The Class of Eighteen W ith the last Spring-time of our college life, and our Senioral dignity weighing heavily upon us to remind us that the time to muse, imagine, and recall has come, we enjoy looking back upon our perilous journey through these halls of learning. W'e look hack from things ended, to the beginning of our amazing career, and smile indulgently at the irresponsibility and the care-free days of our Freshman year. This page can not contain an adequate record of our deeds of valor and our intellectual triumphs. W’e can only mention our phenomenal work in the classroom. It was in our work, too, that we first became acquainted, scattering from Science to Latin and being gathered together again into the ever-hospitable English class room. And. once acquainted, we were always ready to leave the Campus and board the first car or the only boat, by couples and corporations, to spend a gay evening around a beach fire. All of our parties have been social successes, and meant wonderful times to every one of us. whether the “Cstick” or the skating floor furnished the setting. W’e have become good comrades as well as classmates. Hut the glories we have earned in every line of college activity, the honors we have won that give us reason to be proud, are the things that should make up the written history of the Class of 1918. In athletics we have been most successful, from the glorious day when the Sophomores waded across the river, until now,—even if we crossed the same river the next year, and came short of winning all the football honors. W’e excelled in basketball, always having a fast class team, and having several representatives helping to defend I lope’s honor on the varsity teams. Our record in debating and oratory is unrivaled. W'e have been represented in inter-collegiate debates since our Freshman year, and our orators have entered and won out in the Raven, Peace, and Prohibition contests. And this year, the crowning year of Hope’s oratorical successes, has brought a climax to all the past achievement, for it was our class that produced the two winning orators in the M. (). L. contest. Words fail to express the pride that we have in them. Time and history have changed our class from what it might have been. Our number has greatly decreased. From the time of the first call of our Country, men of 1918 have heard it and responded, and today our class has a score of loyal soldiers in the service, who are continually in our thots as Com- mencement days approach. There are many wonderful college experiences to relate, but if there is one thing that we feel, and want everyone to know that we feel, it is the Hope spirit which has grown up within us. W'e are glad that we know what it means to be sons and daughters of Hope. OFFICERS Harvey J. Ramaker...................................President James A.
