Senior Class History HE Class of 1917, when it first arrived in Gettysburg, was as fresh and verdant as any other class making its hrst appearance upon the green turf of this beautiful campus. Our classmates unpacked their carpet-bagsf, donned their caps of blue and orange and declared that they had come to stay for four years and that they intended to make goodf' During our four years' sojourn in the environment of our dear Alma Mater great changes have taken place among our classmates. lt has been a work of evolution. lVe have become more loyal to our ideals, more firm in our convictions. VVe came with boyhood faith and innocenceg we leave with manly virtue and truth. Each man among us has learned to nnd his place in the world and has determined to follow the path of truth and justice even if it be a pull and push against odds all the way. Dur- ing our course we had to fight many battles. The way we travelled was not an easy one and the tempests that beat upon us at times meant disaster if the bark was not guided aright. But the shadows were always dispersed when we lay aside our books for a few hours and entered into the good fellowship and sport of our school life. We shall never forget our good timesltogether, especially the pleasant moments at the banquets, smokers, and at the l'Prom. Our class has had its full share of the pleas- ures of real college life and when we leave this place it will be with a regret for the good times that have gone from us. Our class has furnished men for all athletics and other college activities. Wfe were never strong in football, but we always showed the pep', and much. Hsticktu- itivenessf' Wle furnished good material for baseball and track. NVe were never lack- ing in our support of the Musical Clubs and college periodicals and societies. Our strongest inclinations were 'along basketball and literary lines. XYe are proud of our showing in basketball, the class has always put up the best men for the college team. llle have given to the Literary Societies and the Debating Teams some of the most efficient men. In the contests for oratorical supremacy we have stood very high. lt is not for us to play the part of the town-cryeru and go about heralcling our achievements. The Class of IQI7 has not yet begun to win mighty achievements. NVe expect the world to hear more from us after we have left these halls and have entered upon our real life of activity. lVe came to Gettysburg in the embryo state. Wfe were inefficient and cumbersome. Evolution has taken place and because our good old Alma Mater has nurtured us and cared for us Awe have become new beings greatly transformed into living dynamics for the world's work. But our schooling does not end here. Wie go into a broader held, a wider sphere, to take up a harder task. Wle leave our studies here only to take up the study of the world without. We are about to leave with a regret that the pleasures and friendships here are about to be severed, yet we leave with a joy that these pleasures have been so sweet and wholesome. The world will hear from 1917 in time to come, and when the trophies are laid at our feet, we shall turn toward our dear Alma Mater and say, You, Old Gettys- burg, have fostered and loved us. To vou belongs all creclitf' HOWARD F. BINK, Historiaiz. 32
