The Nincieen Fourteen Advium Page Twenty-two SENIOR POEM You love to walk ' neath the open sky. Neighbor o ' Mine, Neig ' hbor o ' Mine, To pause and watch the world go by. Neighbor o ' Mine, Neighbor o ' Mine. You gaze in the depths of waters still; You face the wind on the highest hill. And rove o ' er the land the farmers till. Neighbor o ' Mine. And when you have lost — ah, yes, it is then. Neighbor o ' Mine, Neighbor o ' Mine, You show your worth to your fellcwmen, Neighbor o ' Mine, Neighbor o ' Mine. Though they tear down all that you strive to rear. You carry your, sorrow with never a tear And turn to the morrow with never a fear. Neighbor o ' Mine. You live your life with never a doubt. Neighbor o ' Mine, Neighbor o ' Mine, And come to your task with a heart so stout. Neighbor o ' Mine, Neighbor o ' Mine, That all the world has a love for you. You accomplish your work with no more ado — I wonder if I could do so too. Neighbor o ' Mine. Teach me the path that you have trod. Neighbor o ' Mine, Neighbor o ' Mine, With face to the front as you pass ' neath the rod. Neighbor o ' Mine, Neighbor o ' Mine. Then I can walk with a heart as light; With thy own faith that all is right. And never wince as I come to the ni?ht. Neighbor o ' Mine. — L. J. B

Denisnn Unhnrsilv. Granville, Ohio HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS II has been said that an illustrious class enters a college every four years, and it is with pride that the Class of 1914 claims that exceptional honor. Although when we entered our number was smaller than that of the preceding freshmen, nevertheless the intervening years have made little impression on the original size. As seniors our ranks of ninety strong are larger than any recent graduating class. The goals reached by individuals and by the class as a whole, have not been a matter of luck, but have been attained through hard work, for we have learned that if we want anything we must go after it — hard. One of the first victories in our history was made by the boys in the flag rush one fall morning in 1910. This was merely the start, and since then in all lines of athletics, 1914 has had some part either great or small. The ' Varsity basketball team has had worthy members of this class among its rank every year, and this season, the two most notev. ' orthy players are its representa- tives. No less a place have we held in track, as well as inter-state meets. In the freshman and sophomore years our good work on various teams had made a fine beginning, and this year five 1914 members have been important players in football. Every year has been marked by some unusual social stunt. Th.e first event of the four years was an informal party given in the symnasium in early December, and ever since that time, social affairs have been given their due place. At both the Junior banquet and the 1914 Washington banquet, the members of this class made speeches which were a credit to the blue and white. In many directions the girls have shown their spirit and ability. For two years a member of our class took the prize in archery, and in tennis and basketball our girls have not been far behind. In musical li nes also the girls have been diligent, and for two years the Shepardson Glee Club has been under the direction of two 1914 girls, and another promises to make a mark with her musical compositions. Throughout our college course we have shown ourselves to be worthy of responsibility and capable of work,, and for this reason our years have been pleasant ones, for work fits us to know, to grow, and to enjoy.

Cabinet (3) ; Debating Coun- cil (4). Rufus IS truly an accomplished lady. She knows Domestic Science from pantry to parlor; and such a knowledge involves heart, head and hands. ' Last year Ruth ' s heart was in Granville, but now it is many miles from here. However Rufus IS still teaching many freshmen to make menus and pies. ALBERT A. AKERS, Ph.B., Alpha Delta Phi, Phi Mu Alpha Central High School, Cleveland, 1910; Reserve, 1911-12; Glee Club (3, 4); D. D. D. Ch. (4) ; Chimes of Normandy. Al came here to a good school after trying two years of the Reserve life. He IS quite a guy but not much of a Sem fusser. As soon as he could get a town girl he hitched up to her and is still tied. His manly figure is a little spoiled by his round shoulders, which he got by stooping over to wash the top of hic face.

BAILEY, Ph.B., Thalia Highland Park High School, 1910; Adytum Board (3); Secretary Thalia (3); President Thalia (4). What will Shepardson do without Hazella ? Who will pilot Illinois ' young hopefuls to Denison next year. She finds her greatest joy, and her chief worry in serving on committees and in running Thalia. This busy life does not prevent Hazella from being a student. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiy
