l ft i 'srjuigtq Senior Class 21. rw the records of human achievements, there are always some 55 gf events worthy of note, events that should be recorded for the benefit of future generations, and it is always with such an in- terest that the history of mankind is written. This history has passed from one generation to another and, accumulating down through the ages to the present day, furnishes us one of the most profitable forms of study, a study which has for him who pursues its courses good advice proved by our predecessors. That we should profit by their mistakes was the wish of our forefathers. It is our desire in writing this history of the Class of '21 that our fellow students may see our mistakes and profit by them. And, if by this record of our achievements as well as of our mistakes, one man is benefitted and is brought to realize the necessity of applying himself in every undertaking, our effort will not have been entirely in vain. ' Although we have made more than our share of mistakes, we have also accomplished many things worthy of commendation. The loyalty shown when in our Sophomore year the Old Barracks burned was very commend- able. We take with satisfaction the credit that is our due, but would not hesitate to direct attention to the wonderful spirit shown by the entire stu- dent body at that time. The spirit that has always kept C. M. C. at the top was keenly felt by every member of our class, and though it seemed hard at times to weather the cold North winds in our tents, which quickly sprung up, we found consolation in the fact that we were not here only for the bet- terment of ourselves, but that we were here that C. M. C. might live and that her spirit might always be felt in dear old Georgia. ln our endeavors we have always put forth that determination and have always had that enthusiastic attitude which are so necessary to success. And we are proud to record that we have enjoyed a good measure of success in every line of college endeavor. Our classmates have represented our class as leaders in not only the Academic work, but also in the Military Depart- ment, and in the athletics of the school. Our class is composed of capable students, but one may safely say that with a little more application there would be many more who would be among the first. However, we have a number of very remarkable students, who, it is certain, will refiect credit upon the teachers and the institution wherever they choose to further their education, or, if they choose to enter the business world, will show ability far above the average. And just here we wish to congratulate them on their success. Every member of the present class is proud of his affiliations with them. Certainly we have been bettered by their associations.

...JM x ' V I l '. ' .LEJ tf.'a'. ' ,. I xy N tl- f Members of our class have done unusually well in the Military Depart- ment of the College. Even in our Junior year. we had among our number four commissioned officers. as well as many non-commissioned ofhcers. To these and to all who have this year excelled we wish to express our pleasure in having had as our class-mates, officers and non-commissioned officers who have always discharged their duties in a manner most commendable. who by their devotion and faithfulness to duty. as well as by their kindness. have won our hearts. In the College Athletics. our class has made a very creditable showing. and we are proud of the fact that we have been so well represented in the various forms of play. Our members have shown that they were not only in perfect condition. but also that they possessed superb physiques. They have exhibited skill in the games in which they have participated. We feel that the praise that has been theirs is ours also. for they have always been devoted to their class. In the future, we wish for them the greatest success possible, and hope that they will always be praised as they have here. for their skill- fulness of play and cleanliness of sportmanship. History usually includes the leaders of great causes that have affected mankind, and whose great deeds have been told from one generation to an- other. until now we have a valuable record that tells us of their valiant deeds. In our history of the Senior Class we wish to tell of our feeling of admira- tion, and we must say. appreciation of the ceaseless and untiring efforts of our leaders. who by their inexhaustible patience. by their cheering smiles and by their guiding leadership have lead us over the dilhcult spots of our col- lege career. It is with deep gratitude and increasing admiration that we refer to our leaders. the instructors. and say to them they have our heartfelt thanks. We wish them to know that it is our purpose to so live that their efforts will not have been in vain. To the girls of our class, the cadets wish to express their great pleasure i11 having had them as classmates. classmates who by their continued faith- fulness and devotion to duty. by their kindness. by their nobleness and by their love have entirely won the heart of every boy. We hope that the spirit that has moved us on so many occasions, the spirit of knowledge. of truth. of righteousness. the spirit that will win success and happiness in the world. will always be the spirit of dear old G. M. C., and that it will thus continue to instill itself in the hearts of American man- hood and womanhood. If this hope be realized, then C. M. C.. the school of our hearts. will continue to prosper as she has in the past. Then there will be a cleaner manhood. a purer womanhood and a greater America. W. M.
