The Class had no football team of its own, during the season of 97. but it showed its ability in combining with the Sophomores, and winning each of the several games played. We also had several members on the “varsity” eleven, which is in itself a very great honor, and one of which few classes can boast. Early in the spring we formed a base-ball team, which has amply upheld the honor of its class. Of course we have our “curios,” as has every class; we are proud to have “Sousa” in our midst, also several other musicians of note. Our “ mascot ” always brings good luck ; he was prominent on each of the above-mentioned “elevens,” which to any well informed per- son explains itself. His favorite pastime is dancing the Schottische. Well! we are only Freshmen now, but soon we “cross the awful chasm” and become Sophomores. Then let the Freshmen beware for we prophesy trouble ; and now we bid you good-bye, until we meet you again in the next “Grist.” c. G. A.

1901. CLASS COLORS: Crimson and White. IrSfijlK have now nearly completed three terms of college life, I V J and is with pride that we submit to the public the record of our events. On the 2i st of September, 1897, we entered the Rhode Island College. We were not long in making acquaintances among the upper classmen, and we found them to be a genial set of young people; although at first they sometimes sent us to the wrong places, or told us “ Bear Stories.” During the first few weeks our efforts to appear decorous must have caused much amusement among the other classes, but that is no more. When we selected our class pins, some of the members wished to have them of a different design from that used at present ; but, when the pther classes and the faculty asked us to keep the old design, we agreed not to make any change. In October the Juniors gave a reception to our class, at which we made many new acquaintances, and received our first impres- sions of college society. For the most part the Sophomores have refrained from troubling the Freshman; a few of them did, however, try to give us some “Cold Baths,” but they retired with more speed than grace.
