Senior Class History HE Class of 1921 has had a hard road to travel, and we might truly he termed the ‘‘hard luck” class of the University. Our hard luck began in 1917 and continued throughout our Senior year. As Freshmen, we were made to go to “gym” twice every week, which became monotonous to the last degree. This was the last year that “gym” was required, so the classes following us should appreciate their lucky exemption. Then as we entered our Sophomore year. Uncle Sam's military establishment broke forth in all its glory and we were scattered to various army camps in different branches of the service. So we were, somewhat slow in gelling organized in order to properly introduce the Freshman Class of 1918 to Georgia customs. The pushball game, previous to 1918, had always been an annual affair between the two lower classes. This event had always been looked forward to because of the excitement and entertainment it created. As Freshmen we downed the Sophs, thus upholding the dignity, honor and reputation of our class. Our victory was the last, however, because this ancient custom has been abolished, and after becoming Juniors and Seniors, we have not had the pleasure of witnessing this battle royal. This turn of fortune would have downed almost any class, but the Freshman Class of 1917 was made of sterner stuff, for we had two more trying ordeals to undergo. At Georgia, it has always been a custom that Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors had to drill. No matter how hard the wind blew or how cold it was, for three long and unforgotten years we had to attend drill at an early morning hour. On coming back this year, we were proud of the fact that there would be no more “squads right” for us. But were the Seniors to enjoy this privilege alone? Not by any means, because a new rule was enacted whereby the Juniors were also freed from this burden. Therefore it happens to be a fact that the Class of 1921 is the last class that had to drill during its Junior year. From time immemorial. Seniors have enjoyed certain privileges. Lo and behold, new absence rules have been adopted, thus excluding these prerogatives. And classes begin an hour earlier than in former limes. On our roster are found names of men who have represented their Alma Mater in every branch of college activities. Star athletes, debaters and scholars are among our number. In no respect, has our great record failed to reach the lofty heights of our predecessors. Earnestness and sincerity of purpose is indeed the striking characteristic of the Senior Class of 1921. As we go out from the doors of our beloved Alma Mater, may this characteristic lead each and every one of us to success, prosperity, and happiness in life’s trials and tribulations. Lynn Fort, Jr., Historian.
