30 THE GRANITE, 1910, voL.II History of the Class of 1909 rv-1,1 EMPUS fugit. Yet a few more short weeks and the Class of 1909 will be numbered among the ages. A history, according to Noah Webster, Ql:5'311,I,r is a narrative of past'events, but to historify the illustrious Class of i909 is by no means an easy task. Not that our short life at New Hampshire has not been filled with noble deeds, and crowned with the laurels of , victories, and finally the goal ofisuccess reached: but to us who are soon to leave New Hampshire the hollow words of self-praise seem a thin veneer with which to cover the glorious numerals upon which we are for the last time asking you to gaze. In September, I905, New Hampshire College opened wide her gates, we marched in nearly eighty strong, the upper-classmen stretched forth their hands to render homage to a budding genius, and we were a part of the college. During our Freshman year we acquainted ourselves thoroughly with the college, spent considerable time with our books, and made ourselves as inconspicuous as possible. Thus it was that we builded a firm foundation for our class, and in our last years have been able to cope successfully with the problems before us, working continually for the betterment of our college and for the honor of our class. i The individuality of a man grows as he advances in years. Thus it was with our class, for during our Sophomore year we perceived that in order to be foremost we must be original. So, in February of this year, we ushered the Sophomore Hop into New Hampshire College, This social event met with such favor that it has now become a regular college custom. This year, as in the one previous, we were successful in class contests, and also made progress enough in our studies to have our stay in Durham extended for another year. This year was really our start, and our individuality was marked by our originality. By the usual process we were made Juniors. We had spent two years in Durham, and had become so enthused with New Hampshire spirit that we could not remafn idle this year. Where there's smoke there's fire. We discussed and searched, and finally another new custom was brought out--we published the Hrst volume of The Granite. We labored exceedingly this year, that we might not be driven from Durham now that our mission was nearly accomplished. The passing of our third year at New Hampshire was celebrated with a clambake down the Bay.
