Class Motto - For Me to Live Is Christ Under the leadership of Miss Helen Williamson, the Junior Class of '32 has spent a busy and successful year. The class is known for its accomplishments, made possible through the cooperation of every member. Each one, in all her activities, has tried to live the class motto - For Me to Live Is Christ. The Juniors counted it a joy to present the creche and the living tableau at Christmas-tide. It is hoped that it meant as much to all who saw it as it did to those who had the privilege of participating in it. Parties and good times have been many. Who will forget the green suits which prevailed in the building on the third of October? It seems quite im- possible that Juniors or Freshmen could forget Initiation Day. Each Junior loves to have a birthday. The Class, seated at a special table, presents a rose to the birthday guest and songs are sung in her honor, much to the blushing discomliture of the modest birthday girl. Who of the twenty-two Juniors will not remember with joy the trip to the farm where they were entertained by the Seniors? Didn't the girls get excited when they were waiting to see which farmer boy would purchase their lunch baskets, though? And dull care was thrown to the winds as we whirled about in the Virginia Reel and the old folk-games. The Junior-Senior Banquet will be a long-remembered feature.. We knew only the joy of working and preparing for it until we experienced the added joy of the Senior's surprised and happy faces on the night of April 13th. It was a truly modernistic banquet from the simple. yet artistic and beautiful dignity of the atmosphere and decorations, to the almost futuristic gowns of some of our guests. The prayer life of each girl is her underlying source of strength. It Ends expression each week in the class prayer-meetings and also in the special prayer week. There we remember in prayer our homes, friends, school and world problems. As we leave our class room after these meetings we are filled with a sense of the nearness and thoughtful care of our Father. The Class is looking forward to its Senior year as one in which each mem- ber shall come a little nearer to those ideals which she has set for herself and which her Master would have her fulfill.
