p 3 fenlor Class History ( renerally speaking, history is a record of the past, and may be more specifically defined as a written account of the events that have affected an institution or organiza- tion. A Senior class history is alone concerned with the things that have happened within the time spent in college. Four years ago our class, twenty in number, entered our beloved institution as Freshmen. Each anticipated a bright future, which we have realized in proportion as we have used the opportunities that were offered. Labor omnia vincit has been made our motto from the beginning, and many times during the short period of our lives have these words given us encouragement and new zeal for work. Obstacles have been surmounted in an energetic and hope- ful manner. At times we were discouraged and almost overwhelmed with difficulties, but again we would catch the faint glimmer of a bright light shining through the dark clouds of mystery, and we would take new courage. Indif- ference and carelessness has not been practiced by any one to any great extent. Opposition was not allowed to block our way, but we met it with an invincible determination which has greatly strengthened our frail ships for the storms on the sea of life. When the time came for us to issue the challenge to our experienced opponents, we did it in a credible manner; but courage failed them to even test our valiancy. In the following year, as no contest for supremacy was offered, it 19

became our duty to teach college etiquette to those inex- perienced by another method. As Junior we were more vitally concerned with the interests of our class and in dis- charging the duties that we owed to our institution. The final period of our college quaternion has quietly crept upon us. We are no longer mindful of petty class differ- ences, but our interests lay in a higher sphere of life. During these four years we have shown ability and talent not alone in fulfilling the requirements of a college curriculum. Much honor has been merited by our class in athletics. Our first victory resulted from a challenge issued by the staunch Seniors when we were Freshmen. The fid- lowing year we contested for the inter-class pennant in field sports. It was a struggle against odds, but by our steadi- ness and unrelenting enemy victory was ours. Our last victory was in basket ball with the Sophomores during the present year. This victory placed us first in this as an inter-class sport, so that we have held the championship as a class in base ball for three years, in field sports for two years and at present possess it in basket ball. Our Alma Mater has acknowledged our efforts ami worth by entrusting to us various places of great responsi- bility. Several managers, captains and editors have been chosen from our number. The presidency of almost every organization in the institution has been filled bv members of the class. From our ranks have arisen those who have upheld our institution ' s name an d honor in state and inter- state contests. Manv, indeed, are the evidences that we have used the available opportunities and that our Alma Mater has put forth much effort to inculcate those higher and nobler prin- ciples in us. But now we are fast approaching the end of this period of preparation. The thought of parting comes to us tinc- tured with sadness. Friendships that have been formed by constant association must in part be severed. The time will soon come when we can not enjov each other ' s com- panionship from day to day. Kindred struggles have so knit our hearts together that ' tis sad to think of a time when this union will be no more. In a short time each of us will lie out in the world pursuing his or her own voca- tion in life, anil wherever we are or whatever we do let us he men and women in the real sense of the word. L t us use the training we have received at the bands of our noble instructors and let us fight the battles bravely and in such a maimer as will reflect honor on our class and institution. May none of us forget the pleasures and struggles that we have passed through under the Brown and Blue. and may we cherish our beloved class with such tenderness and affection that the thought of it in after years will drive away the dark shadows and fill the sad heart with sunshine.
