Senior Class Poem No sadder lines a poet ever rote Than those which mark the hour for fr.ends to part; No dagger penetrates the soul so deep As kindly words which rend th’ impassioned heart. But grateful we, though now our day is spent. That others come our long-loved paths to hold. To them we hand the dampened pen that long Hath kept alive the treasured story old. Thou, classic walls, our dwelling place hast been. Thy strong, protecting hands our way have led ; We give to thee the laurels we have won And place the crown of gold upon thy head. Tho’ we have won, the victory is thine; I ho’ we have gained from thee, thou hast not lost; I ho’ stronger each, more able each to serve. Our highest aim shall he to serve thee most. W e must away, the final scene grows dim. The curtain drops, we hear the closing bell. But this one time, pray give us leave to speak Like faithful sons, the parting word—Farewell. Poet. Bonh omit?

B. comes first in the tlas$ of ’24 in more ways than mere alphabetical classification, lie is one of those quiet, good-natured, pleasing persons who is always ready to answer the call of duty, and one who stands for the highest and noblest in all things. IX B. has always taken an interest in all college activities. Also he has expressed more than casual concern in regard to a certain institution in Rock Hill, and this fact probably accounts for his having taken his high school education at Winthrop Training School. These few lines attempt to sum up the characteristics of a man we so greatly admire, and one whose memory will always be fresh in the hearts of his fellow-students. Ct RTIS StKPHKX Axdf.rsox. B.S. WOODRUFF, SOUTH CAROLINA I'hllosophlun Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Education Clul»; Tennlx Club. ’21. ’22. ’23, '24. Here you sec the angelic profile of one of Woodruff’s most prominent citizens, that of Curtis Anderson. “Curt” came to Furman as one of the many unknown possibilities of the great rat” class of 1920. But, during the fallowing years, he has established his individuality, and now we know him as Curtis, with all his easygoing manner and conservatism. Curtis has been prosperous enough to maintain a Ford during the greater part of his college career, and he takes his physical exercise in engineering it. He specialized in Education, and if he can only polish up on the phrase, “I’ll just throw that out for what it’s worth, he will, no doubt, become one of the leading Education instructors of the state.
