SENIOR HISTORY OW, for the fourth and last time, are we, the class of 1911, given opportunity to narrate the story of our life since first we came into Sm, 5, . , Hills. It is with many pleasant memories of these past four years, aswell as with sorrow at the thot of future partings, that we undertake All-A-4' this task. Only those who have been linked together as class-mates and friends, and have in a larger way been bound to the school as a whole, and have formed also many strong ties of friendship with the townspeople, can understand what it means to us that our college days in Alfred are drawing to a close. These four years have been short, happy, and profitable ones for us. existence, September 17 1911, as a class of the College Among the Our class formation dates back to the evening of that first registration day in Alfred, and the place was the old English room in the Brick basement, where, later on, we Went mafw happy CPD hours in Freshman English class. Here we chose our colors, The Violet and the Gray, and here first rang out the now familiar words: Wang! Bang! Zip! Bang! Zebenl Rah! Rah! Alfred! Nineteen 'levenl On October fifth we enjoyed a most bountiful and undisturbed banquet at the Hornell Page House, and only five days later we took another most pleasant trip to Arkport. Among the social events of the year were the Freshman Corn Roast in Lover s Lane, the Peanut Party at the President's, the Snowball Party at the home of Professor Wilcox, parties given by class President Crumb and Allan Williams, and the UID I0 Odell's sugarbush. Worthy of note also is the Flagrush, which of course we won, as well as the Track Meet in May, when we gained the new Loving Cup. We wound up our first year with that ghostly procession on the midnight of June tenth, when we burned our freshman caps and themes thus signifying that our childhood days were over. , After the first year, the novelty of college began to wane, but the memories of these Other three years are many and delightful. The pleasant times spent each year with Professor and Mrs. Wilcox, and also with Mr. and Mrs. Crumb, will be long remembered by us. Then, too, there are the Sophomore-Freshman games of our second year, that ever-to-be-remembered trip to our Sophomore Banquet at Canisteo, our Junior sleighride, and our third-year banquet at the Parish House, when we Presented the result of the year's hard labor, our 'Kanakadea, to Professor Wilcox, and to the college in general. This year our responsibilities as seniors have weighed heavily upon us in the interests of the college at large. However, we have found time for our roast in Lover's Lane, fa most dignified affairj, our Progressive Hallow'een Party, and our Senior Dinner. Founders Day was to us the day in our history when we publicly assumed our senior responsibilities and symbolized the event by donning our caps and gowns. To us it was a most serious occasion, for it also foretold our departure from friends and Alma Mater, and our advent into the wide, wide world, where we shall soon have occasion 10 Pfpve, by the way in which we meet our world problems, whether we have been Working by Our motto, Erst wagen, dann wagen. 23
