5 SENIOR POEM ARK I Ye children seeking light. The horn of the chieftain calls; Calls us forth to the battle, With the foe on the field of life. Full many a year we have listened For the sound of the chieftain ' s horn ; He has called ! Be armed and ready. For in life we must be christened. You have led us into knighthood; Smoothed the paths that we must tread; Touched us with thy wand of Knowledge ; Taught us to be true and good. Breathe a prayer at our departing, Mother, dearest to our hearts ; That the truths you nobly taught us May remain of us a part. Au-Revoir, then darling Mother ; Mother of our college days ; Tho we leave you now forever. In our hearts will reign no other. E. W. N. Page Twenty-Nine

SENIOR HISTORY ( )R four long years we have been struggling earnestly and patiently toward the goal that we have now reached. During these years many difficulties and obstacles have shadowed our pathway, but we have worked dili- gently and courageously and at last we bear the name of victors. We have always worked with the welfare of Susquehanna at heart, and whether it be in the classroom or on the gridiron, 1916 has always done her best. We realize that we are only one of the many classes that have loved, .served and left the classical halls of S. U. Although we have had many rivals, yet none that surpassed. We have ever kept before us our motto, Perfectio in Omnia, and have earnestly endeavored to do our Ijest. Many have been the obstacles, rugged the path, and sometimes long the journey ; but now as the end is in view we feel that the years spent here have not been a failure. Four years ago when we entered school, we numbered thirty-four — our class being one of the largest that ever entered. Since then the personnel of our cla.ss has changed, some have gone, others coming to take their place, and now twenty-two loyal members stand ready to receive the reward of earnest effort. Tn the development of athletics, music, oratory, religious organizations, and all phases of intellectual activities, our efforts have done much toward up- liolding and raising the standard of the Institution. Now, as we stand ready to leave our .Mnia Mater ;uid go out into life, we cannot fail to give a fond backward look over the four happiest, busy years which will soon be only memories. W e have not always fully taken advantage of the o])])ortunities that liave been within our gras]i, but we know that what we have recei ed here cannot fail to h;ive a l. ' isting influence on our lives, and inspire u s to be nobler, purer and stronger men and women. Pafic Thirty
