'93 f\S SOPHOMORES. .;. FTER showing our friends the thing or two, one of which being how much sense ~~ one can lose in a few months, we returned to our Alma Mater as Sopns.

There was much demanding our attention, many important things to be done ; of them we can mention a few only. One of the first, nnd , in fact, the very first, was the organization of our class. The time had come when we should elect officers, so soon after our return the class was called together and the officers were elected to the various positions as they were thought most suitable. \Ve knew OIH members pretty well, having studied them for a year. We first elected our president. The qualifica- tions for this office were: He should have a proper amount of dignity, and be so good as to never use a pony, hook recitations, break in the pantry, smile at the oppo- site sex, or go all an *S.

This person was also required to commune at times with the oracles. We found the philosophical reasoner who' could read one's mind very well, and it only remained to see if she were ever absent from herself and sur- roundings.

She was chosen. For NO·3 we needed one who would correctly note all our proceedings, and one who liked much writing. From the great city of Walkersville one walked up here; he uns been riding ever since-not always ill a carriage. He soon proved himself worthy of ..~.
