And there are so many things l would say If I only knew how. First, l would warn all you who are just beginning,- As l myself was warned- To make the most of every moment, Since it comes not back again. And you will heed it not at all- Just as l did! Ancl then l would urge you who are leaving, All laurel-crowned and ivy-wreathed with marks of honor, To be very loyal, as l am sure you are. For your school and my school can only stand As you and I place herg if we lift her up she will be exalted: . Forgotten by us, she will sink down and be forgotten by others. . ln our love, she will Hourishg By our loyalty she must be supported And when time has made it fifty years instead of ten May she be as proud of us, as we of her! United we stand-dividecl we fall! That is my greeting to Nineteen Seventeen. ' OPHELIA A. SELPH, 'l2. Page eighteen

How time flies! It seems only yesterday that I first entered T. C., the very day her doors were opened, y When we look back over these ten et here we are cele- brating her tenth anniversary. t we have accomplished, I think we have reason to thank C-od and take courage. But there is so much more that T. C. i in a we, her daughters, can do for our Alma Mater. s, er, and we should strive ank of educational institutions in the .years and see wha large measure, what her students make h to keep her in the front r South. ' We, of the Class of 1912, have reason to be proud of the fact d b T. C. All of you that we received the first degrees grante y cannot feel just the same pride, but as you help T. C. to grow and enlarge her sphere of usefulness, you can be proud that you had a share in making such a college: and when you go out into the ' ' F l b world as doctors, lawyers, teachers and wives, you can a so e Pave .sevcnlccn ,,,.' f,- .... ,, X., E preachers, preaching the doctrine of Christian education-a doc- trine which is becoming more popular these days than it was even . C. was born. We, who have had the privilege of attending T. C., and coming in close contact with her cultured, Christian teachers, who have had so large a share in shaping our ideals of life, should covet such a privilege for our ten years ago, when T friends. Let us remember our motto, 'LWhe1'e there is no vision the people perishf, and let us pass the vision on to others who are hungering and thirsting after knowledge. NVith a heart full of love for Tennessee College, and a prayer in my heart that we may all keep her image bright in our hearts and let her influence go out through our lives.
