MOMORE CLASS HWO years ago wc found ourselves for the first time in the sanctified precincts of West 1 ligh. In the beginning of things we were a joy unto ourselves alone; but the ever increasing list of our deeds and misdeeds has been noised afar, and now the name of our class has appeared almost once in the columns of the “Sj ectator. We are indeed progressive. From the first wc have been a conscientious class. Never one of us has failed to clap in the auditorium to shorten third period. Last year, upon our return as Sophomores, we found that a heterogeneous mass of Freshmen were overrunning the place, and that they needed our restraining hand. This we gladly gave, and warded off all dangers from all the blessed traditions of our school. Next year we hope to become Juniors, and the responsibility will not be unpleasant. And finally, if we are good, we may attain the mighty eminence and graduate. Thus, having had a pleasant past, and seeing a golden future, wc can give the Freshman Class a large number of uplifting suggestions.
