12 THE IVY VOL. XXXIII History of Past Year. To most of us it seems as if but one brief week had passed since the freshmen were escorted out of chapel by many willing feet to the tune of Fresh-fresh-fresh! And yet those same striplings are now boast- ing themselves to be sophomores, while those of the Senior class who fondly dreamed of nine long months of college life before them have sud- denly awakened to the fact that these months have eluded their grasp in a most inexplicable manner. The time seems short, true enough, but think of the things that have been done since September the twenty-second, the day on which we wel- comed sixty-eight new men, the largest class which ever enterd Trinity. These people began to show their strength first on the tenth of Octo- ber by winning the underclass meet with the Sophomores by a score of 32 to 4. The best time ever made on our track in the half mile was made by Dougherty, JO7. The only trouble was that he ran only one lap. The first thing, however, which enters one's head in connection with the beginning of college is football. Tn this line of activity we were un- fortunate this year. W' e had a good captain and a good coach, but some of our best players were laid up at critical moments. However, the team did a good piece of work on Inauguration Day by defeating the Stevens Tech. delegation by a score of 5 to O. And what a day for Trinity that Twenty-sixth of October was! Never did her sons assemble with a greater spirit of devotion and enthu- siasm. It is agreed by all that the inauguration of Dr. Luther as our elev- enth president marks the beginning for the college of an era of prosperity such as has been hitherto unknown. As soon as we had settled down again to ordinary living, the cry of All out, Freshman Banquet! H was raised and everyone was kept on the jump till December third, when that annual event took place in Spring- held. Springfield people are always glad to see Trinity men. VVe enjoyed the unusual pleasure of a three weeks' vacation at Christ- mas, after which the watchword was basketball. The interclass games created much excitement for a while, and the championship of the col- lege was Hnally won by the Sophomores. The 'varsity team was very lively and took both of the games with Vlfesleyan. The height of the social season came at the usual time, just after the midyear's exams. Everything in junior Wfeek went off with great success and all agreed that the Prom had never been surpassed.
