UPIDEE

Today, tonight, and tomorrow morning the Freshmen will hold a celebration. Since they are the only class to be blessed with what is properly termed a "jubilee" the Juniors having only held a "dance", and the later Senior party being a mere "spread"--they enjoy a unique privilege and responsibility, and to them the old verse concerning gathering of roses applies. But the most important consideration, for the future at least, is the underlying one of responsibility. For roses and Jubilees in the University are not hardy perennials.

But this evening's jubilee will be more than a celebration, pure and simple it will be the last meeting of the class of 1926 as Freshmen. It will be a kind of gathering of the clans, and from the time that the first hall chorus raises its voice, till the end of the dancing at two o'clock in the morning, it will be wholly a class affair. The singing competition in itself is a means towards accomplishing, class unity for who is there who has ever lived in the Freshman Dormitories who does not feel his heart swell at the thought of his hall's tremendous victories in singing such songs as the "Pilgrims' Chorus" and "Upidee"! Nevertheless, though one hall win the singing competition more often than the others, the end is view is always the same, and is usually successfully accomplished. For it is concerned both with the gathering of the class, and, subsequently, with their gathering of the roses.
