UISTOin ' OK SKXIOII ACADKiMK CLASS. T sooiiis as but n day since we the class of ' HJ (Mitcrcd tlic doors of Soiitliwcslerii to take the studies offered to us by tbis institution. P ut, in reality, live lon ? years liav(; ])assed; five years of bard earnest wor-k, in wliicb we liavo met difficulties and luive mastered tliem, and because of liavin mas- tered tliem, we luive become stron ' er in will, in intellect, and in our anil)ition to overconu any obstacles no matter wbat tbey may l)e. For some of us tlie road has been loni; er and I ' ouijlier than for others, but as we approach the end we know full well that it only leads into a much harder one to travel, which in turn, leads us on to a land from which no traveler returns. A mere record of passin,i ' events can scarcely be called history until it is looked at thru the telescope of years; but who can tell but t liat some day this short record may l)e the means of tracing the life history of one of our members who has become famous?

For these mem- l)ers we entertain a deep sympathy and deplore the fact that they can- not share the honors we shall receive in May. The other and larger part of our class entered Southwestern during the month of January 1912. They, but for a few exceptions, are still here and constitute with us and a few members that have joined the class since, the class of ' 1(5. As I write this history a thousand memories rush tlirough my brain. I can see with my mind ' s eye the old familiar faces of the upper classmen smiling at us for our timidity and taunting us with the term Freshie as we passed them on our way to and from classes, I can see myself with my classmates pondering over some crazy example in Algebra or fuming because we could not plane a lilock of wood straight. How clearly do I see the jubilant faces of my classmates and how distinctly do I remember their wild exclamations of rejoicing the day we defeated the Senior Class of that year, in indoor baseball, there- by winning the pennant and the school championship. But, ah! how
