(Elasfi fitstorif The Fall of 1918 witnessed the arrival at Kingston Hill of the customary group of grown-up high school children, eagerly in search of an education. Not at once, however, could we organize as a class, for most of us found ourselves incor- porated into Uncle Sam ' s S. A. T. C. After Armistice Day. and the disbanding of the S. A. T. C., we returned in January, one hundred and twenty-five strong, to take up college life in real earnest. We quickly showed up our rivals, the Sophomores, by defeating them in basketball and in debating. Fortunately for them the S. A. T. C. had prevented the customary rope pull and gridiron clash in the fall. We further demonstrated our athletic prowess by furnishing our quota to the varsity basketball and baseball squads. We enjoyed our social events, too — a Freshman Informal at Lippitt, and a Class Banquet at Chin Lee ' s — in spite of Sophomore pranks. As Sophs we bowed to the Freshies in the rope pull, but held them scoreless in football, and trounced them in basketball. In debating we succumbed to yearling oratory, but came back strong with four men on the varsity debate squad, and we had our representatives in all branches of varsity athletics. Our Hop was unusually successful, as was our Second Annual Banquet held in Fast Hall. At the end of this second year we were so unfortunate as to lose our Honorary Member. Miss Harriet L. Merrow, by her retiring from teaching after twenty-five years of service. In our Junior Year we exhibited our characteristic originality and enthusiasm by instituting Junior Week for the first time at Rhode Island State. Our Junior Prom, the principal feature of The Week, was unusually successful, as was our Commencement Ball to the Seniors. Now in our Senior Year, with our laurels won, we have assumed a becoming dignity and maturity of thought and action. Regretfully we sense the rapid passing of the time which will so soon bring us to Commencement, and a parting from familiar scenes and faces. Yet as the largest class ever graduated from Rhode Island State, we still have our part to play as loyal sons and daughters, in the larger world upon which we are entering.
