Senior Class IHistor? It was a bright fall day of 1900 that the members of our class first entered these P. C. walls. AVe were quite a goodly number then; but as time lias gone on, many have dropped out of their own accord, while others have been forced to give up the journey, even when the end was in view. We came in the full dignity of our various high school graduations, feeling our importance no little, and thinking that we should soon be sighing for more worlds to conquer. AYe go away with full realization that there are worlds, many numbered, and that our mightiest efforts have conquered only a few of them. In many ways we have been a class quite out of the ordinary. AYe have already gone into history as the class that, thinking to preserve P. C. forestry, planted a tree, and thereby caused a battle that P. C. will not soon forget. The cause of this battle was the general dissenting spirit between us Sophomores and our sister Juniors; the occasion was that the Juniors uprooted our innocent little tree; the result was that we got our rights, but not our tree, for, though the Juniors planted it again for us, it did not thrive in this climate and some kind hand gently removed it from P. 0. But, nevertheless, we have a tree, for in May of our Junior year we had a May Day celebration and our queen of the May presented us with a tree which we adopted and which we leave behind as our living witness. In our Junior year we presented the college with a song. AYlien P. C. comes home victorious from basket ball singing “Alma Mater, dear P. C.,” it is good to think that this song was written by a member of the Class of 1910. As well as originating for ourselves, we know a good thing when we see it, and such did we see in the Senior class pin of 1909. AAre therefore made this pin ours and that of succeeding P. C. seniors. The thing of which we are most proud and which we feel is of most benefit to ourselves and others is our instituting, to a certain extent, self-government. AYe have had delightful social times. In our Sophomore year we entertained the Seniors at a banquet. In our Junior year, we as Mr. Taft and his Cabinet, entertained our wives, the Seniors. This year we were guests at a banquet given by the Juniors. Concerning our intellectual attainments, it were best that you ask our teachers. In Church History we have worked hard and have looked up enough men for a small army. In Ethics, though we know that “Doc’r” Dabney must think clearly, for we have been repeatedly told so, we find it very hard to get the point. If you would but listen, we could entertain you with Latin odes, history themes and original sonatas. But with all this we can but come before the vast hill of knowledge with veiled faces and in awed humility, repeat the lesson we learned in English, “AYe know nothing.” 22 F. J.—’10.

Oo tl)e Senior (Hass of 1910 I O, the path of knowledge is steep, steep, steep, And long, and stony, and hard; O, the Spring of Learning is deep, deep, deep, But save to the few ’tis barred. I sing to the class that has drunk so deep That though hard-pressed, would ne’er retreat, That at last has ascended the way so steep, That leads to Seniorhood. II O, the path at first seemed fair and sweet, You started without any fears, The beginning and end seemed almost to meet; But between lay many a day and week, And many a vale of tears. III O, the way grew rugged and rough to the feet, There many a trial stood With many a temptation and many an entreat To return, but you groped through the shadows deep, For beyond lay Seniorhood. IV (), other things from your minds may sweep, Your knowledge of rules and of ancient seers; But you’ve learned for the sorrows of others to weep, And the lessons of life and of love you’ll keep Through the coming years. V O, the path of knowledge is steep, steep, steep, And long, and stony and hard; O, the Spring of Learning is deep, deep, deep! But save to the few ’tis barred. Tho’ hard be the trials and sorrows you meet In the path-wav of life, may you scorn defeat, May your final victory be as sweet as your Seniorhood! B. M. 23
