Senior Class History ' ERY people of every clime has made an unwritten history, and this is quite as important as the records of kings and queens. There you will find locked the secrets of a nation ' s life, no memories of which have escaped the prison vaults of their hearts; but they linger there as sacred traditions, and are the sweetest of a nation ' s life. And so it is with the Class of 1910. Many of its reminiscences that shall, in future years, bring the greatest delight, will not be so much what we en- trust to these pages, but rather the things which we bury in our hearts. The friendships that we form and cherish ; the enemies that we make, but never hate — all these cannot be recorded, but they are the true history of this class. The Class of 1910 leaves the halls and campus of Wofford to bid a God be with you to all that will henceforth appear only as tender memories of the truly happy days there. ! A feeling of sadness, that is not without its pleasure, is present in all our hearts, and it is with gratitude and reverence we cherish the memory as one who, in our childhood days, guided our footsteps safely through difficulties, so do we turn with filling eyes and swelling hearts to bless thee, A ' of¥ord. ' None of us will ever forget that dark and dreary and rainy day of the eighteenth of September, 1906. Surely, we hoped, that this kind of day was no index to the brightness of the four long years we were to spend on Wofiford campus. On the next morning we went to chapel for the first time. To all of us this was a solemn, august, awe-inspiring occasion. It was the last time that Bishop Duncan was to be present at the opening of Wofford. The talk he gave us that day will ever remain bright and shining in our memory. It was full of sympathy, comfort, advice and inspiration to a boy just come from his home and loved ones, to be placed in new and untried environments. The Faculty, one by one in their turn, extended to us words of greeting and of welcome to the tune of twenty pages in this department, or thirty pages in that for the first recitation. We at once realized that we could have no time to frolic at Wofiford, but that here they did serious, earnest work, and plenty of it. We went on nicely with our work through the year, making a splendid record and doing high scholarship work. Before we knew it, June had come ; the trials and tribulations and much of the greenness and awkwardness of Freshmen had passed away, and now we were to return home to spend a happy vacation, with the proud thought that when we returned we would be Sophomores. The smnmer of 1907 seemed to pass very quickly, and it was not long before we were ready to continue our work. We returned with renewed zeal to resume our duties. How differently we felt from the year before! We were no longer sneered at as Freshmen ; we had passed through that stage of verdancy, and found ourselves wiser and better able to cope with the vast questions with which a Sophomore has to do. Our number was not so large now, as many, for various reasons, unknown to us, had played the part of deserters. It is true that some few joined our band this year, who have proved a help to us, but their iS
