SENIOR Class, a4

Page 32 text:

History of the Senior Class HE class of 1903! We hesitate to undertake the task of writing its history, for the class has done so much that any account of its doings is a stupendous task. We begin it with all reverence. It was not until the fall of 1899 that we gathered together as a class, but for years before the schools of near and far had been preparing their highest scholars for the supreme moment when they should matriculate at Delaware College. Having matriculated satisfactorily to all, we grasped the fact that there was an actual body called the Freshman Class. If we had not, the Sophomaores would have soon impressed it upon us. Of course, we all came with high ideals of honor and scholarship to live up to, except Lockwood. He says: Ideals, nothing! T had my eye peeled for the Soph. They say that we should give the devil his due. The Sophomare Class, although smaller in numbers, did not hesitate to attack us, and on the Gym. porch we, unorganized and frightened, repulsed them with fearful loss. The fact of having won our first fight gave us courage, and urged on by the Seniors, we boldly attacked a class meeting of the Sophomores in the Assembly Room, where they were debating how to annihilate us. This fight resulted satisfactorily to us also, and with this we stopped fighting for the remainder of the year, except for occasional little hazings and skirmishes. We joined all the societies, associations and teams that we could, and displayed an unusual amount of College spirit. Out of the twenty-nine men in our class, we had one on the Varsity foot ball team, one substitute and four on the scrub. We studied hard, and also painted our numerals in all sorts of hitherto impossible places, just to let people know we were still around. When we returned for our Sophomore year changes had taken place in our enrollment, Rocky Davis, Charcoal Ponder and Quillen dropped out to enter business life: one d back from the class above, in which he showed his great good sense, and one entered the class, mak- ing our number twenty-eight. The Freshman Class of that vear outnumbered us, but realizing our duty, we conscientiously ducked every Freshman we could find under the shower-bath, which had just been installed. After drill one afterncon we essayed to prevent them from returning to their rooms, and held them back until one member of the Board of Trustees, who always carries weight, helped the Freshmen out. Out of respect for him, we drew back. A few days later, on the steps of Recitation Hall, we beat both the Freshman and Junior Classes. It was during this fight that Mary Prouse, 'z, the co-educational side of College
