Ejistorg. ELL, at length we are upper classmen! With what feelings of anticipation have ID we looked forward to our Junior year! We may now exercise our prerogative in college meeting or elsewhere, in helping to maintain the dignity of the college at home or abroad in the land. There is a certain feeling of abandon and self-superiority which belongs peculiarly to us. ln Junior year. we sing our glees, We smoke our pipes, and take our ease. And somehow or other, when a Junior leans back in an easy chair with in pipe in his mouth, and his feet mixed up with a lot of books, papers and ink-bottles on the table-the quantity of which incongruous mixture on a collegianls table usually depending on the length of the owner's sojourn in College-behind clouds of smoke, he is sure to smile to himself at the recollection of some event of the preceding two years, which have so quickly flown by. His experiences and successes in the class-room, on the gridiron, the di:unond, and the track, or in the social world, all come vividly back to him, filling him with either pleasure or regret. Perhaps he will feel pleasure that he has covered half the road leading to the goal, for the attainment of which he came to College. On the other hand, he may regret that he cannot live them over again, or he may be the possessor of that indefinable mental consciousness, which assures him that he is so popular with the faculty, that in all probabilities those august gentlemen will feel an unspeakable yearning at the idea of his graduating, and request his further presence. He 'will surely think of the day when he struck the old Dorp and incidentally became a unit in the college world. He will remember his first appearance on the Campus, and the cordial greeting he received from everybody, and most especially from the Sophs, whom he soon learned to know very well indeed. When undergoing the setting-up process, what vows of future revenge he pledged himself to, and with what zest he later fulfilled his oaths! We nrst distinguished ourselves and brought fair fame to our class of looz by displaying unexampled eagerness to have our names on the list of foot-ball subscribers, and in responding to Johnnyls fervid appeals. We then put to shame our rivals and sworn enemies and were second only to the revered Seniors in the amount of our contributions to the support of gridiron athletics. This same characteristic of supporting college activities, manifested so early in our career, has constantly been in evidence. We lost our cane-rush, though by a very close margin, and in the football game, the Sophomores were again victorious. But having by this time become organized, looz distinguished itself by winning the snow-ball scrap and by repeatedly gaining the advantage in Chapel rushes. 30
