' 90. Class Colors : — Light Blue ami Dark Blue. Motto : — -parrs. Yell : — Hoo, Rah, Ray ! IIoo, Rah, Ray ! Hoo, Rah ! Hoo, Rah, go ■ T ever behooves the historian to adhere to simple- facts. But ' 90, you are such a wild, spirited class, that in chronicling your achievements a statement of the plain, unvarnished truth reads like an exaggerated tale, full of daring exploits, thrilling and incom.pre- hensible. You are truly reckless. Ever and anon gentle- whispers reach our ears iina ' 91) of unsigned con- stitutions ; and then you know how, after a desperate struggle, against terrible odds, you routed (from the third-story window) the Freshmen in that eventful cane rush. (Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and so7ne have greatness thrust upon them.) And later, when you heard that heart-rending Why! Why! Why! how you were filled with feelings of deepest commiseration. A tender thought suddenly moved you to follow the worthy example of your predecessors. Hoping- thereby to soothe your ruffled and disappointed adversaries, you held in their honor a reception. During the early part of the season, two from your festive midst were seized with a fiery ambition to sport their high silk hats out the front portal of the College. A joint class meeting is held. A petition sent to the faculty. Alas ! that worthy body crushed those rising hopes, and the disconcerted pair must wait yet another year ere they behold reflected in the college pet the shining image of their darling hats. There is one feat in foot-ball that will ever reflect honor upon you. You are the second Sophomore class that ever whipped Haverford in that sport. No doubt due to the presence of your sister classmates. Borne along upon the pinions of an original proposition, and enveloped in the shadowy mazes of a Greek verb, what a future will be yours ! May the Gods grant you pleasure and profit. VVho is that man, with head bent clown, A world of wisdom in his frown, Who o ' er his book is seen to pore From morn till night ? Ye Sophomore. 22
