Senior Poem To the shore of a sunlit sea dri en on by a billow white, Aglow with the light of hope, on the breast of a green wave nursed, A bubble of ' wondrous hue in a million colors light. Leaped with a gleam of joy and the goal attained — it burst. To the time of last good-bys where comes the parting way, Aglow with the light of youth, with hope so high in each heart, A class of promise true, with mien both grave and gay, Come with a smile, a sigh and the goal attained — we part. The bubble, in tiny parts, to its home the sea returned. For from such part3 the world the Maker did compose. Though your small place in this life is not for what you’ve yearned. Go search it out and at the end you’ll find — “He knows.” K. C., ’19. Senior History O compress the history of the Senior Class of 1919 into a few sentences and phrases for an Annual is im- possible. Even to chronicle a few of the most impor- tant accomplishments, and do it justice, would tax the power and skill of a pen far abler than mine; for the life of this class since entrance into Hillman College has been too pregnant with possibilities and achievements. It was about September, 1915, that the members of this class en- tered on the pursuit of knowledge with a sure and joyous instinct, deter- mined not to become terror-stricken by the seemingly unsurmountable assignments. Seniordom is not reached by a single bound, but by the vir- tue of four years of persistent plodding over the paths that were appar- ently at times strong and mountainous, and now they realize that these trials were only preparatory for the enjoyments that follow where the path will lead through peaceful valleys strewn whh happiness ar.d blessing. This class needs no horn to herald its fame. It has a record de- serving in every point to grace the history of the college; it has been such to reflect honor on the respective homes of its members, wherever these homes may be. This class stands for all that is sincere, noble, upright, honest and true, and if, as some venerable sage has said, “The history of the past is the mirror of the future,” glorious indeed is the future of the Class of 1919.
