Senior Class Poem UR college days are passing by; Life ' s duties bid us stay No longer In these sacred walls. But onward go our way. Yet with our hearts aglow with hope. We bid these friends adieu. Go forth to battle for the right, With faith and courage true. The diflflculties we have met. The vict ' ries we have gained. Teach us that, while we ' ve striven hard. We ' ve striven not in vain. For when we ' ve solved the problems which Our heart and brain perplexed. Each time we ' ve conquered we have found We ' re stronger for the next. The lasting ties of friendship made While here in school we ' ve been Will brighten all our future life And cheer the heart within. VI. My classmates, one and all so dear. Each in her own sweet way Will add a charm to this old world That naught can talce away. While some perchance may teachers be And dwell in distant parts. In mem ' ry we shall often meet Within each other ' s hearts. And now as we shall very soon Bid Davenport good-by. We trust her honor long may live. Her blessings multiply. Ethel Terbell.

History of Senior Class » S IT would not do for me to tnist my o m memory in calling up the wonderful events which constitute the history of the Class of 1906, I decided to give the experience of each girl as I found it recorded in a notebook left open on ray desk for that purpose. The first one was our President. At home lier name is Clyde Thomas, but here it is Coz. This is what she wrote: When I first came to Davenport, my one great amliition was to Ijccome an English teacher. I cast my lot with the Sophomores, among whom there were only five or six of our present class, and went to work thinking ' original thoughts ' and writing descriptions of ' my ideal sweetheart. ' I was working hard and advancing rapidly until one day when our English teacher gave the Sophomore papers to the Juniors and asked them to correct them. I won ' t burden you with an account of that gloomy time. T shall simply say that since then I have turned my attention to Latin — and ' Hun. ' I am galloping along at full speed and leaving all the oth- ers — except ' Hun. ' — out of sight. I could call up many interesting tilings that have happened here, but I must leave space on this page for ' Hun. ' Of course Hun. (her company name is Helen Allison) came next. There could be no room for any one else to come between. Her story runneth thus : I haven ' t room to write much ; but if you know the la.st two years of Clyde ' s experience here, you know- mine. I came to Davenport last year and entered the Junior Class, determined to get as much out of it as I could. I got ' Coz., ' and I am very well satisfied. I don ' t think I could manage any more very easily. Next came Annie Nolley, the youngest of the class. She says: There are a great many things that have happened since I entered Davenport as a Sophomore that I might record ; but I think the most important is my learning during the first two years that ' there is always room at the front, ' especially in the study hall. I owe Miss Parker many thanks for teaching me. I even advanced so far to the front one day as to take her place. On the next page there was some writing that looked very interesting- — I mean it would have been interesting to one who is fond 21
