W'hen we entered the Senior year the only cloud that darkened our sky was the one caused b5 the dread of Ethics. Things have changed since we entered college. After our Freshman year Algebra was made an elective. In our Junior year the faculty ceased to attend exams. in the capacity of spies. In our Senior year we are allowed to go to church anywhere we wish on Sunday morning. Our ranks from time to time have been broken into by the faculty, sickness, and marriage. Our class made the greatest record ever made here in its Freshman year, when more men failed to pass up in Algebra than ever failed in any branch before. Ninety-four is fearfully and wonderfully made in another respect, viz., that we have some of the brightest as well as some of the dullest men that ever entered Wesleyaii. VVe have some noble men as well as men that aren't,men at all. There are splendid specimens in some lines. For example, who can beat Judd at bluffing, VVhite at skidding, or Lounsbury at braying. As athletes we have done better work than as scholars. Never were we beaten in foot-ball and only once in base-ball. Twice we have captured the class cup and are waiting a chance to defend it against all comers. Rumor says four of our number are engaged, QGordon, Thompson, Frost and j. Many more would like to be. Our struggle with the exam-fiend is nearly over. Our race on the campus from recitation to recitation is nearly run. Some are waiting Phi Beta Kappa elections, but more are not. Soon we leave our chapel seats. We departing, leave behind us -lots of 1V's and V's on the secretary's book, many a 35 bill in the unpaid bills in the town. Before we leave and say farewell. Until we do, bear with loyal to our Alma Mater and praying that uates. pockets of the faculty for extra exam- fees, and plenty of for parts unknown we will sell our old furniture and books us and our imperfections a little longer. We go from here we may be better alumni than we have been undergrad- 18

Senior History. Q Q HE class of Ninety-four appears for the last time in the QLLA PODRIDA. Before she passes out of the minds of men it is fitting that some portions of her history be recorded. VVhen we entered we were, as all other classes, the largest and best class that ever entered here. Numbers gave us courage. The first morning after our arrival a large banner floated in our honor from the trees of the campus. Soon Chauncey Chase appeared on the campus smoking a pipe. Then we became aggressive and undertook to act the part of escort for belated Sophomores. On the eve of XA.72lSl1lI'1gtO11'S Birthday we had a ghost dance and parade while the cannon was being fired. Then '93 takes a hand in the game. They wickedly steal our president and keep him from the banquet. They paint our great hurdler's running gear green. They help our artist decorate the sidewalks with red paint. Then they try to get out a poster to surpass ours, but fail miserably. The year rolls on and the time for the class supper comes. 'We have a great walk-around. Some one smashes Billy lVIead's door. Doc Raymond fires Freddy Frost out of South Collegeg Grant, the strong man, comes to his rescue and belabors Doc's bald pate with his cane. A scrap ensues and Doc loses his hat Qwhich goes to adorn the scrap books of the naughty Freshj. VVe have a howling time at East Haddam singing songs and smashing street lampsg Cof course we paid the fiddlerj. Thus ended our Freshman year. XVe were too fast as Sophsf' Gillies' windows are busted in for the 17th time. Dyer is treated to a coat of limewash. Prexy holds private smzzrrs for a few days with some of us and then we receive little notices to the effect that some of us may, if we desire, take a short vacation, or else pay our whole tuition and tell our papas what naughty boys we are. Hostilities Cease. The junior was uneventful. 17
