aigasifiiMBriga i igi GATEWAY I G lonk of Btnwrs The copper colored sun dropped as if by magic as the huge steamship, Redick Hall, lifted anchor and lurched forward into the troubled waters. Great confusion issued among the passengers until the commander of the ship divided them into classes. One class he called Seniors and they were the ruling class, wise and mighty. Next came the Juniors and then the Sophomores. Last, but greatest in number, came the Freshmen, for there were over forty of them. But the Class called Freshmen brought with them queer ways, which were not accepted by the other classes, especially the Seniors, and they kept away from them, calling them Greenies. And the newcomers gathered together and chose from their number a leader by the name of Reed Zimmerman, who ad- dressed them, saying: Let us make friends with the other classes by giving them a party after the fashion of their own hearts. The largest hall was found, and in the Gymnasium the party was given, and one hundred and twenty-five guests were present. The royal colors of purple and white floated from the walls, and the Freshmen were pleased, for had they not then held, through a heated contest with the upper classmen, their High School colors under which they had served four perilous years. The waves dashed against the hull as the ship drew near the shore and all the passengers disembarked. The spirit of Spring was in the air and the people decided to crown the Queen of the May, as was their custom. And lo ! for the first time the class called Freshmen were given a Maid to the Queen, and they chose from among their number a fair maiden by the name of Louise Brown. Many days elapsed. The old ship was destroyed and in its place stood forth a large and stately construction called Joslyn Hall, but the people could not find the cozy fireplace nor the long study table over and about which they were wont to congregate to solve the mysteries of Algebra or Livy. After the custom of the school, the Sophomores, as those peoples were called who had arrived home safely from Greenland, gave a never-to-be-forgot- ten Hollowe ' en party. Everyone was masked, fortunes were told, ballet dances were given, and Ringling Brothers could not compete with some of the more radical stunts later in the evening. Shortly after the party came the hike chaperoned by Professor Lewis, who, much to his surprise and humiliation, ar- rived home, escorting a pair of ladies ' kid gloves and a powder puff. Now the time was drawing nigh when they must disband, so, after their custom, they did come together to choose a maid to do honor to the Queen of the May, and it came to pass that frolicksome Jessie Tennant was the chosen one. Again the busy students went forth into the hills and valleys where they might be inspired, and fit themselves for the great work of the year to follow. Great was the leadership they displayed. All Avho attended the hare and hound chase learned rapidly about the intricacies of the beautiful hilly woodlands, where the autumn leaves fluttered from the trees as butterflies went overhead.
