History of the Class of ' 9T. The most superficial student of the world ' s history will tell you that history not only repeats itself, as some wiseacre took upon himself to say, but it oftentimes happens that two distinctive growths may have developed in the same way, and that the history of the two developments may be identical. It is not necessary for us to take up here the different examples so patent to every person that has ever dabbled in the stream of historic knowledge. Suffice it to say that the best authorities on the subject are agreed that the h istory of Ninety-seven is not one peculiar to itself (the author- ities in question are not capable of such shallowness of judgment, showing, as it does, lack of schol- arship). It has, in truth, a parallel. As our mother tongue, profiting by the other speeches with which it came into contact, assimi- lated the good features of construction and idiom, and took unto itself the best the vocabularies of its associates afforded until it now stands forth in its perfection, so Ninety-seven, emerging from the darkness of the preparatory schools, has ever continued in the path of progress, not hesitating to profit by the examples of those with whom it came into contact, taking up strength on the waj ' , but never wavering in its onward progress, the Class now stands forth in its completeness, and it is no boasting on our part that makes us say it is completely complete. When the sun rose over the dusty brick buildings and jaggy looking telegraph poles of Ganal Street on the morning of October ist, Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-three, it might have found quietly slumbering in various parts of the great metropolis a number of — shall I call them men? — whose noble brows he was only too happy to kiss, and when he had gone some three hours on his journey he had seen the beginnings of a great organization. His rays glistened on the green bodies of the Freshmen; but, alas ! the rays of the Lord of Day were not long to light up old Erin ' s hue, for this was soon hidden by the white and yellow and what not colors of the chrysanthemums captured from an overbearing and self-confident enemy. The Sun saw the battle (so says an old chronicle), and in justice to the victors made the con- quered wear ever afterward the badge of their dishonor, the colors of the flowers they had lost — the Orange and White. The God of Thunder then frowned upon the ignominious defeat of the self- appointed champions of the yellow and white chrysanthemums. Then did the soothsayers affirm it to be the will of the gods that the symbols of Ninety-seven should be Light Blue and Dark Blue — the former as a witness that the Sun was ever mindful of the action of the class upon that day ; the latter in commemoration of the fact that the Thunder God also witnessed the battle. Nor did the Sun and the God of Thunder fail in encouraging those to whom their symbols pertained. Thus early having acquired the favor of the gods, the class has gone forward. One of the glorious ones of the memorable conflict was honored with the captaincy of the college football team, for, as the sages say, brave men are recognized by the company they keep. Before the year ended the chrysanthemum defenders, the ignominious band wearing the Orange and White, tried in a more strategic way to lay low the wearers of the Light Blue and Dark Blue. 3 25
