Senior Class Poem Our college days are coming to a close. The time is drawing near when we must part, But the future before us brightly glows And we are glad, yea, glad with all our heart That these long years of study will be o ' er. Yet. there comes a feeling that makes us sad, — Just think! The grand old times will be no more, Which often in these sacred walls we ' ve had. Of all who joined beneath the green and white When the four years ' battle was first begun. There now remain but six to end the fight, To share the glory of the vict ' ry won. To the future now we turn our faces, Inspired with hope and sure of great success. As forward we go to take our places In life, nothing shall daunt us, we confess. So, daughters of Nineteen Hundred and Nine, Let us ever strive with this goal in view: That where ' er we are, in whatever clime. To our Alma Mater e ' er to be true. Dear old Davenport, now to thee, farewell! Thy memory shall we always cherish. May fame and honor with thee always dwell, Thy noble influence never perish. Alma Dean Holtzclaw.

Senior Class History A CLASS history is always considered a joke; and there is no reason that it should not be. It would be too hard to write a real biography of each member and besides, this is not the historian ' s business. If we were to attempt to tell what people can and have judged for them- selves, it would soon grow more than tiresome. In a place like this we generally know one ' s good deeds as well as their bad deeds. It is not then the serious side of the student ' s life that most of you wish to know, for you can turn to numerous books written on this line, and there find something both in- structive and entertaining. Believing this. I have tried to give you a short sketch of each senior when not at work. Pearl Abernethy is the prophet of the class; judge her for yourself. She is proud of the fact that she asks more questions than anyone in class, and never lets an opportunity pass when she can stump a teacher. On Zoology Pearl asked Miss McNut how far the snake-feeder could see. Miss Mc- Nutt replied, I don ' t know, Pearl, I have never been a snake- feeder Pearl is an ardent admirer of the Latin language and be- lieves that all inscriptions for tombstones should be written in that language. Sadie Downum is a preacher ' s daughter; enough said. Sadie does all of her studying for Tuesday on Monday morn- ing. Could anyone tell us why she does this? It is reported that at the Junior reception last year, she was the cause of two young boys making their first appear- ance in society at Davenport. The Ethics class certainly couldn ' t do without Sadie, al- though she did start at the back of the book to get her first lesson. No one in class makes her definitions as short as Sadie does; for example when asked to define right, Sadie replied, Right is right. Fannie Fain is something: no one knows exactly what she is though. She is the author of a book on ' ' How to make a Rise in Analytics, and is very fond of History. Anyone de-
