( )f childhood in its beauty, To steal away and live again The life without a duty. There were no sorrows, neither care-. Our sky was all sunny. There came to us no serious thought Rut everything was funny. How sweet the memory of those days That passed as does the morning, And left us noaring noontide of life Without the proper ' doming. The adorning of the mind we mean. Which should be clothed with knowledge, And the proper way to tit the cloak Is by going off to college. But any college would not do — The best we wisely sought. So Myrtle, Pearl. Ike, and I ( ' ame to Klon to lie taught . We ' re only three years old. you see, You ' ll understand this when I tell you we entered here In nineteen hundre d and ten. And since that day we ' ve begun to live ' I he life that ' s really new . We ' ve thrown away our ignorance For knowledge real and true. We look our work in the L. I. course Of which we ' re not ashamed, It ' s what you put into your work There ' s nothing in a name ! Tin- course makes us true pedagogues And that ' s what we ' ve been seeking, W ' e want to get out in the world And raise the standard, teaching. ' Tis not the filthy lucre, friends, That we came here pursuing; ( ileal gr 1 lo gain the silver coin Would be for our undoing. True, we must live by honest sweat, For that was ordained of old, Hut to live and help another live [s better than all the gold. This is the standard we have raised And it must ne ' er be lower We ' ll hold it there and gain the prize. e ' ll make our home run score. And those who ' ve helped us there to look Upon the life worth living, We would restore an hundredfold If we but had the giving. Tin- college course ha- cosl us much ( )f anxious toil and care, But only those who climb the hill ( ' an the summit ' s blessing share. Anil if SUCCeSE Should come to 11- A- we climb round by round. We ' ll humbly turn to dear Klon nd lay our trophies down. Poet.

Licentiate of Instruction Class History IN recounting the history of the L. I. Class, we believe it would not be amiss to set forth some of the reasons that led us Elonward three short years ago. Having chosen the teaching profession as our life calling and desiring a maxi- mum of training a t a minimum outlay of time, we were attracted to Elon and the L. I. course. Here, in the fall of nineteen and ten, we came. Buoyant, hopeful, aspiring were we. Imbued we were with a desire for a broader life and a larger purpose. Before us there loomed like a stupenduous mountain peak three arduous years of study. Through all these years Myrtie, Lillian. Pearle, and the writer have toiled on. Sometimes our paths have been strewn with flowers, sometimes with thorns, but we have ever kept before us the motto, Onward, upward, believing that Over the Alps lies Italy. To tlie girls of this class all praise is due, for it was a noble sacrifice of theirs to forego the pleasure and enjoyments of home life, casting away all thoughts of matrimony, choosing rather to give their lives and talents to the service of humanity in another direction. During the three years they have been in college each of these young ladies has distinguished herself by studious application, constancy to an ideal, and excellence of moral character. Each has been a leader and a model whether in the classrooms or without. To each of these, we might add without fear of contradiction, has come the wooings of a lover. From the beginning our class has been small in number but it is large in pos- sibilities. If it has any peculiar characteristics it is the one desire to know and to be. In scholarship, we believe, our class will compare favorably with those gone before us. As we near the end we trust we are able to say we have kept the faith we have fought a good fight, we are ready to be delivered up to the world with its tasks and responsibilities. As we stand on the mountain top and take a retro- spective view of the years spent here all the vexations and trials have vanished. Naught but a sense of joy and pleasure remain. It is with a feeling of reluctance, indeed, that we come to the point where we must part from the friends we have learned to love so well and go from our dear old Alma Mater. We fain would linger here yet a little while and bask again in the lovliness of Elon ' s beautiful campus and in the nooks and corners that have become so dear; but duty calls; we obey. Historian.
