Wlffwffrar ified to our honorable instructors that our criterion was still at its height. During this year, most of us became members of the Sportsmen's Club of America. During the early part of the year, we all enjoyed a pleasant time at a ball given in our club hall. Many new members were also initiated into the several fraternities dur- ing this year. The big feature, however, upon which all spent considerable time, was the compiling of the Year Book, a task which it behooves the Junior class to accomplish. Thanks to the editor and his assistants and all those who kindly aided, the Year Book has excelled all other productions of pre- vious years. Like all our other achievements, it is a credit to and a reHec- lion of a class composed of quantity and quality. The historian's field does not encroach upon the future, but one, year hence shall terminate the history of our class, collectively. Individually, we will all endeavor to improve on that which is well done. Though hard the task may seem and long the journey, we shall proceed as we began. This completes the history of the junior class to date, and there is little more to say, except to note the new Sophomore and bid farewell to the de- parting Seniors. Gazing back, we behold the Sophomore on the lower rungs of the ladder. The audacity that marked him in his Freshman year has given place to intellectuality. Sophomores, you have assured us of your capabilities as medicoes. Therefore, feel at ease when on our domain: we appreciate your friendship. Gazing forward, we behold the graduating class. Seniors, your four years of incessant toil are about to be crowned with the laurels of success. Your good fellowship during the time that we have known you has convinced us of your sterling worth, your high ideals, your one ambition. Now that you are about to leave college life and enter Life's college, bear with you the teachings of your tutors and then though storms o'ertake you and barriers confront you, you shall eventually reach the bay of success, that lies calm and peaceful, awaiting you. We hope that your fondest dreams of the golden future shall be fully realized in the days to come. Seniors, au revoir. Fellow classmates, in recapitulation of that which is past, we have noted our trials and our triumphs. Let not vain glory mislead us from the pathway rightfully chosen. Though our difficulties may yet be in store, let us remember: There is no chance, no destiny, no fate Can circumvent or hinder or control The firm resolve of a determined soul. Gifts count for nothing, will alone is great. All things give way before it, soon or late. What obstacle can stay the mighty force Of the sea-seeking river in its course, , Or bid the ascending orb of day to wait? Each will-born soul must win what it deserves. Let the fool prate of lucl-L. The fortunate is he Y Whose earnest purpose never swerves: Whose lightest action or inaction serves The one great aim. Why, even death stands still and waits an hour, sometimes For such a will. JOSEPH R. BETTHAUSER, 'l6. lim
