Senior Class Poem BY G. D. SANDERS We came from town and country, mart and farm: From where the lifted hills in shimmering dress Rose up to meet the stars, but here and there Left nook and glen, where plaid-drest farmers built Deep in the nation ' s heart their mighty strength; From where the foaming wave crest, rising, m.xed With skies, and shut the east without; from where Wide acres stretched away till wood and field Quite lost themselves ' gainst distant hazy skies. Full many southern places, kist by sun. And painted new each changing day in tints Devised by gods, we left, and came and met Together here in college ha ' h, where sweet Friendships began to form and swiftly grow. And here we ' ve lived in such devoted tasks, In frie ndships dear, in new and vaster fields Of men ' s caged knowledge that the years, like grains Of sand within an ancient hour glass, Which spill while those who watch scarce no e their fall, Have passed, and now we stand together here The end in sight. And here we hid and sought To follow after wise and learned men. With little thought when first we gathered here That any else than we should change the map Of this small sphere. But even as we met The roar of distant cannon faintly came To break sharp on our words of greeting. For With pent-up hatred breaking leash in breasts Long silent, Slav and Hun with wild-sea wrath Were at each other ' s throats. Then old long-used Foundations creaked and crumbled, houses built Through all the ages fell, and all a-tremble Stood the world — the present ' gainst the past — The past triumphant. Looking then across Those threatened fields, men saw arise a new Portent: A symbol, crimson-striped and star Bedecked, rose o ' er the field: And while it led Men followed on. And light at length breaks forth. That flag shall win, and men shall live again. Now forth we troop from our dear labors, next To enter those more dear. For to our Alma Mater we give our dearest love, but to Our country all our lives and selves. And still That flag shall lead the hosts of right. And where Through all the world it leads we follow on.

A scholar, pei; a genius, yes, and more, a gentleman! There are in the class of ' 18 six scholars, six geniuses, six men of renowned learning. Little Ack stands high among this number. C. K. is one of the finest fellows Wofford ever gave to the world. Throughout his career he has ranked with the highest in the classroom, and without the wails of the mighty he is unbeatable. As an athlete, a debater, a society worker, newspaper man, and professor at the hole he has done most excellently. He is among the best liked and most popular members of his class. Ack will be a pedagogue and a good one. Russell Elwell Ackerman, A.B Cottageville, S. C. Senior monthly orator I ' leston L,iteraiy Society; class football, two years; member Hikers ' Club. Listen not to tvhal he tells you. When we first came in contact with Big Ack he was fresh and green from the jungles of Colleton County and was of a wild and untamed nature, but by a slow process he has been domesticated, and we find in him the combination of a scholar, flirt, and gentleman. In college he distinguished himself in the languages and economics. By ceaseless struggling he has in the latter become very famous. Russell has, strange to say, won a lender spot in some little girl ' s heart, and now his goal in life is to settle down with this girl of his choice, in the quietness of some rural district. We predict a brilliant career for him in any career he may choose. (24)
