Senior Class History y ll ' lHOL ' T ;i (liiuht, ilear classmates, we stand to-daj ' as a glorious ex- J l ample of the sur i al of the fittest. Since the autumn of 1908 we have lost man - from mn ranks but our undaunted courage has carried us bra -elv through the four years, giving undeniable procjf that ictory is not wholly due to num1)ers. In (.)ur fresliman vear we impressed both the h ' aculty and the upperclass- men b - our wonderful air of dignit}- and later in the class scrap and footl)all game we ga e to the egotistic Sophomores a glowing demonstration of our abilit - as warriors. In 1909 we dealt se erely with the fresh newcomers and badly defeated them in the class game, followed by a scrap, the annals of which will he handed down from generation to generation. One of our bra e knights, represent- ing the spirit of tlie Class of 1912, performed a feat of daring hitherto un- equalled in the liistory of the school and one never to he surpassed in the vears to come, (hu- Hag waxed [iroudl}- in the air unmindful of the I909ers ' gnashing of teeth. At the third goal post of our college course, we started in with a moral di ' ided, but that ri]i])le on the surface of our smooth run only showed us how necessar - we were to one another and Ijound us more firmly together. From that time we have been as one and now at last we have assumed the role of Seniors. During the short time that dear old I!. L . has mothered us we have striven our best to grasp the precious gifts she has offered and to show our appreciation of this gohlen period. In a few short months our farewells must be given and then, Oli, Alma Mater, like the sad pilgrims of old, we shall go out with the deternunation to ])lant worthily the treasures gathered from thy store upon the soil of realms yet unconciuered.
