After some debating, the Seniors, for so they were, decided upon a leader, and with the purpose, as stated by the President in his eavly speeches, to be a friend of everybody, they set out on new conquests. Although from eight States and many different sections, they were veterans, with many victories behind them; so they were quickly welded into a united body, ready to begin an offensive against the strongholds of knowledge. The story of the campaign is one of victory and honor. With their col- ors of Black and Gold before them and their motto, ‘“Be Squave,” fixed in their hearts, the Seniors set out to win in everything. With the proud record of the previous years, nothing less could be expected but that the Seniors lead in every endeavor. In athletics the Seniors became the bas- ket-ball champions of the school, also supplying a majority of boys and girls for the society teams. In every athletic contest the Seniors supplied more than their quota of participants. As in athletics, so in literary events, the Seniors have swept all before them. The winner of the Found- er’s Day oratorical contest was a Senior, who had to win from two other Seniors. They furnished more college debaters than any other class. In superintending the Halloween entertainment they made a notable success. Many artists and musicians were among their number; so the regular pro- grams were always replete with music, songs, and readings. Half of the class made the honor roll regularly. The Seniors were proud to have a third of their number working their way. In the annual popularity con- test the Seniors won sixteen first and second places in twenty events, boast- ing the prettiest girl, best all-around student, most popular boy, neatest girl, biggest talker, most talented, most modest girl, best girl athlete. With such a record behind them, the Seniors feel sure that they will be able to say on leaving these halls: ““‘We came, we saw, we conquered.”’ However great past records may be, the class realizes that it must con- tinue the good fight before the goal can be attained. When the last battle has been fought and the class disbanded, we realize that the real fight has just begun, that all life is before us; but with a confidence born of previous conflicts, with hard work, and the watchful guidance of our teachers, we hope to develop fully into useful men and women, worthy of the crown of life.
