HISTGBY responsibility. We edited the paper, we debated, we played leading roles in Owl and Nightingale productions, we put on a successful Junior Prom, we engaged in all the athletic events and edited a fine annual. In short, we became the campus leaders. This year we advanced into more executive positions: we were presidents of our fraternity and of honor societies, we gave our advice in the editing of the paper, we entered more and more into campus society and from our position as seniors we added sage advice to the bull sessions we sat in upon. But let us consider our time here. What have we gained? Our four years here have, whether we realize it or not, determined what our lives will be and to a large measure what our success will be in after life. We have gained the necessary ability to get along with people, we have formulated habits of industry and perseverance, we have gained those ideals which will be our guiding star in the world to come. Thus Gettysburg has been the proving ground upon which we have tested our materials. It now remains for us to continue to build in the manner our alma mater has taught us, to build our lives so that the world may look upon us and say, Hthere is a man who is worthy of his alma materf9 Gettysburg, we can ask no more. You have given much to us. May our lives repay you. 29

Upon the extent to which we have done this depends the value we have received from our college education. So then let us review our lives here at Gettysburg. During the first year we began to enter into activities and into the sports. But this was only in preparation for the latter years. In our sophomore years we earned places on the Orange and Blue athletic teams. We began to run some of the activities on the campus. Our third year saw us in positions of leadership and 28 Treasurer H. WILLIAM PHELPs Historian SENIOB CLASS Www-w.hmw..wr 4n.m,.... . A...n.4......-.-.W..-.f - e svmr
