The class of ' 93 entered -the University on September 5th, 1889, with fort ' -seven men, and since tlien it has grown to over sixty men. A part of the class stood their examinations in June, 1889, and much to their sorrow some of them had the pleasure of standing a few of them again in September. During our sta} ' here Commencement several of us met some of the professors (?), who informed us that we were not prepared well enough to enter, and upon our getting frightened and turning pale we were greeted with the cry of Fresh., and the entire crowd laughed at our expense. But with all the jokes and pranks played on us b} ' the then rising Sophomore class we had a ver}- pleasant time and looked forward wnth mixed pleasure and apprehension to the time when we should return to the Hill to enter as students of the University and to meet the wise Sophomore in his glory. Soon after college opened we were treated to our share of blacking and beino whistled as we walked acro.ss the campus, and, last but not least, of being affectionately called Fresh., all of which w as done by the Sophomores 22

and a few who had been Sophomores, but were still in the ring and knew the ropes too well to think of giving up their fun so soon. About two weeks later most of the Freshmen joined the Societies and many, upon the advice of their friends, carried with them their Bibles to be sworn in upon in preference to kissing the Society Bible. In October came the State Fair at Raleigh, which attracted a number of us and a good number of others from their work. Then came examinations in December, much to the sor- row of many of us, as was after vards shown, and shortly afterwards came the enjoyable Christmas holidays. After Christmas we were increased by a few who came in, and we grew so bold that four of us undertook to black a Freshman who had lately arrived, but they were run away by some Sophomores, and they were unsuccessful in what they attempted. On the 2 2d of February came the annual election of medalists, all of whom came from the class of ' 93, and it is needless to say that those who received medals were ter- ribly bored and twisted. On the 15th of April came the class day of ' 90, and in the evening was field day, and ' 93 won the one mile run, love beino the winner, and her tusr- of-war team, composed of Lilly, McMicheal, Currie and EUer, beat the Senior class team by over two feet. The first meeting of our class was in the chapel, to organize a foot-ball team for the class, only to be beaten by ' 91. The next meeting was in the Fresh. Math, room, second floor of South Building, when the officers of the class were elected and a yell and colors adopted. We have one man from the extreme West and another from nearly as far East, and two men from outside the State, and add to w hat has been said, that the class of ' 93 is the finest in the University, and its history is complete.
