■ The 1922 Reveille 25 ‘ Twenty-One We cannot help but “pat ourselves on the back when we think what tile- class of 1921 has accomplished and achieved in four years of Kenyon life. Like all other Freshmen, we were a “motley crew when we assembled on the night of September 24, 1917, for the annual Cane Rush, which gave us our first chance to get accpiainted. It seenml that we were invested with true Kenyon spirit from the start. Coming as we did when the war period was nearing its peak, it soon be- came evident that ours was the class looked upon to carry Kenyon through if the war continued. Although we were young in years, many of us felt the call to the colors, but hesitated, believing that our time would come and that our purpose for the time being was at college. Ilow much Kenyon spirit we ab- sorbed and how sincere were our endeavors may be judged bv the Kenyon of today. We came back our Sophomore year only to be confronted with the S. A. T. C. Once more we were put to the test and again we came out with Hying colors. After the disbanding of the “Kenyon army a large percentage of our class came back as was also the case in our Junior year. The class of 1921 has been a class of “stickers.” And now we come to the end of the dream. Our college days are over, but our love and labor for Kenyon will never end. We believe that we are so full of the spirit of Kenyon that our part in her interests has only begun. We started with thirty-eight men. Twenty-two now remain invested with that “never say die” spirit to carry on the name of our Alma Mater. Kenyon has been our goal, and friendship has been the means of reaching it. We have worked hard for her and at the same time we have enjoyed our play in college. Nineteen twenty-one has been identified with every phase of college activity, whether it be on the gridiron or behind the footlights. . We realize, now that it is all over, that no class can do too much for Kenyon. It is that message that we wish to leave—“Work hard for Kenyon and the reward will be great. What we achieve, what honor may come to us as individuals, we know will be attributed to Kenyon, and no matter what we do or where we may roam, we shall never forget our dream days on the Hill.
