i igtorj of f imior Clai g Juniors ! Does not the name itself sound distinguished ? To write a com- plete history of the Junior Class is a task far in advance of the present writer ' s ability, yet to me is left the honor of trying to record a few of our adventures. Joyful, yet sad, were we at the beginning of the autumn of 1911, when we left our distant homes to begin our college career. We were saddened at the thought of leaving many friends and firesides which we had learned to love so dearly; yet we were joyful at the fond thought of the glorious opportunities which lay before us, the which if grasped would make us women of note, maybe renowned and adored. As new girls we suffered a great deal, or thought we did, at the hands of the upper classes, gradually learning that the way of the seeker-after-knowledge is hard. But these trials and tribulations only made stronger the tie that bound classmates together, and as Freshmen we worked and toiled day and night, deter- mined to reach the goal, constantly holding up before our eyes our class motto Conquer or Die. The days of vacation passed quickly and soon we returned, but this time the former Freshmen were no longer kno ii l v that name but were called Sopho- mores. At our first meeting we were greatly grieved because of the loss of so many members, but soon the weeping for the lost ones was over, and we went on our way rejoicing because of the new members gained. Many are the tales we could relate just at this period of our history, Ijut we must desist and pass to the more glorious days of our history. With the autumn of 1913 we began the third period of our career and were now known by the name of Juniors. Only a Junior knows how to appreciate that title. Not until this year did we fully realize and appreciate our position in college life. As Juniors we have come to realize that in future years we shall be known largely by the records we make during our Junior year and the year following; therefore our hard work is the result of all these reflections. The history of this class has been one of continuous good feeling and fellow- ship. We do not claim to be the best, but we do claim to measure up fully to any class that has gone before us, and always in our paths of life, though we may be separated, our thoughts and kind remembrances ll drift back to the friendly associates of our beloved class of nineteen hundred and fifteen.

Junior Cla£f£i oem Murfree ' s Town is in Hertford ' s bounds, Not far from where are North State ' s sounds; The swift Meherrin, deep and wide, Washes its banks on the northern side. A lovelier place you never spied — But now ' tis time to begin my ditty. Think, but just three short years ago, To see us Freshmen suffer so From painful freshness. ' Twas a pity 1 II. Freshies ! ! We fought the Sophs, and played them tricks, And handed out our wit in bricks. And cut all kinds of childish pranks. Didn ' t we ? Freshies ! Until to Sophs, we turned in flanks And placed were we in that class ' s ranks. Then wisdom was our boast in life — For wisdom were we ever seeking — For that all Sophlings were competing — Not e ' en the Seniors braved that strife. We Soph ' mores did ! III. And now we are a loyal band, With Junior title hand in hand. With hearts e ' er brave and true. E ' en though in numbers we ' re but few. We Juniors, Yet what in life are we to do? The door to Seniorhood is seen; New vistas open for us wide; Shall we in pastures green abide? Great hopes, great hopes, dear old Fifteen !
