 The Aest Interesting event in the l Spripg if Ere shman year. was the cir GUS patSlde Scene Temple Street. Time, a bright Spring day, Dramatis per sorae, lCack Hanley. A German band ! playing in front of 411 Temple street, trying to3lull back to sleep suddenly Cack's fertile brain attempts to mark. Why not get this band to head Fresh. procession to the circus. Happy thought! Rumor to the effect of a pa rade began to circulate, and soon Freshmen appeared in herds.
 Cack and Cherub Holloway and the band were in front. It was hard to tell which made the most noise, Cherub or the band, but we will give the benefit of the doubt to the band. More about | Cherub later, when we reach the circus grounds. Out Whalley avenue we went ploughing through the mud and water | for it. was raining now, and we soon ar rived at the circus grounds. It was with much difficulty that we obtained any tickets, for Messrs. Barnum & Bailey were bit skeptical about the progress of the show, when they laid eyes on us. But after promises to be good, we were allowed to enter the sacred precincts.
 After the circus was over, and while we were walking out, there was cry of Look, look! Get on to Chuck Bal lard" And after looking, we saw Chuck flirting with the Snake Char mer, while Bob Meacham was doing the barking. When we left Chuck and Bob were talking with big fat man in a plaid waistcoat.

 'GAnd Bows team won?" you ask. Well, Bows team certainly did. With Gil and Chape and Bow what true Elite or Eli team could lose that year? Ann so-.well, there is an end to everything and you may be pleased to know that now at last the moment for which you sighed has arrived--the first chapter of l our annals is closed--the history of Freshman Year is over thank you.
 The history of junior year, given by 1 John A. Baker, was as follows: Mir. Bakers History. The frolicsome irresponsible days of our youth, when as care-free freshmen We made the tenements of Temple street red with cries of "Fire" and hideous with the song of the alarm and despair through the New Haven police force and kept the dropping com | mittee of the faculty working longer than the union allows have been paint ed for you by our musical and literary genius who has just taken his seat It Is my part to lead you through the less adventurous course of our Junior year, to tell in slightly more serious vein of the solid achievements of our class, and 'to prepare you in some way for the dissertation upon Senior year, the pro- duct of the massive brain of the exalt- ed chairman of our committee, which guarantee to make tears flow as freely as the keg spigot of a rush night.
 Before the main body of our class re- turn from It's scattered condition over the American continent, group of un- fortunates known as the Junior survey DTS, brown of face and arm, rivaling Alphabetical Browne and Louie Linder Porteous in the exactness of their at- tire, where the dark mysteries of chain ing. which is not done with chain at all, were expounded to their simple, child-like minds. Our sole recreation was the daily baseball game between the mining and civil engineers. In the evenings we whiled away the time, telling that oft-repated tale of how Harris Hammond was caught in the pig pen, and the other half forgotten story of Johnnie George. Johnnie George, ladies, would have you know, is one of Yales characters. Miltons phrase, Buxom, blithe and debonier, de- scribes him well. It speaks volumes for the studious atmosphere of 1907 that Johnnie Is to graduate with us, for he has pursued the pigskin and the sheep skin in nearly every Shelf class of the twentieth century
 Then came hearty greetings of old friends and the college year in more ways than one began with a rush. Old 1907 s. came out on top, as usual. It is a time honored custom of class day historians to go into every minute de- tail of Shelf. rushes. And since MT. Bartholomew has given a quite sufil- cient idea of the general moistness of the atmosphere at Shelf rush, I beg your permission to treat that wonderful affair in the fall of 1906, by the method of Absent Treatment" used so suc- cessful by one of my distinguished rel atives.
