FRESHMAN YEAR 15 Rushing, Freshman Rushing! ! It has been several minutes since I wrotethat last sentence. My pipe has gone out, and so has yours. I feel it coming over me. Stealthily I produce my poetic license, ready to show to critics, and other traffic regu- lators. Deftly I vault upon the vertebrate of the unsuspecting Pegasus. Whoa! Damn him, he 's running away! AN ELEGY IN A PLACE or Tones There are Freshmen on the sidewalks, There are Freshmen on the street, There are Freshmen sprinting madly down the drive. Can it be a moonlight marathon, A gun-men's fast retreat?- No, they 're making seven dates at forty-ive. But the hair oil, and Pornpeiian! 'Tis their morals are decayin' -Look you there, his raven eyebrows have been brushed. And the way they swear and pray in Fearful whispers is a treat. It 's the Class of nineteen sixteen being rushed. There is There is There is And the dope from San Francisco, dope from northern Maine, dope from Academic and the dean 5 scandal in the atmosphere Would make E. Craig profane. It 's enough to make the senate intervene. Is it true that Is it true that Elmo 's packing? Cloister 's backing Franklin 's scheme to blow up York because they crushed T. C.'s plan of Vernon ' s stacking Empty kegs in Sachem's lane? That 's the stuff they told when young sixteen was rushed Oh we swiped their free Fatimas, And we drank their luscious pops, And we ruined all the furniture in sight. How they listened to our parlance While we filled That's the way Oh! the rumor Oh! the bustle And the coffee 'em up with hops! we made them treat us every night! and the worry, and the hurry, and the drone of voices hushed. I And a gloom so dense and furry That it drizzled down in drops. It's no Ostermoor of roses when you 're rushed.

14 HISTORY OF 1916 S. f elevators. But some way or other we got by, and spoiled the annual Celebration of our Academic acquaintances. A large group of Juniors who had come to realize the superiority of our Class over their own took this occasion to enroll themselves in it. ,In spite of this astounding record, we found that no prom vacation was to be allowed. The imputation is clear, of course, and has been correctly interpreted by Chilton. The Senior Council realized that with men as attractive as ourselves on the streets, the girls would become so fascinated that they would ditch the upper classmen, and go to the movies with us. It would be well to note two things at this time. One is the amaz- ing number of rumors which went the rounds to the effect that a half, and probably three-quarters of the Class was to be dropped, as a result of the mid-years. The other is the wonder- ful tale of Andrew Fletcher, who, by previous arrangement, met the promness of one, Schiller, of the Senior Class, at the station an hour before she was officially due, showed her the beauties of New Haven, and returned in time to deposit her on the platform, there to be met by her escort. It seems to me also, that Armour, Oongdon, Walt Bales, Dickey, Wick and others made the Apollo, at this time, and that the daily ducking of Lee Brewer was instituted as another Sheff tradition.
