...rush. But where is '87? Her men extend in a long straggling line for a long mile ahead. What is the matter? Are the Sophomores afraid of their temporal fathers, the Faculty, or of broken heads? We are greeted on every side by taunts and jibes from upper classmen, and even the Freshmen begin to hoot at us. It is unbearable; something must be done. Fifteen or twenty of us get together and shout lustily for '87 and then throw ourselves upon the advancing column; our classmates are now in duty bound to assist us, and soon a big crowd...

He is at his advertising, and this is his way of doing it,-perhaps because he thinks this the most effective way of showing how second-hand clothes may be made to look...
...well attended and well contested, and we hope the class will turn out in a body to witness the sports. Let every freshman do his best in his events. There are many vacancies on the Mott Haven team, which we should like to see filled with lower classmen. We therefore hope that this, the first athletic meeting of '88, will be successful...
