Senior Class History T HE Old adage — History repeats itself can be justly contradicted in re- viewing the past four years ' history in educational institutions of America, for in what oilier four consecutive years lias the college girl had so stirring an experience as in these years of beligerent history through which our country has passed, the salutary effect of which has been indelibly impressed upon her. During the past year, especially, have not these girls been imbued with such a spirit of patriotism, born of love and self sacrifice, as has never before been known in the history of the country? The girls of Anderson College have been privileged to contribute largely in spirit and in means to this great world movement. In this respect these years of her history will be recorded. In other respects, our history is unique. When Anderson College started out in her infancy, we. her graduates today, launched out with her. sharing her hopes, and grappling with her fears. But as we stand here we are proud to say that those fears, we have conquered, and those hopes, we have realized. To be granted the opportunity of launching out with such an institution is no small privilege, and no stereotyped history. The first two years of our college life we were privileged to come under the benign and uplifting influence and discipline of our honored and beloved ex-presi- dent. Dr. James P. Kinard, whose very presence was a benediction. As we were ushered into our Junior year, there came into our lives another strong personality, that of Dr. John E. White, whose connection with our Col- lege, and whose association with us has meant so much. We consider it a privilege to have been with such a great man for two years, for having known him has been an inspiration. The motherly love of a sympathetic woman is an influence that should not be passed lightly over, and in the personality of our beloved Sponsor. Mrs. Emma B. Scearce, this influence finds full expression. We have been singularly fortunate in that we have come in daily contact with her understanding and sympathetic- nature. She will always be held in memory by the Class of 1918 as one of the most influential and uplifting features of our colle ge life. To be disciplined, coerced and guided by such personalities, thus having our lives chiseled and carved at so many different angles, is out of the ordinary.
