THE BONHOMIE, 1920 q- ■ Senior Class Poem It is with jidnws and with anguish 1 hat wc close our college life. And, advancing with ambition. Step into the real world strife. For there's a time when we as students Come to that eventful day. When at graduation season Sadly lay our books away. Not that we arc to forget them. Nor our friends to leave behind. But that wc arc just beginning Our abilities to find. And with new determination. With the past to lead us on. We will seek the higher levels Than wc now have ever known. There is a ta:k for him that wants it. There’s reward for him that works; But there’s also condemnation For him who duty shirks. Will wc fail to take adantage Of our work that is our task? No, we'll not; we’ll do our duty. Thus fulfilling all that's ask'd. So then, my comrades of Class 20. Wc will take our place with men. And with courage, faith, and power Labor hard until the end. Then when shadows of life’s evening Come to meet the night of rest. We will go to sleep to waken In God's heaven to be blest. P°gc itocnly-tcvcn

William Tucker Bates................................................................Greenville, S. C. Applicant for B.S. Greenville has contributed her quota to the Class of '20. All of them have been good students, and Bill Bates has been no exception to the rule. Mis first impressions of life were received at Greenville. where he began to attend the graded school at the age of six. Along with several other Greenville boys he became one of us in 1916. A few years ago Bill moved to the country, but this has never interfered with his college course. Bates is a man who has little to say. yet he always gives the impression of being a deep thinker. Although he. abhors the English class, his interest in science is without limits. Nevertheless, Bill has one fault—he is modest to the extreme. l age Itvcnltf-ninc
