Senior History II is with pride that we record in the pages of this Codrus the deeds done (and undone) in the flesh I»y one of the most wonderfully and fearfully made classes in the history of old C. C. When we are all on the dead level in the cemetery, it will l c said of us ns of Lincoln, “Now they belong to the ages.” Many will shed tears, copious, gushing tears, not of regret and distress, Init tears of joy anil gratitude for the innumerable volumes of good deeds which we have placed on the shelves of eternity. In 1912 twenty-four young striplings registered as Freshmen, but ns time flowed on the number dwindled or increased by spurts until we now numl er fifteen. At the beginning of our Senior year Ralph Ivlder safely jumped from the valley of the sophomore over the mountains of Juniorhood, into the laud of the Seniors flowing with intellectuality and irrigated by success. Rev. Whyte will join our ranks on Commencement Day and take his bachelor degree. Two of our members, (). M. and C. 1'., have already put on tin- teacher's luirness and an' pulling many thru the slough of ignorance. They, too. will be recipients of degrees on June 9th. Yes, wc arc fearfully and wonderfully made. Some have poise, others uvoinhi|K)isc; some are blondes, many broomettes; and others have so much of them on the ground that it is ft wonder they don’t take cold. We arc the hope of the ages and despair of the Profs. Our motto is efficiency in the broadest sense —to «lo everything and everybody. We are going to put on the market the biggest (how about I)avc?) and the best qualified bunch of teachers ever yet moulded and branded by 0. C. It is said that teachers are the salt of the cart It .and our Profs, will testify that we have already attained a five cent sack capacity along this line. There are coming scientists among us who will no doubt be analyzing gold «lust for years to come. Then, too. there arc some who have proved most efficient in argumentation and debate. Prof. Allen’s patient and faithful lalnirs along this line an not barren of results. Such weighty questions as those concerning ” involution” and “ Military Preparedness have been settled for all times by some «if our esteemed mcmlrers. Ada and Dorothy have had a course in domestic silence nn l others of our fair members can execute anything on the piano, even just judgement. Tis said that Merle has the rudiments of no less than ten languages stored away in the nooks and cubby holes of his cranial anatomy. On the other hand Willie has the financial deficits of no less than ten organizations storc«l away in the nooks and crevices of his pockets—some treasurer! There is an erroneous notion afloat concerning our Indligerenqy. Very few things has our class, collectively or individually, sought to oppose. Hut in the course of human trickery, when numerically shaped flower gardens, obnoxious because of plats and placer, an planted in full view of daily anti legitimate walk, then WKfcel it OlrR Dl'TY to the institution to rise up and leman«l justice—or ro«»t out geraniums. Again, who (1 leave space for a reply) would not try t « pull the wool over the eyes of the faculty when in order to receive your “sheepskin s’ you are compelled to orate 1004) words for the ears of the unapprcciating public. Wc have | clitionc l, wc have remonstrated, we have supplicated; we have prostrated lwfore the faculty and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the Hoard «if Trustees. This hauls us t philosophize with Shakespeare—with a few hlottings out and some insertions— “To deliver ’em or not t« deliver ’em. that is tin- question:— Whether ’tis nobler in the minds t«» suffer 'I'lie slings and arrows «d outrageous fortune. Or to take arms against the movement. And by opposing end it? In one sense we an- belligerent. We Itclieve with our President (Me(licsncy) in nu ntal prepare«l- m-ss. The Profs, have been doing their best to load mr intellectual howitzers and f«»r four years have been steadily mobilizing the forces «if truth and fact. All that remains lobe «lone is the ignition of these gaseous bombs by the flame of activity. M. K. B. 23
