ALinLE KNOWLEDGE IS ADANCEROUSTHING.. Senior Class History At last the beautiful star of destiny, which has guided the class of 1907 through the jovs and sorrow s of the past four years, has risen to its zenith and siiines w ith illuminating brilliancy, gi ' ing an added luster to our Alma Mater. The class of 1907 has privileges of retrospection, and for the fourth and last time makes its appearance in The Lanthorn, and then we bid farewell to Susquehanna and college life. just as mother nature was changing her soft green robe of summer for the warmer one of dull brow n and bright red, the fall term of school opened and there appeared within S. U. ' s Halls of learning ten Freshmen. It was a small class but the sterling qualities of each one soon gave this class a posi- tion to be envied bv all classes, even though their number was twice that of 1907. Our first great ictory was our Class Banquet, for ail the experience of our elder opponents was not sufficient to keep us in Selin ' s Grove that night, and even after capturing one of our number were unable to keep him from the greatest joy of a Freshie, The Banquet. As Sophomores again we were ictorious, and the pretty though pale pennant was shot from its eminence on a fish pole 23

Then with colors riyiny we repaired to Park Hotel, Willianisport, Pa., to celebrate by having our second annual banquet. During our Junior year we published the college annual, and no Lan- thorn is superior to that published by the class of 1907, although by far the smallest class ever to undertake that task. It was a task of love for our Alma Mater and Class Honor. The Class of 1907 has alw avs been noted not only for our brilliant suc- cesses along the line of scholastic duties, but also for the jolly times. Our class meetings were more like informal social affairs than business meetings and until the winter term of our junior year had always been held at the homes of the ladies of the class. Again our Botanical, Zoological and Geo- logical tramps were e ents always to be remembered, nor are the frequent after-class lunches at the cafe, pleasures e ' er to be forgotten. Of the many different indi iduals who were at sometime members of the class of 1907, only four returned at the beginning of our Senior year, but with them came three new men who will be graduated with the class of 1907. 1907 has always been foremost in Athletics. We have had the star foot-ball, basket-ball and base-ball men in our class, also the winners of se ' - eral prizes for track work, while all the lady Basket Ball Captains, for the past four years, have been elected from our midst. True, we ha e done bra el the work assigned us and ha ' e no reason for remorse, but may look only on duties faithfully performed. As we stand on this eminence, builded by four years of toil, we are torn by conflicting emotions — joy that our labor is over, that the goal we have striven for, through four long years, is about to be reached, and sorrow that the reaching of that goal means the separation of tht)se we ha e learned to love. But in the great rush and struggle of life ' s work let us ne er forget the chosen motto of 1907, the motto under which we have striven for four glori- ous years. Semper Esse Optimion, and may we li e up to the standard in the future as we have in the past and so bring honor and fame to our Alma Mater. Historian. ■i
