S011 fmomore Editorial. Hizmn-krxr-oc-Do-A-KON-TA, EIGHTY-SEVEN! Whoop la! Here we are again! Since the present Gul Board has deigned to recognize our peculiar fitness for figuring, individually and collectively, as the clowns of their pages, we enter the ring in the regulation manner. Before proceeding farther, we wish to express to these gentlemen our heartfelt thanks for this, the very first recognition of our peculiar talents. But we knew it would come. Murder will out, and we only wonder that the abnormal cheek, phenomenal verdancy, and uniformly sorry appearance, that have been our constant and peculiar characteristics, have remained so long unrewarded. Eighty-six has striven long and nobly to deprive us of each of these ele- ments of our class nature, but to no purpose. She has thoroughly hazed every man of us 3 she has taken cane after cane from us 3 she has wiped clean the campus with the prostrate forms of our foot-ball team, she has literally walked away with the rope to which dangled the wriggling, groaning representatives of our brawn. Yet with what result? Despite it all, we have swept up the fragments, and re-appear, as you now see us, in all the pristine glory of our verdancy. We aspire not to fame on the campus, we care naught for V. His , let not a single Phi Beta Kappa key hang against our class vest: but only let us leave, emblazoned upon the walls of our Alma flhzier in letters of living green, the watchword of our brotherhood, FRESH- izsrf' You who would fain dispute it, answer us in candor. Does not our Record bear us out in this? Have you not heard sufficient Noyes in our ranks to convince the dullest ears? Can you name even a single Miner point of freshness that is not beyond approach or precedent? Our very class colors are cardinal and old gold, - blood and brass. 'l'o the two upper classes we would offer a word of apology for thus striving to demonstrate what is, to them, a self-evident fact. We merely wish to em- brace this opportunity to challenge those who are at present striving to dispute . 2 5
