1s with the fee1ing of anxiet) occasions

usual to such

that the r900 Oracle Board

offers

as the result of its efforts this 34th vol u me of the college annual, the l ast of the centur).

The book is

destined to fall into the h ands of se eral classes of readers, no two of which peruse its pages with the same end in

iew.

To the trustees it has one meaning to the faculty another ¡ the alumni enjoy certain

portions,

the undergraduates

entirely different ones. Our aim h as been to afford to each reader as much of peculiar interest to him as the l imitations of such a publication al low.

If this end is secured, '' e sh a11 feel

ampl) repaid for our efforts to maintain the h igh stand­ ard of the O racle.

If A u thouy Hope had uot w ritten a sequel to his Prisoner of Zenda, we "-ould say that another year had come around bringing with it another rose to Rudolph and making us Juniors, but since that popular author has poi.led our happy thought suffic i t _,-._,e are at the ud of our J un ior year. That is to say, we carry our­ s lves with the eas and grace of the upper class men , tal without referring to exams, etc . , in short ·we are a pleasure to ou: sel s and trust

tllat others appreciate us. I n spite of the wars going on i n the world o u r o w n fighting record still holds a prominent place in his­ tory. Repetition gives the printer a liriug, so we will repeat what we

have accomplished. As freshmen we showed our sterling worth and the many times we tood our ground are beyond counting. As Sophomores we administered the rod i n a fatherly and benevolent manner and for the fir t time in the history of the college Justice was done to the wr tchedly ignorant. \Ve have always fought hard to bring about Peace. Thi present y ar open d with a brilliant campaign in which we taught the newly made "sophs" that we till have the welfare of the unfortunate at heart. The C lass has a most em·iable position i.u athletics, proved by the fact that the college looked to us for captains i n baseball, football and basketball i n this our J unior year and that we have always had a larger number than our share on the differ u t squads. In the realm of music a member of the class is leader of the mandolin club and manager of the combin d organizations and other Juniors are members of the clubs. The revival of dramatics in the college i s entirely due to us, and i n the cast of eleven parts, four of the leading characters wer.e assumed by members of 1 90 r . The college weekly is at present dited by one of our n umber and another is the able President of the Athletic Association. ociall · the cla s i a great benefit to the colleo-e. The series of assemblies given the last winter wa principally due to the work of Juniors and the J u n ior Promenade was u n ­ questionably the most succes f u l function eyer presented b y a Junior class at Colby. Per­ haps it may be well to quote the opinion of Doctor Elder in regard to onrselve!l: 'You ' re not bad enough to be scolded . ' ' Since it eems the co-ords are a future here, w e repeat the remarks o f a former his­ torian : "The I<JOI Co-ord is all right," and we remember with pleasure the good times the ladies have given u s and we d ri n k their health joyfully. \Ye are the second large t class i n college, w e do our work hard as i t is with­ out grumbling and our motto i.s still " Live and Let Live . " We have our Y. M . C . A . men and others, but Harmonr is frequently with u s and our constant toast is to Colby, the tie that binds.

Freshman History. MEN. From the remotest ages of antiquity, the natural tendency of every nation , state and tribe, has been to progress, and from that very fact it has be n an essen­ tially easy and agreeable task to write the history of such a people. But since the Freshman class in Colby, has failed to show the slightest sign of any sort of development or advancement, the work of attempting to write its history i s an exceedingly thank less and undesirable tas k . \Vhen t h e pitiable and unsightly array of greenies which make u p the Freshman aggregation , landed on the campus, everybody saw that they were miserably handicapped by rature but nobody supposed that thi s u g l y and misshapen mass would retain all i t s chaotic characteristics for the entire year, nor that the historian would be compelled to draw upon his imagination, until, like Darwin h e might evolve from the mass of unorganized matter something he could call a man . In fact, they have, as yet, learned but one lesson well, and that is, that the will of the Sophomore is law. Not a sinoJe praiseworthy deed have they done, either collectively or individually. To be sure, two or three of the aggregation have attained a sort of puerile proficiency, in lines peculiar to themselves, but these are hardly worth chroniclino- in an article intended for the perusal of an intelligent public. \\"illiam Hawes has made for h imself, a name as au unequalled all-around athlete,-with his mouth . Baby Steams has secured quite a reputation among the co-ords, and Sir Isaac \i\Tarts i s conceded by all to be class poet-laureate, by reason of his weekly effusions i n the T uants' Harbor Squash Vine, the newspaper of his native town . Clark and 'tcward, the corpulent boys are o-radually learning to manipulate their numerous avoirdupois upon the street in such a way as not to offend those "'"hom they chance to meet, and D. Avenport Cox i s gaiuing notoriety as a philosophical diplomat, to a deo-ree not dreamed of even by those who haye heard bis native eloquence ring through the halls and bills of Hebro n . It seems t o h a v e been by a special dispen ation of Providence that t h e aggregation t o w h o m t h i s pao-e i s devoted, w a s bunched together a u d s e n t t o college, at a time w h e n the Sophomoric rites and ceremonies were presided oyer by such an efficient and able body of men as are found in the C lass of 1 902 . If anything is ever made of the Freshmeu, it will be due to the unti ring and indefatigabJ e efforts of the Sophomore class i n holding in check the wildmen entrusted to its care and thus maintainino- colleo-e law and order. I t i s devoutly to be hoped that Aroostook, Piscataquis and Oxford, as well as the other less-ciYilized outlayiuo- districts, have sent all the scum and chaff of their coll giate possi­ bilities to Colby iu the C lass of 1 903 aud that next Septemb r, our belov d institution may be fayored by a class of Freshmen, \vith that stamp of excellence and superiority which always characterizes the even-year classes.

