,fig mu f f W , 2 'Elf-QWMQYZ: X, 1 ' 'i i iffi Wow! 0 A Zif 4 K i v FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY pleted its hrst year of toilsome pleasure in this magnificent institution with its historic buildings and ancient faculty We conscientiously believe that we have brought honor to ourselves and have done credit to the College by our efforts to follow the directions of our earnest and self sacrificing instruct- ors because three or more of our number made the green football team and others didn t burst in the first course of gymnasium exercise Break- ing away from past traditions as Panama did from Colombian rule we startled t ie civilized world when early in the session we elected as president of our honorable body a gentleman previously of a higher class Hearing of the opening and being, from Arkansas he condescended to take a step backward and upward. At the organization of our class we decided to lead the school in athletic spirit. We were loyal to the GARNET AND BLUE, both in successes and defeats. We held our place on the side line during the football season, and earnestly tried to manifest our appreciation of the efforts made by our repre- sentatives on the gridiron. Our enjoyment at first was somewhat marred by ll 1 Y 7 .

We didn't see where the gold came in, nor how the empire could tell when a man was on or off Chisj side. It seemed that they were on their heads most of the time and so mixed up that we could tell whether this man's feet were his or not. And why they called it foot ball we don't to this day see-the head always played the prominent part. In accordance with our athletic spirit we passed a bill to this effect, namely: H Every member of the class shall pay fifty cents toward defraying the expenses of Captain Smith and other officers of the Athletic Association. On the first day only a few of us had taken front seats in the chapel when some lady- afterward known as Miss Sears --kindly conducted us to the rear, stating that it was neces- sary for Freshmen to remain near the door to prevent a disturbance in case of homesickness. just as the teachers came marching in we heard a terrible noise on the right, and what was it? Half a dozen naughty boys-Sophomores-screaming something about they were the tricks, and trying to bow-wow like a lot of canines. Such ill manners! No sooner had they ceased when another crowd, nearer the front, began to yell, We're alive! And they made no mistake, either. They were the Juniors, who had passed through the Freshman and Sophomore years and were yet living. Not considering it our duty, we didn't reprove them. The yelling continued at Intervals, but we didn't take part. Suddenly the noise be- came quiet. An instructor was standing at the desk, staring in our direction, patiently wait- ing. Supposing they were waiting on us, and as we had whispered it around, we slowly, and in a low tone, began: Boom! boom! give us room, etc. It was obvious from the result that we had made a mistake. A smart Sophomore came back and closed the doors, saying, as he returned, Why don't some of you people back here wake up and shut these doors? Our class has been well represented both on the 'Varsity and Freshman baseball and basket ball teams. It is said that a bird that can sing and won't sing ought to be made to sing. What about a team that can play and won't play? ' Our accomplishments are numerous. We have learned how to come into chapel exer- cises late. We can talk in the library. We know what car goes to the transfer station. When our lessons are long and we are borne down under conditions we cannot sustain, we know what to do, namely: to ride. We also have a few golden-haired members in our' class, both active and honorary. The results of our existence are evident. Our influence will tend to weaken the authority of the faculty and strengthen the power of the students, break up classes. and abolish gym- nasium, and substitute holidays for work days. It has left a wide gulf between the students and faculty that neither the Chancellor's great deeds, nor Miss Sears' nuh-nuh-nos, nor Prof. Weld's do-do's, nor Prof. Peterson's ers, nor any of the characteristic qualifica- tions and eccentricities of any of the authorities can ever hope to span.
