i55 W01. ss FIVE SCORE years ago. the year 1809 gave birth to men who were destined to become the leaders of their time. So on this anniversary of that noted year the class of 1909 is born into the world under circumstances which prophesy that they, in their turn, will become as potent factors to control and direct the destinies of the coming generations as those brought forth a hundred years ago. This is but a prophecy, but based upon the analogy of years during which the present Senior class has existed, this prediction is the only natural conclusion which could be drawn. In considering the future of the class of 1909, it is fitting that for a moment we should look back upon the record made by them during their college course. In the fall of 1905, like the gathering of a nebulus, came our classmates, fresh from the parental environment of the high schools, to investigate the charms of higher education, whence comes that polish by which they are now distinguished. Late in September of the same year, through the assistance of the Registrar and the Dean of Women, order having been produced out of this chaos, a mass meet- ing was held, to which only those holding green registration slips, as proof of Freshmanship, were allowed within the inner sanctuary. During this conference was fought the memorable Battle of the Pipe-organ, when the sturdy Fresh- man hosts drove back the mighty horde of invading Sophomores. C. E. Elliott, the Famous Journalist, was chosen by the victors to be their standard bearer and captain to lead them on to greater glories. Nothing further transpired to mar the peace and tranquillity during the first semester. The second semester was marked by events which placed the class in the prominence which they have since enjoyed. S. M. Rinaker. our representative at Oxford College, took up the reins of government upon the expiration of President Elliott ' s term, and showed his abil- ity as an executive by being twice elected to this important office. During the first term of President Rinaker ' s administration our class won laurels by securing the basketball championship and winning the interclass indoor track meet. During the second term of this administration our class was neither aggressive nor aggressed upon to any great extent. ' T is true, a new class of be- ings entered upon the campus and usurped our cast-off domiciles. The proper station of these recruits was demonstrated when their chieftain, Heskett, was rejuvenated in the College Fount of Youth, situated at the cross-roads of nth and J streets. An attempt at retaliation was made by these beings, and Verne Gittings, M. of C. of the Sophomore Hop, was abducted and carried to Roca. . rescue partv composed of members of the class of 1909 nobly followed, steamed to the enemy ' s hold, and returned INIr. Gittings in time for him to execute his official capacity at the hop. This rescue at the same time laid the foundation of the class debt. At a later date, the Freshman M. of C. was taken to his hop at a very late hour, and passed the evening handcufifed to a member of the class of 1909.
