J900. CLASS COLOR : White. CLASS FLOWER : White Rose. CLASS YELL: Whoop-la-ra! Whoop-la-re! Walk up ! Chalk up 1 Upidee 1 1900 I Yes— sir-eel k K are only a class of Freshmen (but then all must have % their turn at being Freshmen, and our boasting superiors have had theirs, but maybe they have forgotten it) and so our experience has been rather short and easily told. To begin with, — it was the i6th day of September, 1896, that we began our career as collegians. How well I remember those first few days ! Coming here among strangers it seemed as if there were three times as many students as there were ; and every time I met one it seemed as if he must be a Senior, or at least a Junior. But that feeling soon disappeared. The grinding influence of Al- gebra wore off the corners, -and the smoothing (?) influence of foot- ball polished things up so that all went as quietly as if oiled. (We did get watered sometimes). We heard various allusions to the “ goose-eggs,” “ double nits, etc. ; but w r hen we came to chase the goose-egg with the Sophs, and South Kingstown High School, — well, never mind, we know all about it ! We also know what the professors have said about our marks, as compared with those of the last year’s Freshmen. This is a very enterprising class, for before the second term had gone by it brought some very popular things into the College. As one after another was missed from his accustomed place it was whispered, “ He’s got ’em.” A discussion arose in an English recitation as to whether it was not more correct to say, “ He’s got it. Those w r ho had “ ' em however, were not much in doubt. Because of these mysterious things, great interest was taken in examinations. “ Have you passed in your Book-keeping?” “ Did you pass the Algebra exam. ?” — were questions heard on every side. As I said before, we are only a class of Freshmen ; but we pro- pose to keep climbing, and, as the renowned somebody-or-other from somewhere once said, “ We’ll see you later.” j. R. E.
