, . Q J l M AHFOUR YEARSH HFled like the phantoms of a morning dreamj A strange, fair dream, and now the sun has risen, And the-day's work begun. Yet blame' us not If, while we gird ourselves, we linger still, f Wistfully musing over what we dreamed. The four years of our sojourn in Houghton's halls have been critical yearshnot only inlour lives but in the history of Houghton College. In a peculiar way the first two years fled like phantoms of a morning dream -the cherished dream of receiving our degree from Houghton College.. Because of this hope, we, perhaps, as no other class, eagerly followed the last steps to the culmination of life- long efforts in the attainment of the charter for Houghton College, which was grantednn April, IQQ3. While we can never fully realize what this achievement has cost in the. sacrifice of individuals during the forty years of continual effort toward this goal, we feel especially indebted to President Luckey, the Faculty, and those who have gone before, who have made it possible for us, as the first graduating class, to call Houghton College our Alma Mater. The realization of this hope has held so much for those who entered in 1920, that eleven of that number have remained five years rather. than receive their degrees from some other institution. We have witnessed the steady progress which the college has made in all lines, and we believe that the ideals which have been held before us have become, to a large extent, our own ideals. The adjustment to the educational policy of New York State has made it imperative for many of the Seniors to carry very heavy schedules, in addition to much outside work. As a consequence of this, our activities have not been as many or as varied, as we desired them to be. In older colleges and universities, the Senior class has ha'd the three preceding Senior classes as examples. As we are the first Senior Class, we have found many problems to work out largely on our own initiative. Our attention has been engaged in part with the establishment of traditions, which it is customary to hand down from year to year. The Faculty have aided us in all these problems with lessons from their own experience. We first considered the matter of Senior privileges with the Faculty. Such as were con- sistent with the policy and administration of the school were granted. l Interspersed with our business activities have been those seasons when we gathered as one family group and learned to know each other as social beings. Though differing in age, temperament, and interests, we have a common meeting-ground, and there's a spirit in our midst that makes everyone feel at home. We are very grateful to the members of the Faculty and to the residents of Houghton, who made the pleasant occasions possible by inviting us to their homes. We are looking forward to the last few weeks that we will be privileged to spend in Houghton's halls, trusting they may bring enjoy- ment and mutual benefit from our associations. - The Senior Class is a group of twenty individuals. Some come to us from the environs of Houghton, others from more distant points of New York, several from Pennsylvania and one from distant Gregon. We are glad to have Miss Hampe, the dean of women, as one of our members. Among the others are teachers, messengers of the Gospel and those who have been leaders in all the school activities. In the summer of IQ23 Cupid's fateful dartspierced our ranks. We consider ourselves honored in having Mrs. Lennox, the Instructor of Oratory, as an honorary member and chaperon at our social functions. And we could not forget Mrs. Bernhoft and tiny Marion Louise, whom we are delighted to welcome among our number. A And the great question that the harassed Seniors hear reiterated by nearly everyone they meet takes some such forms as this, What are you going to do next year? And from the variety of answers, we conclude that there are among our number buddin school teachers ministers law ers doctors readers, and business men. - g , 2 2 Y 1 1 The years will bring us, hastening to their goal A little more of calmness, and of trust, With still the old, old doubt of death and dust And still the expectancy within the soul. O Father, as we go to meet the years, We ask not joy that fame or pleasure brings, But some calm knowledge of the sum of things- A hint of glory glimmering over tears, That he, who Walks with sanction from Thy hand Some token of its presence may have seen, i Beneath which we may tread the path serene Into the stillness of the unknown land. 7 7 7 lo l 17 1 l V ' -s I.
