our new friends, and we were not long either in acquiring the essentials necessary to make us full college students, so the teachers said, and we thought so. The first event of special importance was securing the Sophomore colors, The ovcrwillingness of some of the Sophomore girls to get rid of their beautiful bows of class colors, and their unwillingness to wear them in public, was readily foreseen by some of the Freshman boys, who kindly consented to relieve them of their perplexity by securing and wearing the colors in public first themselves, after a little" forced argument" with the Sophomore boys. Presently the I, Brutes," whose animal nature secured the mastery over them, having heard of our widely-known talent, kindly requested (?) one of our number, whom they had allured to their hall, to display his vocal and elocutionary ability in the presence of a well-filled 1'00111.

Those who peruse the columns of the College Monthly were undoubt- edly surprised, after repeatedly reading many of its choice literary produc- tions, to find the familiar '05 signature immediately following them. In society work Freshmen have taken prominent parts, some of them being spirited debaters and good speakers. Some have had the honor of presid- ing as president pro tcm., filling the chair with all the dignity and ability of a Senior. While we are envied by all, a most kindly feeling exists be- tween '05 and the other classes. Now, let us talk about something of which we all love to talk-our girls : yes, Our Girls, the girls of '05. Seventeen in number, but dear to OUt' 111
