Hi ory of the Class of 1909 I II ' . Tl I IRl ) W ' c ' iics l;i - (if Sci.lciiilicr. in llic fall nf 1905. is tlir ila ' JK ' ld iiin i (Irar in llic minds of (he class of npij. |. oi- it was on this l)ri,L;lu ami snnny (la ' thai onr collet c career at this ,L; ranil old inslitnti ' 11 was lie iin. In onr l ' reshinan year we did not make such a strong slKiwint;- on the ,L;ridii-on hut nevertheless we had three res ' ular nien on the team besides many ] romisin.i;- men for the followini vear. ( )n the basehall team we had two re. ular men wdio were always cons])iciions hv their star pla iny, besides several who were ] rominent on the second team. This vear onr class went throu.yh without a sinok. fadure et when we retm-ned in the Fall of igori our nnmher had ilwindled to si.xteen. two havin,i;- left colle,!.;e and two having; decided to take special courses. Onr class dnrint; the previous year was very (|uiet : realizing our jiosition. we knew that it was best for us not to incur the wrath of the Sophomores bv making ourselves too conspicuous, b ' or this rea.son we did not elect any class officers, but in the Sophomore year we realizeil that we were out of danger, and decided to execute our duties as So|)homores to the utmost, b ' irst we elected class officers, A. H. Porter being our first president. It was during this year that we had the Preps, and Freshmen at onr command, causing several of them to make high records as track men. and added sewral members to the glee club, after consider- able hard work and much training; but we feel that our work and time was not lost, as they have since pro -ed to be -aluable men. ( )n the gridiron this year our men. whc) were four in number, were alwa s reflecting credit not onl - on the class of i(jo ' ) but also on dear (dd Washington. In baseliall om- ])la -ei-s were alwavs fast, as it was almost impossible for a ball to pass through shortstop or third l:)ase, although it was seklom they had a chance when our pitcher was in the box. We did not go through this year like the pre ' ious year as one or two members decifled to wait until li)lo to graduate. When we returned the following fall we found, much to om- regret, that onlv eleven of our members were present, . lthough few in number we determined to do our work in a creditable manner. At the first meeting of the class we elected Page Seventeen.
