Senior Class History Having entered upon the home stretch of his race after wisdom and understand- ing, the Senior looks back over past efforts and achievements with feelings of satis- faction, due to successful achievements, mingled with regrets for neglected oppor- tunities. During the last few weeks of his College Course, as never before, does he awaken to the realization that the four brightest years of his life have come to a closeg a golden period which has offered countless avenues for the development of his natural abilities. The history of the Class of IQII has been frought with victories won, battles lost, associations-both pleasant and otherwise. In the Fall of the year 1907, 22 strong, and happily ignorant of the gleams of verdure which our superiors imagined they continually perceived, scintillating from the Freshmanls eyes, IQII launched upon its career as a class. As proves the case with all Freshmen, this class soon ob- served that there were still a few small bits of knowledge, which Prep. and High School Professors had left to be taught. Being naturally of an observing and studious nature, they immediately commenced to learn. ln the course of a year when their Freshmanitis,' has worn off, there was revealed a class of talented, full-fledged stu- dents, possessed of great capabilities for the work to follow. Having long since passed that stage of innocent, harmless scraps and pranks, engaged in by lower class- men, we must let the accounting of such occurrences to them and pass on to more im- portant matters. Suflice it to say that in early years of our experience as lower class- men, when at times ardor waxed too warm, there was recourse to never-failing, cooling remedies-brick ice cream and the fish dam. Access being rendered easily in both cases by 1912. In Academic work the Seniors have always held a high position, displaying to faculty and students alike, a wisdom and intelligence well grounded, equal to all oc- casions, and in all respects measuring up to standards fixed by preceding classes. Realizing the great benefit to be derived from literary work, 1911 has endeavored to excel in all three societies. Honorably have her members performed all work assigned them along this line. Besides furnishing a member of the College Debating Team, on the Bulletin Staff during the past two years, IQII has aided very materially in raising and retaining the high standard of excellence displayed by our College pub- lication. Feeling the need, the class has seen fit to launch a new project, and as a result we have assumed the bulk of work in the publication of this-our first College Annual. ln Athletics, 1911 has played an important role. Through the Inter-Class Basket Ball series, she has for the last two years finished in 2d place. From her ranks, nine Varsity team positions have been ably filled, one basket and one base ball captain has led his team on to victory, and two base ball managers have successfully managed their seasons. As a whole the members of the class have always demon- strated their support of athletic activities by financial aid as well as by word of mouth. The spirit dominating the various class activities has been characterized by earnest, persistent endeavor towards bettering our own condition as well asradvancing the interests of our Alma lvlater. A quotation from an aluminus in speaking of the class will explain its constant attitude towards progress in all lines of College work. He says: The reason that IQII has been 'doing things' is that they are boosters and not knockersf' Possessed for four years with that indomitable courage which overcomes all resistance, IQII steps out into life with the firm conviction that she has fought a good light and gained that which goes toward making life a success.
