of fireworks. The curtain then fell on this the last act of the play "Freshman," per- formed on College Hill by the class of '95 in the presence of '94' Everybody was 110W ready for the vacation which they had so nobly earned. Yet, when the time came for the opening of the next year's work, '95 was in line. Some were missing whom we would have been glad to have seen with tiS again; and, on the other hand, several new arrivals whom we were pleased to welcome as class- mates. Affairs having been set to rights and everything once 1I10rein working order, the next thing on our program was a class meeting. Some wanted it at a certain time; others didn't. Accordingly, we had it at an uncertain time. It was announced by the president ill afternoon chapel that there would be a joint meeting of the Sophomore class all that afternoon. Aud there was a joint meeting. for they became so tangled up and discolljlombobcrfltcd that you could hardly tell which from t'other. This was before the business had begun, but when that was in order, everyone, individually, immediately, completely disentangled himself, or herself, so that he or she might know who he or she was, and for whom he or she was to cast his or her vote. After several interruptions all the part of the lady teachers, we succeeded in getting matters ill such a state that we could adjourn sine die, which we did. Hallow E'en comes but once a year, and '95 being aware of that fact did not let the professors remain long in ignorance of the same. For on their return to their abode after stlpper, they found Ward Hall so completely barricaded that they could not effect an entrance. The students were allowed to enter by the fire escape, but not until long after ringing of the bell for study-hour could the unfortunate professors gain admission. This was the night for great rejoicing among the students, but it was far different on the following Friday after the faculty meeting. Ask some of the third hall boys about 6x5o+30, (pay for one night's work.) Certainly, a great deal of attention is shown the class of '95-probably more than any other on the hill. In the first place, that august assembly, the faculty, doubtless spends more time on Friday afternoon for the sale purpose of giving what they think merited demerits to the Sophomore class than to all the other classes combined; but it must be remembered that our's is not the smallest class at ';Y.M. C.-nor the worst one either. Should we not consider it all honor that we receive so much attention? And the dignified Senior as well as the humble Prep. feels the importance of'95. For who else except '95 will the Seniors take the time for a match game of. ball, and who is it dares to race the ball which dignity has misthrown 011forbidden ground, unless it is some one of '9 6 ? And the lower classes look up to us for everything, even a dress in which to burn their effigy. Either 011 the field or ill the gymnasium we can hold our own. It is true we did not win ill the series of games for the championship last commencement week; but we made '93 work for it, winning one of the three and having to playoff a tie in the score for the decision in the second. However, the first part of this year we Wall in games which we played against the rest of the school. We could 110t have a game with the Seniors alone, they always having some excuse. In the athletic contest held in the gymnasium 011 the loth of December, '92, several of our boys took part, one of them standing third place. 9'
