ur class was a star on thestrong team last fall and we had four men on the famous 09 baseball team. Wiiththe advent of this class into O. U. history the academy chicken fry originated andeach year since we have removed an unselfish number of young poultry from thetemptations and vicissitudes of this present life. The glorious moonlight nightsspent in the preparation and mastication of that much relished fowl will linger inour memories for years to come. But we must hasten on. In the class room we are a constellation; in oratory, acongress and parliment combined; in athletics, a Grecian foot race and wrestlingmatch. We are proud of our class and justly so.
