Senior Class History OR four years, a mere moment in the annals of an institution whose natal day was clouded with the smoke of a national revolution, and 9 '.:- whose day of majority has not yet come, when civil strife has come and gone, old nations wasted, and new ones come to birth, for this brief period in its history, we of the Class of '27 have trod the oak-shaded campus of the College of Charleston, sung in her corridors, and felt that we were the scions of our race, the latest of her many children. Many of us have failed to reap the full-blown harvest of her classic lore: many have grumbled at her grim exactionsg many have marveled at her quiet grandeur 5 all have changed. Four years, no matter how brief a time it is in a relative light, may never pass without leaving some impress on each person- alityg and in the period of youth that impress is momentous. Regardless of how intimate or distant the association in each instance has been there is none of us who will not be indebted to each other member of his class for at least some quirk in his own character, some new development in his taste, some new viewpoint on some subject, and a consequent broadening in every capacity. And perhaps it is not far from right to say that even more important than the acquisition of information, even more important than the increased familiarity with studies and the science of studies, even more important than any intellec- tual or mental stimulus we have received, will be the unexpectedly performed spiritual maturation which has been the result of our casual, unplanned, un- considered, and scarcely appreciated intercourse.

GERTRUDE NVULBERN, B. S. ' Gertrude CHARLESTON, s. C. Biology Class Secretary, '25, '26g Vice-President, '27g Historian, '26g Co-Ed Club, '24, '25, '26, '27g Cabinet, '25g Vice-Presiclent, '26g President, '27, Quill Club, '25, 126, '27g Secretary, '26, Co-Ed Basketsball, '24, '25, '26, '27g Manager, '27, Y. W. C. A., '24, To do full justice to Gertrude it would be necessary to have another Boswellg however, even he could not adequately cover the subject in the few words allowed here. Gertrude's most remarkable trait is her ability to accomplish anything and everything without ever seeming hurried or dismayed. Though not studious, her natural ability enables her to attain excellent grades in all her subjects, and besides, she has taken a prominent part in student activities. The many offices to which she has been elected illustrate the high esteem in which she is held by all her fellow students. Knowing Gertrude is like being a constant patron of a grab-bag, for she is original and possesses a ready fund of bright new ideas. Even without the aid of a crystal bowl we predict for Gertrude a wonderful futureg for if she lacks a single requirement for success the dehciency has yet to be discovered. Page Seifeizty-one l
