memory's sake. Most of us cut out the crowns with the buttons, no matter what
d the color, and stowed them away for places in our scrapbooks. The remainder we i
Ea offered up in the sacrifice. We were proud and yet a little mournful as we fell into i
1 line that evening and started the long march to "Sleepy Hollow." Proud that we
were to be sophomores; mournful that those happy freshman days were fast drawing
to a close. Before us was a line three years long. Would we ever reach the end?
Huge was the fire, and the strange shadows cast by the flames gave the whole scene
a weird setting. We heard the speakers admonish us to be careful as to what we
h should and should not do the three remaining years of our course. As to whether
1 we profited by these words we cannot say. I fear that we did not, for, sad but true,
some sat with us around that fire that are not with the class today. Some left for i
one reason, others another. Not all were bad.
i Those of us who did march in the long line, who added our contribution of
grey cloth to the fire, and later paraded the streets as sophomores, look back and
think that "Cap Night" of the year 1907 was truly a glorious ending of the freshman days of the class of 1910.
