In the fall of 1 9 1 6 a band of timid Fre hmen, forty or more

trong, entered the wal l of ol d Colby. \\ armly welcomed, we \\ ere heltered from all harm for the fir t week. oon, however, " Ph i Ch i ' ound d and her command had to be ol eyed. "Bloody Monda ' with all it" proverbial terror came, but we quite nj oyed the occa ion and fai rly brought di may to the h art of 1 9 1 9 when we re fu ed to inO' thei r prai e . To wear tho e h igh O'reen hat. wa enj oyable, and how wri;>tched the ophomore becam 'd1en they found that they were o becom ing. So i homor rule wer on for ome time. but we cannot ay that they were en forced very capably. for we can recal l very ea ily eYeral in tance of clever e cape . Did we have a banquet ? \\ . ell, I O'Ue we did. How un u pecti ng tho e Sophomore were when \Ye auntered lei urely out of Fo. H al l in mal l O'roups. \Ve cleverly e caped their ' iO'ilant eye� and arrived at nion H al l i n ugu ta without being captured. \Ve banqueted to our heart ' cont nt alonO' with ome of our J un ior friend�, \Yhile the Sophomore were obl iged to rely upon their own ( ?) re. ource for "eat . " B u t t h e heights of our j oy were reach d when Colby Day came, which proved so gloriou for u and o fatefu l for r 9 1 9. On that day amid the ringinO' cheer of our J un ior friends and our own l ittle band and ti mu lated by the sight of that banner, our ba ]-:.etbal l team won f rom the Sophomores with a core of 30 to 5 . How old Fo H al l did ring with the note of " Ph i Chi ," a swelling from the th roat of proud Fre hmen. A number of O'ood things happened to Colby during our fi r t year. Colby captured the footbal l champion h i 1 . a tudent Government vva launched and the Literary Society was organized. \Ve returned for our Sor homore year with our numbers omewhat dimin ew cares and difficulties awaited u and we were con fronted by the i hed. weari ome ta k of training sixty Freshmen for Colby' rank . Such f resh recruits were never found be fore. \\ e were delight fully entertained on "Bloody Monday" by thei r ongs and dances and e�en the Juniors were unable to protect them. We had cause to rej oice when we heard their baby voice cheering 1 920. They are beginning now to realize their i n feriority, and i nstead of being bl uster ing and boa t f ul they are beginninO' to . how ome mode t and retiring t rait . 'vVe urel y hope that our labor has not been in vain . Thu ·we bring to a cl ose those fi r t two years o f o u r college cour e , regret ting that they are gone but guided by them a an incent ive, we hope to pre on through the years to come . making them a active and u e fu l a po ible. 74

Th mi t that I had not iced in tl1e vening had now developed into uch a th ick , aray f og that I could ee in no direction more than a few feet. What cour e I wa pur u i ng or whither it would take me I had no way of knowi ng. Ju t a I wa beainnina to wonder how much longer I would tay afloat, a huae hape loom d up be fore me-long, and low and bbck. Be it f riend or foe. I knew not.

Arltnowlehgment The drawings of a college publication are its most distinctive feature. The Editor feels that the work of the A rt Editress, Miss Goodhue, is worthy of m uch commend a tion. To her and to all those who contributed drawings the Editor expresses his appreciating thanks. Whatever of accuracy and care there may be in this book is due to the .efforts of the associate editors. For their painstaking and perhaps wearisome labors the Editor is very grateful, especially to those who volu nteered to do more than was asked of them. The manager and his assistant have done a great dea l of hard work. On them is laid the financial bw"den and to them is due financial success. At the las t proof-reading it was necessary to delete some of the literary material to keep within the limits of expense. Professor Libby and Professor Crowell have done m u ch to help in the collection of essf!ntial material. Pro fessor Franklin was of inestimable aid in advice and sug gestions in connection with the Literary Department. Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Small kindly lent photographs from which many cu ts were made. To these, to the literary contribu tors, and to all others who have in any way helped i n the pu blication of this Oracle, the Editor is than kfu l . 1 98
