12 THE McKENDREAN 1920 Seniors WE are none the worse, although we are a mixed-up outfit. To begin with, and speaking chronologically, the Rawlings twins were Fresh- men in the fall of 1914. Laird, Bower and Tucker began their collegiate career in 1915. McClure joined us as a Senior, coming from Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida. Of the original class of ' 20 five remain — Campie, who takes honors this year; Bennie Hall, Dutch Kraemer, the foot- light favorite, and the gigglin ' Neuling twins. War, famine and pestilence have played havoc with our ranks. Once we were mighty in numbers ; new we boast only the might of quality. Some now occupy the graves of heroes ; others offered themselves for the same sacrifice; still others have elected to complete their college course elsewhere. But we. the pious remnant, still feel that should our mantle of dignity and knowledge fall upon the struggling Juniors, they need have no fear in assum- ing the responsibilities that the coming year holds for them. We are deeply appreciative of the faithful and untiring efforts of the faculty to make less rocky our path to knowledge. We thank the kind friends who have made our sojourn on this historic campus pleasant. We are not prone to take ourselves too seriously, but it is our sincere hope that when we are gone the old institution, whose burdens we have borne for so many years, will not fall into utter ruin.
