j Senior Class History OUR years ago we assembled for the first time on Sunshine Slopes, inno- cent, ignorant, verdant Freshmen. Today we stand upon the lofty pedestal of seniority, almost prepared to step forth into the world as college men and college graduates. What a vast difference in our feeling s then and now! As Rats we had to bear the multiplex machinations of overbearing and dominant upper-classmen. It was then that determination and a fight- ing spirit were inculcated in our minds, and so when we became Sophomores we swore with mighty terror to have vengeance. We swooped down upon the unsuspecting Freshmen and made them feel the weight of the bed slat wielded by our mighty hand. In cur Junior year we began to realize the sacredness of our mission and to turn our attention to loftier pursuits. On the campus, in athletics, in the class room, in love, we were successful, for one of our number left the dormitory to build a cottage for two. The fourth year was the dawn of a new era — the goal of our scholastic attainment. Reduced in numbers, but not in spirit, we are still the busiest class in college, the class that stands for knowledge. We have gone over the top, captured the land of knowl- edge, and are about to hoist our flag. For four years we have fought in an atmosphere surcharged with the smoke of battle and darkened by threatening clouds of doubt and fear. But we are the victors, and the rewards of the fight belong to us. Among us we have seven types of human beings, each with his own individual charac- teristics, but all aiming toward the highest ideals and loftiest achievements in life. In college we have all made names for ourselves, some in athletics, some in the class room, some in society. In life we shall strive toward various goals, and whatever of praise or honor shall be ours, the glory belongs to our Alma Mater. Let us remember that what- ever we achieve in life that is worth while must be pro Chnsto et Republica. We Tip the scale to its highest point We ' re O. K. and never out of joint.
