Junior Class History To THE PEOPLE OP THE (iOOD OLD TOWN OF LEXINGTON AND ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, Greeting: We are with you to remain one year more — longer at the discretion of the faculty — awakening you by a mighty ringing of the old college l)ell and the hideous howlings of the Naughty-six. As the college annalist has chronicled, we met early in the fall of 1902 for the first time, and with characteristic magnanimity decided to present Old George with a coat of red, which resolution was speedily carried out. We soon waked up to the fact, however, that there were others who would dispute with us the right of this honor. The Sophs would ha e him don a mantle of blue. Trouble followed. Friends of the day before became sworn enemies. Battle ensued in which Old George ' s coat was sadly disfigured bj the eager contestants. The ' 06 acrobat, Flournoy, gained wide renown by his tumbling stunts in which heights, roofs and the laws of gravitation were left out of account. Ultimately a truce was proclaimed, and later a compromise effected by the terms of which Old George was to wear a harmonious (?) coat of red and blue. The gallant deeds of the valiant defenders and sturdy assailants of this Battle of the Roofs, make livid the college traditions. Three distinguished arrivals of the fall of 1902 failed to participate in the Battle of the Roofs. These were the two most excellent worthy vassals of Lord Baltimore, Drs. Kern and Latane and the grand privy counselor of Sir William Penn, Hon. Jos. R. Long. These splendid gentlemen in spite of their failure — to take part in the battle we have described — h ave, by reason of their commissions gained unpre- cedented authority over the other arrivals of that year; an authority which has proven unyielding to this day. In the stirring events of the following fall ' 06 maintained unsullied her well- earned prestige. Since then she has contented herself with imbibing with marked readiness the secret of successful, loafing, cutting, boning and all the favorite college stunts. Fate has strangely decreed that some who were once of our number should leave mth the Class of ' 05. The same fate, however, has more than replenished our ranks with others who, for reasons which we dare not enumerate, are now of oiu ' number. Once more a united class we drive on toward our Senior year with pride in the past and large hopes for the future.
