As all students are aware, F!rosh Week tends to involve imposing certain indignities on the incoming f!rosh | As all students are aware, F!rosh Week tends to involve imposing certain indignities on the incoming f!rosh. This was even truer in the ancient past than it is today, but nevertheless, F!rosh Leedurs seldom had much difficulty keeping the new f!rosh in line.

For those who know their history, this class began their Skule careers in the 1919-1920 skule year, immediately after the First World War. Not surprisingly, this class was composed overwhelmingly of former army, navy and air force servicemen. The First Year President himself had been a front-line infantry officer, and he decided that this time, the f!rosh would reverse things and initiate the leedurs. When his class was asked to present themselves at the old gymnasium behind North House to be initiated, the rebellion began. Being the experienced officer he was, he quickly assembled a corps of followers and organized them along military lines. | For those who know their history, this class began their Skule careers in the 1919-1920 skule year, immediately after the First World War.
