Senior Glass Mister? HE Class of 1919 has always been a very remarkable class. Most class histories begin somewhat in this fashion. and then endeavor to corroborate the assumption by some observation to the effect that all eyes have at all g times been turned upon them. The radical distinction of 1919 is a con- trast with this point of view. '19 has chosen a different pathway to its destiny. The members of the class have early turned their eyes in every direction. Pennsylvania College in September. 1915. enrolled the largest Freshman Class in the history of the institution. Unique '19 began its college career with whirlwind Victories over '18 in the tie-up and the underclass football game. 1919 had ordinary human weaknesses, however, and could not win a third Victory out of the remaining first year contests. As Sophomores. i19 battled valiantly with the Freshmen 0f '20. and this time experienced defeat in no contest. These111anlyexperiences0fsports- man's victory and sportmanis defeat refined and unified the noble class and College Spirit of 1919. And so during the summer. fall, and winter of 1917 and 1918. when the great world challenge came, the spirit of 1919 leaped up to meet the crisis. Thenceforth the physical unity of the ClaSS was broken: but its infiuence and courage was kindled. As the result, scarcely a half hundred of the original 150 members were left in Gettysburg at the close of the Junior year. The other loyal boys were helping Uncle Sam in the Struggle for democracy. They formed a veritable army of destroyers and reconstructors. They represented the infantry. artillery. aviation, cavalry. the Engineer and Quartermaster Corps. the Army Ambulance. and the Red Cross. In rank they ranged from kitchen police to Captains. Those in school toiled with sci- ence. engineering, and social principles. They helped to preserve the athletic, social, literary. and religious activities of the College. The latter with the advent of the Gettysburg S. A. T. C. of October, 1918, either shouldered arms or broke rank for seminary. The passing of the S. A. T. C. and restoration of a college program in January. 1919, brought together forty old Class members, anxious to complete the Senior year of 1919, and at the same time deeply regretting that not more of the I19 fellows were in Gettysburg to finish with them. We have seen 1919 as a college class experience manfully both victory and defeat. ll'e have seen her members abandon class fame and personal honor to take up world service. We have seen them respond to the call with both weapons of destruction. and instruments of reconstruction and mercy. We have heard some give commands, and have seen others obey them. XV e have seen some reassemble in College seeking to equip themselves for life's great service, their efforts everguided by an eye trained on the future needs of the world. We have seen some building their plans on science. some depending on moral reform, and others trusting in higher education. 1919 is, therefore, a Class composed of both leaders and followers. Its mem- bers champion different aspects on every great problem. In the first respect, it fulfills the universal characteristic of representing the different types of man that make up a world. In the latter. it represents the mental attitude that is in the prerequisite of human progress. These are the propositions that compel us to think of 1919 as a truly representative Class, in the process of working out its destiny. XVILLIAM T. SIEBER, Historian. F1 24