Referring to hi compass, he foun d that i t would not \\·ork. Climbing a t ree, he could s e no fam i l ia r landmark. ' triking out i n the probable di rection of camp, he was rewarded by coming to someone's t rack which, w ith a l ight heart, he proceeded to follow. The track wo. soon j oined by a econd pair of footprints and Charlie felt he must be near the pond. omething about a certain t ree near by seemed familiar. I t seemed as though he pas ed that t ree only a few moments before and all in a t1a.;h came the startl ing reali zation that he \\·a following h i s o w n footsteps, arou nd a n d around i n a circle. T h e n t h e dismal truth that he ' as lo t forced it.;elf upon h i m and unless help came from out ide he must spend the night in the woods. Again and aga111 h e fi red his rifle and vainly l istened for some answering shot. Then gathering such wood as he coul d find he attempted to kindle a fire but everyth ing was so ' et that this \ as i mpossible. Realizing that w t a he wa he mu t keep moving or freeze, he selected a comparatively level pot between two trees and after wringing his stockings as dry as po.3sible he commenced his weary march. The snow, ' hich at fi rst covered his path oon wore away the night shut down and ave tor the " ind, wl11ch "·as blo\\·ing colder now, and the t ramp­ tramp-tramp-as Charlie moved back and forth, all was still. *

As the afternoon drew toward n ight, the other boys gat hered at the boat · for it had been decided by all to meet there at three o'clock. tu rt and Charlie had even j oked about their experience on Friday night and decided once wa enough for them. A fter waiting a reasonable time the three cro ed to camp bel ieving that Charlie would soon appear and ignal to them. oon a fter they reached camp Sturt's brother, who had been unable to come i n w ith the boy Friday came a round the corner of the cabin and received a " arm greeting from all. l most h i fi rst words \ ere, ' ' A re you fellow all afe i n camp ?" Learning that Charlie had not yet appeared ; w ithout \Yaiting to change hi - clothing for he also had been hunting during the day he took the boat and cro ing the pond began firing his rifle and calling, but no Charlie. Rowing farther along he fired and called until the darknes and i ncreasing \Yind made it impo· ible to remain longer upon the lake. Returning to camp the feeli ngs of the boy cannot be described as they realized that Charl ie \\·a either h u rt or Io t and that owing to the darkness and wind they coul d not o·o to h i a..:;sistance. 161

One of the most noticeable characteri tics of this oro-anization i the deep reverence for rel igious matters which seems to possess all its member . ttend­ ance at such trivial exercises as chapel and unda) morning worshit is purely voluntary, but nothing will excuse a member from Sunday evening attendance. n interesting fact which " Teddy" !fas called to our attention is that the publ ic reports of Kappa Kappa Kappa men are ah ays filled out in the following manner : Number of Sundays in the term . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 Attending church o f m y girl's electio n . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 3 t imes. o times.

While prescribing no creed for its members, the fraternity places special stress upon certain portions of the holy writ. mong others may be mentioned the fi rst psalm ,-or rather the following modernized version of that beautiful piece of versification . I. Bies ed is the student that walketh not in the coun sel of the benedictine, but understandeth the way of the Dean , and sitteth in the hammock ' i th the co-ord. 2. For his delight is i n the pre ence of the co-orcl and in her wake doth he follow day and night. 3 . And he shall be like a t ree planted under the w indows of Ladies' Hall , that shall w itness the way of the co-ord and profit thereby. H i s pull also shall not depart from him, an d what oever he cloeth shall prosper. 4. They who scoff at the co-ord are not so but a re l ike the farmer who hails from the rurals. 5 . Therefore the latter shall not staud in the world, nor yet be blessed ' ith a happy homestead . 6. For the world knoweth the way of the husband, but the way of the unwedded shall perish.

