HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS Four years of campus life has wrought a change in the lives of those boys and girls who enrolled in Gettysburg College in the autumn of 1937-3 change which has produced men and women who are destined to aid in solving the problems of a world which finds itself presently confronting the hysteria and fears associated with mundane greeds and godless wars. In the future, when we again turn our thoughts to Gettysburg, we must inevitably recall the events which transpired during these formative four years. Always shall we remember those ignomin- ious freshman customs with G-burg,s last red dinks, the somewhat humiliating punishments meted out to the defiets of tradition, and the mental and physical tortures of Hell Week; most distinctly shall we recall the part our campus ex- ercised in the 75th Anniversary of the Battle and the dedication of the Eternal Light Peace Memo- rial; frequently shall we turn the pages of our Mercury, yearbook and prize-winning Gettysburg- ian to relive these joyous four years; loyally shall we rally to the cause of those athletic teams on which we once played, the forensic teams on which we debated, and the societies whose administration we Seniors have attained; never shall we forget the plays in the gym, the choir trips, the oratory on the chapel rostrum, and our exciting social events-the Prom, the Pan-Hell, and those house parties; and forever shall we cherish those pleas- ant friendships with our fellow students, fraterni- ties, and ever-helpful professors. But long after time has eroded these glorious memories of our days at Gettysburg, the success of our collegiate careers will be measured by the moral and religious convictions, the loyal devotion to the ideals of leadership, honor, integrity, and social efficiency, and the intelligent philosophy of life which we have implanted into out daily lives while on this campus. Only after a lifetime of service to humanity can there be a true evaluation of our four years of college education-and we are now equipped to furnish that service; we now stand ready to use the tools which liberal educa- tion has shaped for us; and we are now prepared to assume responsibility and leadership in a world that desperately needs both. In the future it shall be the moral obligation of each of us to serve our fellow citizens as best we can in a fashion that will bestow credit upon our class and upon our alma mater. Class of 1941, let us utilize the capacities and abilities that edu- cation has developed for the promotion of civili- zationls hopes and needs-science, justice, and Christianity.
