1+i WiL.LiAM K. Child Four years have come, four years have gone, Since first we trod these sacred halls. Four long years which now do seem But days in passi ng short. At the beginning, the end was far away. But, now that our race is run, And all the conquests won. Time loses part of his prize. We gaze upon our footprints, And, as we look, they vanish. New feet already are marching To the tune we leave behind. May they profit by our labors. As we, by those before us, did ; For there is pride in accomplishment. In reaching a long-sought goal. In fulfilling the hopes of others, And in mastery and control. In spite of the joys we ' re leaving. Happiness is ours today; In spite of the future ' s uncertainty, There is one real game to play. We turn our faces toward the sun, The rising sun of life; Its rays are called ambition. Which is strength for the coming strife. Friendships have come to the parting way, But in each heart is kept alive The best Old Wofford could give To the Class of Twenty-five. May it ever be our watch-word, ' Conquer and Prevail. ' Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Dear old Wofford, hail! 26

Cautious, Oyster While we had to wait until the second year of our college lite to receive this silent man. the Class of ' 25 counts itself extremely fortunate in havingr him among its members. He has the splendid ability of handling well, and to himself, the various obstacles that confront a college man; though what he seems to handle best is a voluminous correspondence with the ladies, here and there, far and near. Cautious never reveals intelligibly to any of us his attitude toward those of a more delicate nature, but he leaves to us the privilege of con.iecturing about his bear- ing upon that particular phase of life. We, however, will not err greatly in saying that he really, truly, cares lots for lots of girls; for when we see him almost constantly sit- ting at a table, issuing letters of great length to many, we could hardly say that any one in particular has a monopoly on inspiring him to such spontaneous elucida- tions about — well, something. By having ever played, throughout his college career, the role of a gentleman, he has won a place of high esteem in the re- gard of his classmates and fellow students. He is an excellent student; he has always made marks praiseworthy among the pro- fessors, and he has saturated himself with the true and loyal spirit of his Alma Mater, The record you have made during your three years at Wofford, Leonard, is the best; and now, as we bid you farewell, you have the sincerest wishes of the Class of ' 25 for a successful career in the broader school of life.
