They might as well have tried to stop the onward flow of the mighty Mississippi ; nor could the results have been more disastrous. A sad, disheartened crowd left the diamond. They have never tried to come again against the god-favored body, but in the manner of worn-out wet hens, still flap their wings and crow — and over what? The lesson of expeiience is a valuable one. The followers of the Light and Dark Blue profited by the example of those that precede. They were peaceful, nor tried to run over green Freshmen. These, however, wished to try to overcome the heroes of the College, and chose the bloody gridiron for the place. Then was seen such carnage as never before did witness the campus. Encouraged by the Tightness of their cause, the men of Ninety-sev en rent the air with their melodious melody, telling of the deeds of valor of their chieftains. The enemy left the field crushed, and only too glad that the generosity of Ninety-seven had exempted them from a whitewash. [It has been found that the history of the class has grown too long for its original purpose — a guide to other bodies of men, teaching them by example to be meek, not self-seeking, fair and upright. — Eds. of Jambalaya.] The above note in the MS. makes us omit the menton of the other deeds of the Class — no less illustrious than those already mentioned: The disciplining of the present Freshmen, the furnishing of the Football Team with nine out of the eleven players, the decorating of the platforms of the Rail- road Company in colors symbolic of the adjacent property-holders, the carrying through of the Spring Games for the last three years, the holding in check of the Sophomores, the writing of theses for the Seniors, the passing of examinations (?), the lending of ponies to professors as the examinations approach, the dedicating of a $100,000 Gymnasium, and last, but not least, the acting in such an honorable and unostentatious manner, with no blowing of horns and no running of Glee Clubs to the tune of minus three hundred dollars. We pass over without mentioning these things, but feel confident that everybodj ' is grateful for what we have done, even though they are too envious to say so. So in our own meek, mild and unassuming way we make our bow, knowing our superiority, but without vaunting it on all occasions. How we condole with the University on its prospect of losing such a body in June, 1897 ! Oh, Tulane, beware of not giving honor where honor is due. You owe all of your glory, all you have, to Ninetj ' -seven. 26
