SOPIl0MllIll MASS HISIURY The history of the class of one and fifty of the college of the city of Campbellsville, County of Taylor of the State'of Kentucky is thus stated. In the beginning in the ninth and fortieth year of our Lord in the ninth month and on the nineteenth day of the month there entered into this land of learning 184 seekers of knowledge. Some came up from high school where they had for many months been busily engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom, some were green and freshfrom distant parts, some came from farms where they had been tillers of the soil, some came leaving behind fame and fortune and others came severing relationship as nephews of Uncle Sam. And it came to pass as they did enter this land that they were received with wild welcomings and rejoicings by those whom it was decreed should henceforth lead them up the slippery by-ways of knowledge. Likewise it came to pass that they were received with malicious glee bv a certain band of wild beings who were called soph- omores and who, because of their fierce taste for freshmanblood, did pounce upon them daily and nightly and did cause them to suffer great things and to sayintheir hearts, Behold, blessed be the name of education, for because of it have we endured great tor- ments both of the body and of the mind. Verilyhave we beenmartyrs to its great and noble cause. And it came to pass not long afterwards that those wild beings presented a play en- titled The Little Clodhopper. After seeing the play we knew that they were not the wild beings we had thought them to be and as we dwelt long in the land we fell in with the cus- toms of the inhabitants there and their strangeness wore away and we each became as one among the rest. And it came to pass after some months that their eyes were turned toward their sophomore year and their future graduation, but many, with one consent, began to make excuse. The first said, I am poor in health, therefore I cannot graduate. Another said, I must needs toil at home, therefore I cannot graduate. A third said, I am dull and cannot learn, I pray thee have me excused. And still another said, I am going to be married and therefore lneed not graduate. So thus did the class decrease in numbers until the whole number at the end of the first year was 169. Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year that a decree went out from Dean Roy O. Chumbler that all the people should be enrolled. And all went to be en- rolled, everyone into his own class. And they did choose such an able leader as Wil- liam Smith, surnamed Dean, and to assist him they chose Vernon Calhoun, Vivian Romine, Jean Cosby and Paul Smith. And the class of one and fifty, in the new dignity of their promotion remembered the days of their own greenness and as the sopho- mores of their day had done unto them, even so did they unto the new band of youths that came up from the adjoining territory and did show no mercy unto their sufferings and no heed to their lamentations until they were drunk with I-Iadacol. So it has come to pass of that 184 that entered this land in the class of nine and fortyonly 93 will depart. For verily, verily I say unto you that wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to the college, and many there be that go in thereat. But straight is the gate, and narrowis the way, which leadeth to graduation and few there be that find it. Two years hath the class of one and fifty sojourned in the land and gathered in large portions of the fruits from the Tree of Knowl- edge. But it is written, In the day when ye shall have eaten of all these fruits ye shall surely be driven forth from the land. Now, I say unto you, they must depart thence, to go each a separate way to lands they know not of, to do they know not what. But, let us not be weary in wellbeing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. And now may the blessings that ever at- tend the noble and good and true, follow and abide with us, each and all forevermore. Amen. Phil Martin 29
