Ki! Yi! Yu! Zip! Rah! Zu! P. I., P. I. Ninety-Two. O attempt a description of the many freaks, oddities, and “grinds ” of which the class of Ninety-two is composed, would be to gainsay our traditional superstition. This we are loath to do, since effervescing fortune has covered the class with the froth of prosperity (which will be recognized as a felic¬ itous simile when the character of our Mascot is known). In the light of later history, we were an inconsiderable quantity during the Prep year, hence we will float over those days and drift into the current of the real history of the class. The entrance of the remainder of the men in the following September opened up new fields, and filled the holes in the ball team. Speaking of ball teams, reminds us that ’92, unlike the oyster in the characteristic church stew, is “ in it.” The most surprising event of our Junior days was the defeat of ’90’s “ semi-professionals ” by our boys. ’91 was the next victim, but certain considerations for this class prevent us from enlarging upon its sad defeat, and the series was brought to an end by a hard-fought victory over ’93. ’92’s stock went up, and six of her men held positions upon the Institute nine. 24
