, H TODGE. HUTCHCRQFT. ation eshmen, we are You know that 3. One ofthe the eye of the :an ever forget aiting for-we every eye in ag and learned days through ieeting some- gher schools, had but little art. On the Or requested him to draw several objects, among them a bird and a dog, proceeded to draw the former. After finishing and scrutinizing it closely. he decided that it bore more resemblance to a dog, so he wisely erased its bill and passed it in as a dog, prob- ably a bird-dog. We didn't find out what he did for another birdg but you will agree that if he is so cruel to birds, he will have to be careful lest a member of the Audubon society should pass his way. But we must be silent, especially in the halls, and not narrate too many of the brilliancies of our class, or we will find our- selves the envy of that class of students who are called Sophomores. The name is indeed appropriate, being derived from a Greek word meaning foolish. We sup- pose that those Freshmen who joined the Sophomore class did so without looking up the meaning of the word, but we heard it remarked that they may be in the right class after all. The ball teams of the two classes played a game a short time ago, it will be unnecessary to add that the Freshmen beat, I3 to 5!!! For a year we have studied, really quite wearing ourselves away, but there is hope yet for the Freshies. We feel ourselves as mere infants in Normal work, but will probably learn to follow the example of the much envied juniors and Seniors and after awhile, lo! but what's the use of anticipating? So that at this early period, all the history we can relate is, that we are in the Normal School with a firm deter- mination and desire to make ours one of the brightest pages in the history of the school. lVe hope, when you call again you shall hear our history, not from us, but from those who witness our progress and success. CARD or THANKS. iVe wish to return thanks to those Freshmen, who by their kind labor and patient effort, have rendered no assistance. They have so punctually staid away from all the meetings and so liberally contributed nothing at all. HTHE SORROWING ONES. I rims, -fix 5 F E ff- :ii 1' hi -n f -3.1. x i Z P a fl
