Senior Class History Qin e':idl-QE3 S TO our Senior Class of IQOS it is indeed difhcult to find words which can express our great W Qu achievements and victories of the past years. XVe expect also to bestow great honor upon our Alma Mater when we leave these dear old college walls. For how could it be-otherwise :gk 1, since we,w1thout a doubt, have been most studiousg most courageous, most patient: most dignified: and most brilliant Senior Class that has ever gone from the L. C. Y. L.? How we have torn hair and burned the midnight oil and have risen early in the morning to prove theorems of Geometry and solve problems of Trigonometry, but of course with such marvelous mental powers we have come out more than conquerors. XVe have studied so diligently the Perspective Chiaroscuro, Foreshorteningu and various other things in Art which we now think so simple that we doubt not that some of us will be numbered among the master painters. We now understand perfectly the necessary forms of thought and of course never go astray in our thinking. NVQ are fully acquainted with all the Sciences, have delved deep into the regions of Metaphysics but, sad to say, from our study of Philosophy we hardly know whether or not we exist. XVe have become so proficient in our Literature that we are now able to criticize the greatest authors. NVe have also had the very best teachers in Greek, Latin and the Modern Languages, consequently we are none ofthe ordinary students ofthe same. The music pupils also have had rare advantages and those who are not already Paderewskis, Rosenthals, Pattis and Nordicas are happily anticipating the time not far off when they, too, will be numbered among the great musicians. XVe can not restrain from writing a word concerning' our conduct which has been the very best-with all truth it could be compared with that of the Angels. Now we challenge the Seniors of IQO4 or any other Senior Class to ever make such a perfect record as we have made. 16

Senior Class Poem To us these college walls have grown so dear, That as the time for parting now is near, A sense of sadness over us does steal, And a deep regret we cannot help but feel. But yet our hopes are bright, our hearts are light, We'll not lookout for foes so hard to Fight, But that the arms and armor girded on By teachers, shall proclaim a battle won. The friendships of these dear old college days Shall not be wholly lost 'mid life's afifrays, E'en though we part these we'll remember still, And in our hearts a place they yet will till. 2 I7 The many joys that come with college life, XYc'll lay aside to mix with toil and strife ' As older people are so apt to say, Go on to harder problems every day. Our efforts here are not in vain we know, In alter years we'll reap what now we sow 3 Each lesson learned, each task accomplished well ln all our future thoughts and deeds will tell. Our friends and teachers may our Father bless, And may our Alma Mater have success! Though sad the word, yet now it needs must come Farewell I Farewell, to friends and college home.
