X69 T is with the queerest combination of sentiments ry -Tl that a Senior approaches the end of his college course, and for the last time takes his pen in hand ..I sg to write an account of the class he has learned to ggfys-Ng love. It is not a love unscarred, a joy unblemished, i' - 1 nor a mirth unrepressed that accompanies him toward his commencement day. Nevertheless, it is a love tried and sincere, a joy deep and heart-felt, and a mirth gen- uine and and unaffected. Each year of the class's history seems to have had its own distinctive feature. No 'two years were in spirit alikeg yet all work together in a coordination which makes our i history as a class so interesting. The freshmen year was one of adjustment, and striving for our rights as a class. Then we stood as a large united body. VV hen speaking of the frosh-soph affairs which are rapidly becoming things of the past, the class of 1920 has no need to bow the head. In athletics the college looked to the freshman class for her leading men. In class-work-well, it-didn't take us long to find out how little we knewg and upon that knowledge of a lack of knowledge, to build for greater things. Our sophomore year was one of undue elation and division. A sophomore, as a rule, is like a young game-cock feeling for the first time his spurs. So we felt our advance one year further in our course, placed a chip upon our shoulder, and had it knocked off, thus causing considerable excitement. T It was at this time that we felt very keenly the loss of class-mates who had been with us the previous year, a number of whom had entered the service. Then, too, there were internal dissentions and divisions too painful to be more than mentioned, which tended to break the harmony of the class. The junior year was largely one of war service and later readjustment. A number of our boys joined the training corps and devoted most of their time to that, while others were away in camps or across the sea. But the remainder kept alive the old class spiritg and after the armistice was signed and the unit disbanded, the Juniors resumed their obligations as classmates as they had not done before since the first year. The unsettled conditions as well as other external forces, however, hindered us in many of our proposed class projects and activities. Now we are in our senior year-a year of retrospect and prospectg a year of distinction and yet a sense of failureg a year of constructive planning for not only our own futures, but for the classes below us, and for the college we love. VVe try to remedy past mistakes and to build for a brighter future. VVe feel we have 'been successfulg but we hope for and expect even greater success for our college and for ourselves. i-'Tlll' moving Hager 'w1'ites,,' and, having zvrit, .lllowr on: nor all your piety and 'wit Can lure it hack to cancel half fi line, Nor all your tearr rcaslz out one -word of it.
