SOPHOMORES. Class Colors : — Navy Blue and White. Motto: — ttovu evSo ia. Yell:— A , iaA Re, RahfSg, Re, Rah! I ' ' ¥E are a modest class. Indeed, modesty is our chief charm, though we blush to own it. We are never heard declaring that we are ' 89 ' s, except in a plaintive melody of our own composition which we sing sometimes in the lone starry hours, after the gas has gone out. Modest as we are, we cannot but con- fess that the college would be a dreary place if we were not about. Poets of all sorts abound in our festive midst, who, like Tennyson ' s Brook, go on forever, or at least till the silence bell rings. We have singers of the first water, who make people wish they had been born deaf. Just come to us when you want a man to organ- ize a pillow fight, for about half or at least one-third of the gentle men of the class might fill the position, and some would do credit to it. We have tried to do our best for the welfare of the Freshmen. We strove to impress their infantships with a sense of our dignity by means of a poster of warning. This did not seem to faze them a bit. We had a little affair of canes with them, one still Sun- day morning, but somehow they came out bestlj ' We then resorted to a milder policy, and gave them a reception. This time we won. Skilled are we in weird lore and ancient languages. True, the Greek on our badge is slightly mixed, but then we more than make up for that by the grace with which we glide out the front door when no rude hand is near to hinder. But we should only weary you with a further recital of our merits, so we will stop with- out mentioning that we own three soprano voices, two water-color- ists, a violoncelloist, a second-trombone, two Big Men in Athletics, and an iron-clad determination to make ' 89 a name to be feared by all people smaller than ourselves. 26
