r i istorp of tljc (Class of 1914 Tj OR l:ivs and days I had tlionghl how I should write my class history, for surely I i am no author. One day while sitting and musing a brief review of I In past seemed to float before my eyes. There are very few who have had I he honor of being classified as Freps and very few of us even as Freshmen, although we have all been through the stage that no doubt looked characteristic of the Freshmen. A few of our members arrived here in the spring term of 11)11. Our class was first organized in November, 11)11. as the •Junior class. We came back in the fall of 11)1 2 and we were classified as Juniors once more, the new course having been established. Hoys have always been at a great premium among us, even when our class was first organized, and we have been gradually losing them, until we have a very small number at the present time, but we prize them very highly, and we are glad to say our girls make up for this loss and have a heavy balance on their side. The girls showed their athletic spirit in the fall of 11)14. by winning glorious victories over their under-classmen in the (iirls' Basketball Tournament. They also defeated them in the indoor baseball games. As the girls’ athletics were abandoned we were unable to continue our good beginning, but I am sure we could have continued our record if we had been given a chance. We did not give a sociable during our Sophomore year, as we could obtain no date. We made our debut as a class during our .Junior year, when we gave our Junior Sociable, which was indeed successful and worthy of our class. The cluipel was gaily decorated with our class colors, purple and gold, and was divided into many stalls, representing an International Volkfest. I.atcr in tin evening we presented “Nan Am burgh’s Menagerie, depicting a typical country circus. Soon June came, and great was the scattcrmcnt of our members when the faculty got through with them. We are the smallest class in number that has graduated at Millcrsville for a number of years, but we arc sure wc aw not lacking in any other respects. The Toiviistonk Board was elected early and has been working all the time. As we have only ten on our board so necessarily we have more to do. — 28 — L

 hi February we made a step in advance of anything held here previously. Sociables being a thing of the past, we ventured upon a semi-formal reception. N e have many reasons to call it a marked success, as it was the first social function of this kind ever attempted. As we approach the end of our work we feel that we have been able to meet the requirements of former classes and more, being the first class graduated under the new course, and we may In looked up to as an example for following classes. And now we are about to separate and go our various ways. We have learned to love dearly every spot connected with M.S. N. S..aud we shall miss her guiding hand.
