Senior Class History There is a relation between our life and the centuries of lime. — Emerson HE events of our ancient history we will not attempt to describe. Suffice it to say that the pleasures of early days ended with the Fall of the Home Empire and the Invasion of the College by the Freshmen. Then began the Dark Ages. These were indeed gloomy. It was a critical period in the history of our civilization when the mind in study and the body in gym. were tortured and strained and trained. From the Fresh-Soph fight we emerged trium- phant, however, with our name painted high upon the tank. Then life was pleasanter. Father Cady and Mother Ross were good to us, and we were won over to Sweet ways. The last half of the year we had a terrific struggle in an encounter with a Young enemy, who assaulted us fearfully with sines, cosines, and tangents. We came out scarred, but victorious to enter upon the second half of the Middle Ages, — the Sophomore Year. By this time we were quite civilized, as was soon evidenced by the preaching of Peter the Hermit (alias Ruth), who stirred up the Great Crusade against the Turks (alias the Freshmen). The obstreperous heathen being duly subdued, we ah! — buckled down to work in the lab and beat old Horace out on the anvils under the head Smith of the Latin shop. In the gym, too, there was a Merri-man who kept us dancing. We took the Seniors to the Georgia Tech game despite the resistance of the Freshmen. By this time we had the reputation of getting whatever we went after, whether in the athletic, social, or scholarly line.

With so eventful a past, we entered upon the third period, — the Age of Reformation. ' Twas hard to realize we were upper classmen, but we gradually reformed. We threw off Sophomore ways and childish plays to become good Juniors. We now spent four hours of every week downstairs in the Bible room, and found there an Arm-strong to help us. Under the guidance of the Freshmen, we had a pleasant trip to foreign countries on the third floor of Inman Hall. The Junior Banquet loomed next as the event of importance, and despite the fact that our president had measles and our vice-president was enjoying a trip to Europe, it went off without a hitch. Happily reunited, we began with joy the fourth or Modern Period, — that of Enlight- enment. (We got our Senior lamps) and Political Revolution. This last consisted in the fact that the officers of Student Government were now from our class, — Annie Chapin, as president, governing Rebekah Scott, and Janette as vice-president ruling in Inman, with Ruth editor of the Annual and Tony heading the Aurora. We still held the scholarship and the basket-ball championship. My, but we felt big! Grander still was the feeling when we were invested in cap and gown. In fact, most of us found our caps a little too small for our heads that day. And now mid-years are past, and graduation is coming soon. The development of our class through all its stages from ancient to modern history has been steady and sure. With such achievement behind us, what may not be the accomplishments of the future?
