mxm All in all, we arc able lo lay truthfully that our claw made an exceptional record. We were represented on the gridiron by at least one all-state football man and several other men of great ability in the art of carrying the pigskin. Those of us who were not in the game were always right there on the sidelines cheering our team to victory. We are particularly proud of our representatives on the bateball diamond. Two of the greatest pitchers of the state went from our class, and won laurels for themselves and for Furman. These two men showed up well against some of the best teams in the South. We would not forget the literary phase of our work, but rather would we seek to lay great emphasis upon it. Many of our men have won distinction in their respective fields of literary endeavor. Perhaps none of us will develop into Shakcspeares. Wordsworths, or Wcbsters, but we shall count upon many to reach the honor and fame which rest in store only for the men who arc worthy. In the inter-society debate a man of our class won the medal which was offered for the best individual debater. With the end of the session of 1920-21. the first three years of our college life came to a close, and we turned away with a sigh of relief. Three reels had been enacted, and we were ready to begin the fourth. Now. as we come to review the last year, we are joyful; yet through all our joy runs a thread of sadness. We are sod because we must go out from these halls which we have grown to love; because we must separate from the friends we have made here; and because we are to part contact with the noble faculty which has guided us so straight through all difficulties. Wherever our paths may lead, we shall never forget our Alma Mater, but shall always strive to do honor to her name. We would not boast of our accomplishments a» seniors, nor lament our failings: we would only give thanks that we have been able to brave all dangers and to come out victorious. The road at limes has been hard to traverse, but we have faithfully held to our purposes. We note with pride the strides which our Alma Mater is taking towards being the greatest university in the South. One of the finest dormitories anywhere is now complete, and adds much lo the beauty of our campus. A beautiful new refectory Has been erected during the course of the past year, and now holds forth its hospitable arms to the hungry, plodding students. A large and modern central heating plant also fills a long-felt need of students as well as faculty. We shall soon boast of one of the finest gymnasiums in the South. or anywhere else; it is now under process of construction. In brief. Furman is growing so fast that we hope to have, before many yean, a student body of twice the present size. Let us all work and plan for our Alma Mater. We are indeed happy that our class, which had such an auspicious beginning, graduates during the year which marks the dawn of a great new era for Furman. With hearts full of mingled joy and sadness, we take leave of thee, our Alma Mater. May thy name resound with honor throughout the land, and may thy service to mankind be forever as noble and unselfish as in the past. We. the Class of 1922, must go our separate ways into the world, for. “The past is a dream, the future a vision, and our great task is but begun. I IlSTORlAN. 33
