SENIOR POERI A SONG OF YOUTH Oh its good to be young, and its good to be strong, And its good to have blood warm and red, And its good start with a song in the heart On the long white road ahead! Oh we ' re young and we ' re strong, there ' s a lilt in our song And the breezes of May blow ' round us. And our eyes are bright with a hopeful light, For we ' ve a strong faith to guide us. Oh we ' ve faith in ourselves and faith in man And faith in Journey ' s End, And we ' ll live and love and we ' ll hope and be strong And to man we ' ll be a friend. So When dark is the day, and rough the way, A strong young arm we ' ll lend, For we ' ve faith in ourselves and faith in man And faith in Journey ' s End, Oh its good to be young and its good to be strong, And its good to have blood warm and red. And its good to start with a song in the heart On the long white road ahead! — L. G. G. 21

HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS As the Seniors of 1918 pause for a moment, before taking leave of the old hill, to look back upon the years that are gone, there is a pride that comes to every heart, a merit that lives not so much in honors received or the succsses won, but in the true worth and ability of each member of the class. The printed page of results cannot tell the whole of the story. The memory of a class life shaken by dis- apointments but ever reverting to the struggle; the recol- lections of a thousand bitter and happy moments, testing and proving the friendship of classmates, of seconds of discord and years of harmony — these things must remain ever the cherished secret of those who suffered and triumphed in them. Chance has been very kind to the class of 1918. To have called so many classmates to the war is to a large degree compensated by having placed so much talent in one class. Manifestly the Seniors have formed a class of action as well as of talent. Activities. The weekly paper of the college, The Highland Echo , had for its editor, first. Turner, later Taylor, and Scruggs was manager. The class of ' 18 published the annual for the Senior Class of last year. Miss Knapp was editor and Truner manager. Anderson and Scruggs are editor and manager for the record book of 1918, A number of oratorical contests have been won by Seniors. Miss Simpson won the State Prohibition contest. The intercollegiate debaters from the senior class are: Williams, Turner, Logan, Cooper, Lloyd and Dawson. Five of the Varsity Eleven this year were Seniors: Bryson, Cooper, Lloyd, Scruggs, and Garrison, The mana- ger and captain of the basketball team was Garrison. Five of the baseball nine were: Scruggs, Bryson, Coop- er, Lloyd and Dawson, Varsity Tennis men were: Lloyd and Dawson, In 1915 the class furnished a twelve piece orchestra. This year, the Senior Mixed Quartet has given concerts in Tennessee and adjoining states for the benefit of the war relief funds. The personel is as follows: Margaret Bassett, soprano; Josephine Knapp, alto; Roy Anderson, tenor; and Horace Dawson, bass. Misses Genieveve Gib- son and Mary Miles are popular soloists on the hill . The class of ' 18 has done its part for the cause of humanity. It has sent ten splendid specimens of young manhood to hunt the Huns until peace is restored and 22
