I90L Class Colors. Olive-Green and Orange. Class YelL Hullabaloo ! Hooray = Hooray ! Hullabaloo ! Hooray=Hooray ! Ra! Re! Ri-Ro-Rum ! Aggie College ! Naughty=One ! Class History. Visions of the summer haunt me, And the autumn ' s bygone days ; Old September ' s cheery greeting, And October ' s golden rays. Vision s of the so-called Freshmen, Standing now triumphant o ' er The remains of 1900, Not the mighty class of yore. For, my high and mighty brethren, If my horoscope is true, There is not so much of glory In old M. A. C. for you. (IE, the Class of Nineteen-Hundred and One, began our college IL iJ course on the 9th of September, 1897. We were, as might be expected, very green and inexperienced. Before us loomed an obstacle of unknown power, namely, the Owl Club. Is it then to be wondered at that a few of us fell into the toils of the Sophs, and gave a free-for-all entertainment on the goal posts ? I need not go into the details of this little exhibition, but suffice to say that we, in our small way, tried to amuse them, and surely, the exercises were varied. 26

Since cane-rushing is out of vogue, we can not boast of that victory. Nevertheless, one night we had the not-wholly-unalloyed pleasure of rushing the Sophomore class for nearly two hours. Ever since entering, we had heard much of the annual rope-pull, and, naturally, we expected a challenge, but were somewhat puzzled at being challenged to pull on the 31st of September. Ever since we have been able to lisp we ' ve known the little doggerel which runs : Thirty days hath September, etc., therefore, the only conclusion we could reach was that the Sophs had somehow gotten control of the calendar, so we took things as they were and accepted it. We waited patiently for the date but, alas, it did not come. Finally we were called before the chief justice of the Senior tribunal, and his decree went forth that we were dead slow, because we had not pulled rope on the appointed date. Not wishing to be thought slow or timid, we immediately posted a challenge for a possible date, on which date — I am sorry to say — we were defeated. As the next thing to be considered was football, we formed the team and played the Juniors, being beaten by the small score of 4-2. In two other games with Sunderland, we were victorious, with the scores of 32-0 and 6-0. These scores and our little experience made us feel confident that we could score on the Sophomore team — the Varsity would be more correct — which we did. In Military we are very proficient, there being but one or two of us unable to distingush his right hand from his left. These men are now drilling on Saturday mornings with the Sophomore class, who perform on the campus by special permit of the faculty. It is often asked us by upper-classmen and strangers, What records do you hold ? We believe we can truly answer that we have at least two men who have beaten all former hash-house records, and stand ready to meet all comers. In conclusion, we would say that we highly appreciate the favors shown us by our foster parents, and beg leave to sign ourselves The much-roasted Class of 1901. 27
