Senior Class History T lifts been said that all class histories contain some humor, more fiction. I little seriousness, and less truth. Nothing could he more incompatible with the history of the Class of 1!»1!). Ix‘t others sing of their valorous deeds as Freshmen, their hair-cutting conquests as Sophomores, or their awe-inspiring dignity and achievements as Juniors and Seniors. We may point with e pial zeal to our achievements along any of these lines, and wc can challenge the hest of our predecessors to show wherein our records fall short. We point instead to a nobler and more lasting record: the training wc have received, the honest work we have done, and the ideals wc have cherished. Wc point rather to our record of service in and for oui Alma Mater. Our class is a representative one. On its roster you find the names of star athletes, of brilliant debaters, of bright scholars, of the leaders in every phase of college activity. A great distinction rests upon the Class of 101!)—our record of service during tlie war. With the exception of only one man who was physically disqualified, every member of the present Senior Class saw service in either the army or navv of the United States during the recent world conflict, and many of them held the important posts of commissioned otheers. What greater tribute could you give to the Class of 1010? What higher praise than to say that when their country called, they responded as one man? That the Senior Class of 101!) is so large is a testimonial to their earnestness and sincerity of purpose. The past four years have lieen full of diversions and distractions to the college man. The war called all of us in the midst of our college courses, and yet upon the declaration of peace, you find almost the entire roster of Seniors hack in college, renewing their studies and redoubling their efforts to make up for lost time. Success has attended our efforts, and wc are soon to receive the sheepskin as a talisman with which we face the world. May the success which crowned our endeavors a? students be multiplied to each and every member of our class in his future career! Our creed is best expressed by the lofty ideals cherished by this great I'Diversity. There is a certain spirit, born of a glorious } nst and fostered by tradition, that clings to the old institution. Reverencing and preserving the thoughts, principles and traditions of the old South, we step forth into the New Fra of Reconstruction. Unconsciously, perhaps, the spirit of the University has stolen over us as it stole over Stephens and Grady and Cobh, and wc leave with the determination to strive onward and upward to belter things—even as they before us.

John William Abney, B.S.Com. Athens, Gn. Phi Kappa: Lambda Chi Alpha; Beta Gamma Sigma; Economics Society; Freshman Prize: V, M. C. A. Cabinet; Major 2nd Battalion; Associate Editor Pandora; Junior Cabinet; Senior Round Table; Gridiron Club; President Economics Society. It would l c impossible to say all of the Rood things about John in the space allotted for that purpose. He is quiet, unassuming, and a very likeable fellow, and is an exj ert in the commercial line. He will certainly bring credit on the “’Education Building”, and to have done this is certainly a notable achievement. During the trying days which marked the passing of the “Crip.” from the realms of Peabody, he weathered the storm without shipping a single “C”. In John Abney, the “Classic City” has a son whom some day she will Ik proud of and who will help make “Georgia” what it should lx? in the days to come. Haktwell Dewey Archer, B.S.A. Sparta, Ga. Agricultural Club This “disciple” of the Agricultural College may be seen daily striking'a l eo.line across “Tanyard Branch' , to the place of his delight. He is a big fellow and, no doubt, was the terror of many a Freshman in his Sophomore year and during the pushl all game. However, he is a very modest fellow, quiet ns they make them. Good nature is in the very smile which is usually seen on his face and we have never known him to have an enemy. Although he is strong, he has never used his strength in any way except to move himself in a leisurely manner from place to place. He has a fond non for lx tany, we have been told, but you never heard him say so for Archer never talks about himself, or anybody else for that matter. Good-natured, quiet and studious, there is no reason why he shouldn’t make an excellent county agent.
