':' - ,i ,,., l',, il....,.l,, ,HQL W, W., v Ode to the Facultq Twoscore and five months ago we started forth upon this enterprise, conceived in knowledge and dedicated to the proposition that all men are able to live better by means of a college education. We are now coming to the close of that enterprise, and are coming to test whether our lives or any such lives so dedicated make for success. We are now prepared to dedicate a portion of our lives as a final memorial to those who gave their patient efforts that we might progress. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this institution. Those men graduated who have struggled here have inmortalized the faculty and institution far above our poor power to add or subtract. This institution will little note, nor long remember what we did here, but it is our ambition to make them feel that their eiorts were not in vain. It is for us, the Class of '30, rather to be here dedicated to our unfinished task, which they who have graduated, have so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored efforts of the faculty, we take increased devotion to that cause which they gave their last full measure of devotion, but we here highly resolve that your last tuition shall not have been sacrificed in vain, that this cause under Mummart shall have a new birth of freedom, that the feeling of brotherly love, reverence for the institution, and the realization of the efforts of our faculty and institution, shall not be effaced within us.-D. B. Seniorctrospc-:ct Ah! here is a senior tree. Let us cut it down and examine its cross- section. It is a four-year-old tree for we can see clearly four annual rings of growth. To see more clearly the composition and structure of the cells we must submit it to microscopic observation. The first ring of growth contains many cells, though once green, now seasoned by age. Under the high power we may see what activities were engaged in during this first Year. We see: shotgun, sophs, party, pole, Whitey, grease, pipe, mud, baskeball, cover, algebra, raids, pigeon,, Hatchet, Zetas, cat sulfide, Cuz, victory, C. B. A., B. V. D., Popes, Patelin, baseball, caps, sacks, gowns. In the second year: Valentines, cakes, Junior, party, dog, colors, vic- tory, rope, smoke, stack, car, noise, bell, cuisine, pancakes, drawers, junior, freshman, Pope, stairs, hip, Hallowe'en, fire, engine, mule, axiom, goat, dorm, raid, Zetas, sulfide, melon, tennis, champ, Wex, Deacon, Hatchet, judge, rickets. In the third year: Come on Earl, victory, colors, Ford, Hallowe'en, chapel, paint, advertising, hay, rack, ride, pairs, pears, Oh, what a night,' Harry, penny, supper, baseball, Hatchet, night, life. ln the fourth ring we are able to perceive: hay, hurley, burley, coast- ing beebees, pholosophy, bug, party, Chicago, fishing, May, Hatchet, goofy, basketball, volley, Dean, Coach, cake, crumbs, No. 52, will. 7 gk 1:1 :Il I-I I:l --- fj-Y 714 - - --- - N -25-

aenevs . ,,s,.w,W,. Mr. me 'C' il' Class of '30 Twas in the fall of '26 a group of freshmen came Green as grass or fledgling chicks, but bringing H. C. fame. The stamp of youth was on their brow, their life had just begun, It is our solemn duty now to name them one by one. The first we'll mention on our list, one Eva Smith by name The fount of lore could not resist, so to our college came. From day to day she does her task, her studies she adores. Then for our own enlightenment a portly youth appears, McCreery is the name they lent for his use all his years, He leads the lambs at Warren where his preaching is a treat, He's such a careful shepherd there, you never hear them bleat. Now Mildred we shall mention next, she's from a town remote, Her hair is light, her eyes are bright, she trills a pleasant note. She came to school some years ago, so timid that she shook, Red blushes set her face aglow, and her they've not forsook. Then Clifford Wechsler seems to fit, he well deserves a place Within this galaxy of wit, where genius run apace. A pedagogue he fain would be, and teach the children math, Should coaxing fail to make them see, perhaps he'll use a lath. Now Mr. Bowen must be found somewhere within this tale, We have to have our Jack around, without him we would fail. He still remains the village sheik, the girls rave o'er his hair, With Polerine he makes it reek, and binds us with its glare. Miss Baker another lass, who deems the honor great Of being numbered with our class, may she meet no worse fate. She, too, may teach a school sometime, and well lay down the rule Unless Someone else should change her mind and coax her from her school. Next Donald Brodie we must note, a long and lanky gent, The sweetest bass wells from his throat, and he's class president. He's captain of our basketball, his heart is full of hope, The saddest words to him of all, are just these words-no soap. And now comes Mr. Wilson who is rather full of schemes. He tries to find a lot to do-at least, that's how it seems. He craves to spread the Gospel both in summertime and winters, To drive it home he'll not be loath to drive the desk to splinters. This tale is done, this song is sung, we now must face the world. By H. C.'s grace we'll find place, our challenge now is hurled. As we begin we're bound to win, we'll rise and rise and rise, We'1l prove our worth while here on earth, and someday in the skies. E -:I IWW 'IT' ' I -27-