AND TH E " LEAr S . " )

+++ ' Twas a pleasant April Saturday and the baseball cran k s all came From from far and near to see the kids try to play the national game. The co-ords crowded the o-rand stand pews, and stifled an inward groan, \ hen Long came out with his Irish grin, and "Craw" with his megaphone. A s the clock on Silas' mantel struck twenty minutes of three, The Freshman gang came on the turf, a wondrous sight to see : ome had blue sweaters, some had red some sported fancy hose, \Vhile " Doc" Steward wore his n ic e soft hat and a new spring suit of clothes. The various players who composed the teams that were to play Had been chosen on the day before in a rather ingenious way. The candidates were all drawn up-a line of vi id greenA nd each in turn had his carcass weighed by the latest slot machine. The heaviest men were styled the " Fats," the lighest were the ' Lean � , " A n d many sought t o gain a place b y s l y , deceitful means ; Paine tried in vain to hold his a-as and thus reduce his weight, Pierce stuffed his stomach ' ith restaurant grub, but shared a simil ar fate. ome trouble was experienced, as the writer has lately learned, In finding an umpire strictly fair and just to all concerned. At last they agreed on Billy Hawe , who could not be unfair if he tried, A s he k new too little about the game to favor either side. The fats were the first to take the field, and the spectators saw at a glance From the way in which they started out that the lean men had no chance. mut spat on his glove and rubbed it in, and " Cupid ' played way bac k , Prepared t o catch any kind o f a fly in side t h e cinder tra c k . B u t t h e fearless players of lighter build refused t o be dismayed ; They faced Tommy's curves in a way to win the shyest freshman maid. The fat men watched the scores come in and we can !!Uess their thought As they breathlessly shao-ged the three base hits of Prexy and Isaac \ atts. The game ran on for some four hours and as many innings were played, The scorer wore three pencils out, recording the errors made. From base to base, on every side, a well-worn track was trod, ¡which "Boot' " compared to the cow-paths he had seen on the Cornville sod. To give, however, a full account of this contest of strength and skill \V"ould require more space than this book contains, and daunt the readiest quill .

When it became noised about that boating on the

sibly be p rohibited, a mass-meeting of the ladies of the college wa called . forth­ " i th and the following petition was dra\ n up after a heated discussion . To t h e H o n o rable Mayor a n d

ity Fath ers of Water,ui!le :

We, the ' omen of Colby College, respectfully and humbly pra

your rever­ end board not to take away from u the privilege of boating upon the placid waters of the

fessalowkee.

Such action would seriou ly inj u re our prospects for the

future and m ight prevent us from ever attaining the supreme object for which many of us are here-that of getting engaged. The cene of nearly all college engagements is laid on the quiet bosom of that seclu ded stream. By taking away uch an opportunity as is offered for bri nging the young men to our feet by the aid of the witching l ight of the moon and the plashing o f the l impid \: ater against the boat, you would be dooming a whole race of innocent co-ordhood to pine away i n the fond regrets and

ain fancies of

single cussedness. The fame of the M essalonskee has spread far and w ide and is a great factor in bringing co-ords to Colby.

So, bel ieving that you have the intere ts of the leave our fate i n your

college and the fai r ( ?) co-ord at heart, we prayerfull

The one with which we have to deal comes as an oasis i n a desert of inactivity, and a s such deserves to be perpetuated by due record in the O racle. The participant in this thrillino· combat were none other than " Rabbit ' Dear­ born and 1y neph " , Mr. Mioocly." The scene was the Kennebec river, the occa ion an exciting polo game i n midwinter.

In the Public Eye.

Pen Pictures of Famous "Men of the Hour." Leon G. Sa u n ders is the fi rst to which your attention is called and to say that he posse ses qual ifications wh ich render h im eminently fit to head the list, \\ ould be to put it very, ery mildly. If not the only thing that e er happened, he i s certainly t h e greatest thing that ever happened. He hails from Mas achusetts­ from Andover, we'll have you understand-and in consequence has a w holesome contempt for M aine and all her sons. He is an athlete of extraordinary, uperior, uncommon pre-eminent, u rpa ing, surprisino-, astounding amazing and unque tioned ability. His social pro'v\ ess is ' itne sed by the w ay in 'vhich t he fair maidens of the college seek to gain hi favor. In general, he may be t ruly called the warmest article of human merchandi e the closing century has produced . L o u is Steams is an roostocrat ,vho has a fairly good opinion of him elf . and seems to think all others should do l ikewise. H e i s a hand ome boy , and ha a striking presence. He stands erect,-so e rect, in fact . that oftentimes he fail to recognize his acquaintances. H e is a great fa orite with the ladie and ' e have som� fears lest too much attention will make the dear boy vain . Robert A . Ba/wman is custodian of the college morals. So hea ily does the burden of hi varied tasks rest upon his ) out h fu l b rain that h i hea I i already bowed ,-not forward, as in ordinary cases of premature age but to one ide,­ a phenomenon which give him a distinguished air. A 11gie Goodi • i n stands pre-eminent in l iterar ' circles as a ma ·ter of linguistic accuracy. H e is be) ond doubt the highest authority on redundant . tautological , circumlocuitous phraseology since th time of Glidden . To characterize hi tyle of speech as Bostonian would be to fall far hort of giving the slighte t idea of the erbal precision and extensi' e poly yllabic vocabulary w i th which he com­ mands the a\\ e of the fre hman. the respect of his cla smates the envy of the upper classmen the wor hip of the fair ex, and the favor o f the faculty.
