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.

1900 CLASS COLORS ; White and Gold. CLASS YELL : Whoop-Ia-ra ! Whoop=la=ree ! Walk up! Chalk up! Upidee! 1900! Yes-sir=ree! I SStIHEN we took leave of you a year ago, we promised to “ see I V »J you later ; ” and as we are men of our word, “ nous void. (Please observe that we have studied French since we saw you ' last.) We are sorry to have lost some of our members, but, as we have gained an equal number, we still have a membership of thirty. We cannot deny that there are some very strange things about this class of 1900. One notable fact is that we always “ Fry ” our game. The class has certainly been growing too “Cross” of late, and it is not so “ Jollie” as formerly, yet it has a large “ Soul(e).” One of our number is called Greene, but we also have a Brightman who looks after our understanding. Another fellow has been a Wheeler all his life, yet his achievements in mathematics are even more brilliant than his cycling record. One of our young ladies is very fond of taking shocks, and of catching Arachnida, ophidia, Lepidoptera, bacertilia, shy chophiladee, Earnellibranchiata, and other such creatures, but these things never seem to “ Hurter.” The proposition in one of the early Sophomore class meetings to receive a Sp(h)inx among our number was at first rather startling, but we concluded that we could “ Tucker ” in.
