Junior Class History S INCE Theodore Roosevelt has taken Cho ' s place, the writing of his- tory is a strenuous task at its best. But when it is a matter of recording the doings of an energetic mass like the class of ' 14, it might worthily call into play the powers of a Macaulay or a Caesar. We came to Bucknell in the fall of 1910 — a hardy horde of sturdy strip- plings, gathered from the various places between the sunny plains of West Virginia and the virgin forests of Greater New York. Under the leadership of Doc Cook we met the sophomores in mortal combat and incidentally dis- covered the North Pole somewhere near the goal line at the gym. In the football clash we again pulled the long end of a 9-6 score. Right here the scribe would like to close his freshman annals, but truth forbids him to be as the usual historian is. He therefore sorrowfully states that we lost both the class games in basketball and in baseball. But despite such reverses we intro- duced two customs at the old college: we adopted the school colors as class colors and we burned our bi-colored caps on the last night of our freshman year. In our sophomore year we dutifully upheld the dignity of the university and maternally nurtured the infant aspirations of 1915 in a way acceptable to seniors and juniors alike. Incidentally, we won the basketball championship and another football game. This year we have put aside class struggles and turned our energies upon Ethics and Strength of Materials. As juniors, we are still young, but we are confident of finishing the year in a manner that will properly fit us for next year ' s senior duties. Perry A. Caris, Historian. 25

J unior CI ass roem D AWN opened Vv ' ide her eyes. From out the brightness of the eastern skies She came, and touched the world with rosy hand. And strewed unopened flowers o ' er all the land. Then wearied with her labors, with a smile She sat her down apace and stayed awhile. And lo, from far and near on every hand, A crowd of youths and maids, a merry band. Appeared, all free from care or sigh; And day drew nigh. Through portals golden bright She came, her garments radiant with light She touched the world; the flowers opened wide. She looked about her, and on every side. The clouds which Dawn had left to hide the blue With fairy whiteness, faded out from view. Again the youths and maidens, older grown. But merry still, although the time had flown. Appeared and took their places just the same. And evening came. She came from heights sublime. And rested on the mountain peaks a time. She touched them o ' er with purpled hues and shades. Then made herself a path, far down the glades. Where on each side the flo wers, full grown now. Bent as they touched her garments trailing slow. Again the youths and maidens took their stand. Evening has not yet passed, and oer their land She lingers yet, their Goddess for a time. And reigns sublime. Ruth Edwards, Poetess. 26
