Have you ever lookeil forward with longing toward something that you knew was to be 3 ' ours some day? And then when the right day came and the long desired treasure was yours, } ' ou looked back with feelings of mingled joy and sad- ness — joyous because you had attained the treasure, and sad because you could see wherein you had not made the most of it. If you have felt this way then we know that you can sympathize with the Senior Class. We h:,ve spent four long years together, united in gladness and in sorrow. Sometimes the wa v seemed long and hard and very difficult to travel, and then at times the way would brighten. And so it is in this latter connection that we will think of our college days as the most happy time of our lives. Wc have endeavored to live up to the ideals of Old liethany and to be in every respect true and noble men and women. We know we have failed in many respects, but we hope that we have done much to make llethany a better college. And nov as we say Farewell, we hope there will be no sadness, for we will ever be true and loyal to our dearAlma Mater. And to you, undergraduates, we would say : Live up to Bethany ' s ideals and ever strive to make j our college the Best College. A Senior. ' 15. 28

Bmwv OIk00 Iftatnrg 1915 In the Fall of 1911 there came many youths and maidens from all parts of our great land, to become students in Bethany College. Although tliey were un- assuming and quiet in manner on campus and in class-room, yet the faculty was forced to look upon this class of 1 ' ' 15 and call her superior in wisdom. The days passed swiftly but quietly until one cold and snowy night we fought and won (jur first victory, and that from those proud Sophs. Then, when we became even wiser and won the respect of our President and Professors alike, we thought ourselves above that barbarous custom of light- ing and desired to establish something which would stand for higher education and the true worth of our class. So we entered into the memorable Freshman- Sophomore Deliate. ' e lost, but ask tlie class of ' 16 if we were not good loosers or if we did not treat them with the respect only ' 13 could show bv the banquet given tliem. . s Juniors we proved our wisdom by our orations. The ' ' Profs, espe- cially, deemed tliciu most worthy, a fact which was manifested by the industrious manner in which they took notes. . t last, we have won the much-envied rank of Seniors. Even though the class of ' 15 has undergone many changes in her membership since her Fresh- man year, yet she is still strong in numbers, and as loyal children her sons and (laughters go forth to help spread the fame of their Alma Mater. As we, the class of ' 13, stand on the threshold of a new life, our motto, Diiiii z ' ii ' iiiiiis I ' k ' a- iiiiis will ins]Mre us to ilo better and nobler things as the ' ears pass. 29
