fa ©Ijr Junior Class History From verdant hills and rich valleys, growing cities and picturesque mountains, came a group of earth’s noblest sons and daughters in the fall of’21, to adorn the stately doors of Emory and Henry College. Their arrival signified ability and desire for learning, keeping as their motto, “Go to your work, be strong, halting not for an instant dole of praise; but he men in the world of men.” They were pressing onward to the goal of graduation. When that day arrives Emory and Henry will he blessed for having such noble characters to call alumni. On the athletic field the members have taken their parts; they have carried the football over the gridiron; they have danced over the basket-ball court; they have turned the baseball games into a track meet, and above all these, some have played “Hide and go Seek” with the Co-Eds until they have fallen in love, and now we find some of them lost with memories’ dearest possessions. There are others who will study law, wave the statutes in the face of the jury to protect those unfortunate members who are about to he adorned with the stripes. Still there arc those who will some day stand in the pulpit and proclaim the Gospel and we will not he surprised to find their shoulders decked with a Bishop’s robe. These thirty members are the children of Emory and Henry gone forth to plant the ideals and establish the truth in order that the nation might prosper, and that they may not count themselves as lost sheep in the pasture fields of the world. We feel that the class is leaving an enviable record behind her, as they round the third lap of their college life, having worn off the greenness as freshmanhood and weathered successfully the sophistication of sophomority; they have settled down to real work and feel that the high ideals which our admirable faculty has instilled in them are bearing already. They have proven themselves loyal and true as any class toward the building of an ever higher, nobler and better Emory and Henry. This class will some day contribute glory to the colors of Lemon and Blue. 75
