THE PRESENT JUNIOR CLASS, THAT was a homesick crowd of Newish who entered the little chapel to attend prayers on the opening day of the session of igoo-oi. Every- thing was so strange and new ; so many students, so many teachers, so many different walks in the campus — so much that tended to confuse and mystify. The Sophs were everywhere, and their presence struck terror to our hearts. We had heard how they tortured the poor insignificant new man until life was hardly worth living. After prayers came the most trying ordeal of all, that of arranging our schedule for the year ' s work. Those of us who happened to have an older brother or father with us were lucky indeed. Every member of the Faculty approached on the subject had a different idea as to just what one should take the first year. Junior Math, was the only study on which they all agreed. Our word counted for little. What mattered it if we had been reading ' irgil for the last five years? That was no sign that we we re proficient on it. For the first few weeks we simply existed ; then when we began to become more and more acquainted with one another, that characteristic of every Newish — freshness — took possession of us. The Freshman year has always been an imitative period, and our class was no exception. When the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes met and elected officers, we at once felt it our duty to do likewise. From time immemorial there has been an unwritten law at ' ake Forest that the Freshmen shall not meet. Although we used the greatest possible secrecy in notifying our men, in some way the old men got wind of it, and when we assembled before the entrance to the Eu Hall, just after dinner on the appointed day, a host of Juniors and Sophs, with a stray Senior or so here and there, met our little band. The struggle that took place has become a bit of College history. By a sudden rush, seventeen terrified Newish managed to get within the hall. Then came the tug of war. Again and again those on the outside attempted to gain the stairs leading up to the meeting-place, encouraged by the cheers and prayers of those who had been so lucky as to break through the barricade of old men. Prominent among these unlucky ones were Bob Dowd and Jack Sprinkle. They fought like demons, but to no avail. Seeing that they were not likely to increase their numljcr by waiting, the seventeen successful Freshmen chose a president pro tern, and called the meeting to order. The object of the meeting was stated, and nominations for president were declared in order. There was where the rub came. Each individual present had a candidate for the place. All order was done away with. The man with the loudest voice was the most effective. A perfect hubbub ensued; thmgs began to look squally, fists were clenched and cutting remarks indulged in. For the time being, confusion reigned supreme. Finally, the trouble blew 26
