Senior Class History |X September the thinl, 1910, we, the class of ' 14, arrived on the hill with such a feeling as only Freshmen can es:perience — ■ strange, bewildered and worst of all — really lost. Of course, you already have a mental picture of us as a whole — the word Freshman implies all, and we, I can assure you. lived up to the very letter of the term. For the first few days we heard of things that before we reached this clime had not even invaded our most unheard-of dreams. Indeed the realization was quite different from our anticipation. We were a conservative set and it was not vmtil our Sophomore vrar that we organized the class. We waited to see who would still be in rank the following year ; for as you know there is a great sifting out for various reasons. When we organized in our Sophomore year, our number was about thirty, and a wiser, more sophisticated crowd you could hardly find. We began in earnest and with our motto, nihil nisi optimum we have ever tried to realize its meaning: and for following years nothing but the best has been the slogan of our class. From the very first the members have taken a decided interest in all phases of college life. In those organizations tending toward the development of the moral and spiritual side of life we have taken our part. Also in that field which means so much in college life — athletics — we were not wanting for men. In all kinds of sport we were well represented. We lived through the year just as all Sophomores do. We felt very much the same as is the Sophomore ' s opinion of himself — that is, wise and important. We too soon may have forgotten that the past year witnessed us as Freshmen in the true sense of the word and heaped upon the lower class advice that only the experienced should give. But these traits in our third year gave way to sober, level-headed juniority. We now began to get a glimpse of ourselves as we appeared to others. ' Twas now that we strove to be rather than to seem. This year was undoubtedly one of the happiest. It was in this year that we had the great pleasure and privilege of entertaining that dignified and austere body — the Seniors. Nothing could have made us realize more fully that we were part of the college than to have our names conected in this way with the Seniors. Again we had this satisfying sen- sation when in the Junior-Senior debate, much to the dejection of our opponents, the debate was won by the negative — our side. In the following fall only sixteen of our number came back to the old oak grove to still pursue for the few remaining riionths, the long-sought-for diploma. At last we are Seniors, but instead of feeling our importance and that we are nearing the close of our school days, we realize more than ever that it is just the beginning and that we are soon to say good-bye to our old .-Mma Mater; that we are to enter into that broader and higher school of life — experience.
