£a - Revile - 1922 Senior (Tlass Ihistor? The history of the class of 1922 is just like the history of all classes, a review of four years of college life. However, we feel that we have certain traits of character that will distinguish us from other classes. YVe want vou to feel that we are all members of one body, working under the Gold and Black. We entered college in 1918, the first class to enter Birmingham-Southern College after its formation by the union of Southern University and Birmingham College. ' We were filled with high ambitions and lofty hopes, but we found one class that was not favorable to us. They bestowed upon us the odious name of rats, and made us wear green ribbons. We survived ratting season, quit the green to don the khaki. S. A. T. C. uniforms which were issued. We drilled and hiked, rose at unearthly hours with a great desire to murder the bugler. After this, some of us fell by the wayside. Those that were left settled down to work in earnest. The scholarship medal was won by one of our numbers that year. Xot only in the class-room but on the athletic field we won fame. We furnished two-thirds of the football squad, one-half the baseball squad and a number of the basket- ball and track squads. We stood by our teams and cheered M:hem on to victory. As Sophomores, we were represented on the athletic field, having more men on the varsity team than any other class. Almost one-third of the Glee Club was composed m. our men. We not only made a name on the athletic field, but we made a record ' in the class room by having the highest average scholarship, and by winning the scholarship medal. As Juniors we stood- by our standard and kept up the pace we had set as freshmen. We began to feel the responsibility of our mission, and we toiled harder than ever. Today we stand on the platform, at the top of the mountain of knowledge. We have fought a good fight, we have kept the faith. This year marks a new era in our history and in the history of the college. Under a new and able Presi- dent, the college has been admitted into the American Association of Colleges. e have made a record for ourselves, but whatever praise or honor shall be ours, the glory belongs to our Alma Mater, and we have learned that evervthing worth while in life must be done Pro Cristo et Republica.
