PANDORA ★ Senior Class History or long since, some one was prowling around in one of the secluded corners of the library, not looking for a hook hut reviewing some bulletins, pamphlets, etc., among which he found a University Catalogue of the year 1914 1915. The above mentioned idle person through curiosity turned to the roll of the Freshman Class. In going down the list of names he scarcely found any names which designate Seniors who perambulate the campus today. Being somewhat amazed he turned to a nearby student and asked, “When did Ids class graduate? Certainly not before this year, and these men are not Seniors now.” Going down the list of over two hundred names he found only thirty-five that sounded reallv familiar. So it was. we entered four years ago over two hundred strong and all of this number, except thirty-five, have fallen by the road-side, while about fifteen have been added to our roll. It has not been altogether the law of the survival of the fittest that has thinned our ranks. Some of them went by this route. Some of them married, some entered business, some heard the call back to the farm, hut more of them, which is within keeping with true Georgia Spirit, heard the call to arms, and these have already given the Class of 'IS a representation in this momentous struggle which would do credit to any class. Lack of space prevents the detailed enumeration of the Class of ‘IS in college activities. From facts and records it can he said that our class has upheld its standards in athletics and in oratory, debating and classroom work, for it exceeds the ordinary class. As to the nationalities in the Class of 'IS. “No Greeks work here.” Every member of the class is a thoroughbred gentile and practically all of them were horn and raised in the sunny climes of Georgia. We arc not proud of this fact however. hut we mention it because it rarely ever happens that there is a class which is not represented by foreign constituents. Our class has another unique characteristic. We entered college just as the warring nations entered the battlefield, so our class can justly be called the first war class at the University and we sincerely hope the only war class. In making our departure we wish to express our thanks to the people of the Classic City and to the Faculty of the University who have been so faithful and earnest in working for our interest, so that we might be able to live better, more helpful and more efficient lives.

C'uktis Pktkk Bakkk, A.B. Hartwell, Gn. Demosthenian; Freshman Debater; Junior Orator. ” Here's to the pilot who has weathered the storm.” We don’t know what R. F. D. Baker lives on, but any way he lives up in the hills of Hart County—yes, so far up in the hills that the owls are afraid of the chiekens. However, lie is not so far back ill the sticks that his breath smells like con I wood. Baker looked in the Q Itoom one day and thought that they were playing marbles on the tables and punching them with a stick. He was a shark in his home settlement at the marble game, where they play with hickory nuts. So he thought that he could surely play a great game on the smooth, level table. Baker’s mind is inclined towards law and we are sure that he will make a lawyer that will do credit to the county precinct in which he lives. Jbssf. Jamf.s Bkxkoicd, B.S.Ag.

J.” is another man who is more familiar with the word “whoa” than “halt,” when you mean stop. There never was a “Georgia” man who enjoyed playing “Glory” more on his horn than Benford. He has blown “Glory” at nearly all of the Georgia games during the last four years, and enjoys it more every day. It is said that he is the greatest originator of col lege •slang in school and it is he who first thought about “Hold them in the road.” “J. J.” is a good, clever scout.
