History of the Class of 1905 f 31E?! 6 E Glorious Naughty- Fivel Long space agone it chanced that 7 erg:- youths of stalwart heart and maidens young and fair, impelled 2D I. by divers motives brave and true, cloistered themselves within vi the battlemented towers of a University so great that none vm shall assay to measure its greatness. Aye, even so - 'twas in a '1 the gracious year of 1901. And as they met and studied, day by day, ple-rchance in some dim crypt wherein came shaggy- haired professors to teach them learned lore, or in some horrid ,lab as were those places called wherein they learned of alchemyaof sights and sounds and smells unseemly; aye, as they met and mingled in their work, they joined themselves together. Full happy they, as in that year they met and chose as leaders such souls of strength and grace as there might titly represent them. By diligent research and careful study a roll has been compiled and put together whereon is found the names of youths and maidens fair who that year served them. And. since they be of so great value in the annals of that seat of learning, they are here gracefully appended: In the primal year of their assembling the records do foreclose the fact that. .one Clark jennison was ordained President, a certain Frank Lovell Vice- President, the fair Ruth Reddy Secretary, and the mighty Frederick Speik the Keeper of the Exchequer. Contemporary records do remark that they were timely chosen. And, whilst these goodly youths and maidens thus faithfully served their fellow Classmates, an incident of no mean import occurred which in this narrative should hold high place withal. lTis known of most men, so I trow, that in such great and farefamed seats of learning long time the custom has held sway that those that be there entered for their first year of labor do try conclusions with them of one year's better knowledge, that they may determine which of the twain may bear themselves with haughtier mien, upon the college greensward. Not by force of brutal strength do they contend one with another, but by some feat of cunning those that be or' recenter arrival do fain assay to raise in festal guise some graven standard Whereon is writ in figures bold the numbers Which do represent their body. No sooner do they raise their sign than those one year their senior do straightway counsel one with another in what way they may remove the sign, at very sight of which, ,tis said, they turn them mad with haughty rage, and vow to read no learned page till, with all strength and cunning, they have with one accord destroyed ttall sign of these young folk that hear them thus unseemly. For they would liefer go unschooled than roam about from hall to hall and see the Freshman standard. And so it chanced that far apart within a crypt two stalwart souls of Naughty-Five, one Wayland and one Clarence, unto the soul of Elsie fair, so deft with thread and thimble, and loyal to her chosen class, did formulate a scheme whereby the twain should raise a flag full high, the which this loyal sweetest maid in secret was to fashion. ,Twas done! The morning after l-lalloweien the students in their second year, who journeyed to eight-thirties, Viewed from afar the brightly blazoned banner of unruly Freshmen. Ah me! Thereon ensued a right earnest conflict, wherein did those of newer date with glorious feat and noble 27
