B i istorp of tl)e Clas0 of 1915 HlS ' i ' (Jl S muse, herself, might (|uail before the task of setting forth, in a few words, tlie deeds of our nolile class. Suffice it here to relate the most noteworthy, leaving actions to speak the rest more loudly than any i ' ords that might he written. The class of T5 has been one to smash precedents, make records, and set new goals. Xo other class has furnisheil as many wearers of the B. no other class has a higher record in scholarship. I ' ar-famed for the beauty of its fair members, renowned for its athletic powers. Nineteen Hundred and Fif- teen has. in physical and mental achiex ' ements, a record unsurpassed. In Freshman days, the class scrajj was merwhelmingh ' wun. when our warriors, unawed by So])h. threats, dragged every opponent across the line, and later, besitles winning the Proc. .Scrap, treated a dozen pro- testing second-year men to the famous, early-morning. Susquehanna Cold Dip. Oiu SophuniDre year was distinguished 1 - our defeating the h ' resh- man horde in the underclass contest. Never before nor since, in Buck- nell ' s history has a Sophomore Class been ' ictorious in this annual fray. As Juniors we added the inter-class Basketball Championship to our long list of honors. By this stage of our career, however, athletic ic- tories grew less important as the greater achievements of mind and in- tellect outshijue the glory of mere ]3hysical jiowers. From this time on the dignity of upper-classmen was worthil}- upheld and a good exam])le set for the youthful classes following. Now tliat we are Seniors, we look back with pride upon our record. Many good things at Bucknell ha -e been initiated and upheld by Nine- teen Hundred Fifteen. But the time is almost at hand for us to go; for yet a few brief months we tread the Campus paths and College Halls, and then go forth to larger life and deeds that shall make every member proud to say: Bucknell is my Alma Mater, ' 15 is my Class. The day soon comes when we must go. but glances l)ack and forward show, we need not fear we shall do well and honor bring to Old Bucknell. ♦ V

B Senior Class poem The battle done ? No, just begun, As we leave our College dear; We now discern what we must learn Beyond our sojourn here. When first we came and placed our name As Freshmen at the College, We thot we knew at least a few Of the rudiments of knowledge. As Sophomores we found the stores Of learning vast, unguessed ; And yet we thot we knew a lot ; Conceit our souls possessed. Another year and came the fear By Juniors never passed : Can e ' er we be, by toil set free From ignorance so vast? ' e fully know, as forth we go, Tho many may surpass us. With goal afar, at best we are But Pilgrims to Parnassus. We now can hear, distinct and clear. The ' orld beyond us hailing Us to our place, in Life ' s swift race. With courage never failing. But ere we go, we would liestow A last, a sad, farewell On college days, on student ways. On thee, our dear Bucknell. The battle done? No, just begun; We hear, anon, its roar; We leave Bucknell. aware full well The greater lies before. 21
