Thus the weary Ten Thousand Greeks joyfulh cried out when the sight of the blue waters of the Euxine again greeted their eager eyes. Their elation is easily understood. Day after day they had pushed on through desert regions, encountering innumerable and heartrending toils and hardships, harried bv hostile forces, daily seeing their number diminish as their comrades fell prey to famine or the lance of the enemy, and now — the sea, whose billows would soon carry them back to sunny Greece and home. And in a certain sense the Class of ' 25 has had experiences similar to those of those Greeks of old. Six years ago some forty-one youngsters found their way to Concordia and formed the nucleus of the class. Since then six long and eventful years have passed. During the course of these years many incidents and happenings, joyful as well as sad, have marked the history of the Class of ' 25. One of its members, Arthur Thies, was called to his Eternal Home by his Maker in his second year at Concordia. Others have left our ranks, overcome perhaps by homesickness or dissuaded b ' the overwhelm- ing difficulties of Greek and Hebrew. et, like those Grecian warriors facing all hardships with courageous hearts fired with ambition to reach their goal, so also a goodly number of those who started out in the race, reenforced from year to year with new additions, have braved it out and are now about to graduate. Although this class, as a whole, can boast of few spectacular scholastic attain- ments, et it has the satisfaction of having worked hard and done its dut. ' . In all college activities, in sports as well as in the classroom, the Class of ' 25 has always been represented by a few of its members who have borne off high honors. With hopeful and glad hearts the members of the Class of ' 25 look for -ard to their enrollment at the Seminar) in St. Louis, to prepare for that noblest of all call- ings for which they are striving.
