Show "THE CRUISE OF THE FOREMOST."One-a-zippe!Two-a-zippe!Zippe-zippe-zam!We're tne class of naughty seven,Jind don't give a -------/Hobble-gobble, razzle-dazzle, Sis, boom, ball! Juniors, Juniors, Rah-rah-rah!CHERE are only forty left of the seventy-odd Freshies who first gave that yell, and yet it has been a case of the survival of the fittest, for in all that forty there is not a single dead one. You may call a Junior lazy and suffer little more than a broken nose; you may even call him a sluffer and still escape, but woe be unto you if you even hint that he isn't "game for any fuss;" for, to him, that is the acme of insult.Early in our Freshman year we became a factor in the University through the prowess of our foot-ball team, which was only defeated by the '05 Seniors with a score of 6 to 5. But it was in the spring of that year that we won our greatest victory by carrying off the honors in the class track meet with an overwhelming majority.The memory of our Sophomore year is still fresh in the minds of the students, for who does not remember the winners of the cup in inter-class foot-ball, and the moonlight cotillion, with its unique invitations from the "Foremost Class of All?" Then there was that day in May when we sluffed school and built the big white " '07" on the mountain side.And now we are Juniors. We have given a "J. Prom." which made last year's Juniors open their eyes in wonder, and which filled the heart of the wily Soph, with envy and despair.The '07's have a good representation in all student activities. In foot-ball, Pitt, Bennion, Moore, Varley and Scranton have won their block U, and Bennion is next year's foot-ball captain; while on track, Bennion captained last year's team. Speedy "Fuzzy" Moore is his successor for this year, and Dale Pitt has made a name for himself as a distance runner.In Dramatics, Hart, Mifflin and Scott have been prominent for two years, and Miss Farnsworth, one of the three '07 girls, has won decided success in the last play. J. C. Brown, better known as "Jocko," has been Secretary, Treasurer and President of the Associated Students, and is at present our yell leader.To you, Freshies, Sophs and exalted Seniors, this little review may sound conceited, but it is the sentiment of this class. You would call us conceited any way, so we might as well live up to it. For three years we have worked side by side, faced the wrath of discipline committee and of irate professors, together; so it is only natural that we should think the present Juniors the "Foremost" class in college, for-We may not know much Latin, Electricity or such; We've all flunked in Mechanics, And know very little Dutch; But if you want some live ones For a little prank or two, You'll find the naughty seven's Will-stand-by-you.5<</descri> <creato> |
