ti iii] Senior Class OFFICERS Carl Bowman President Nancy Martin Vice-President Harriet Teufel Secretary -Treasurer Nell Hagaman Historian As old ' 31 lowers its flag, Lenoir Rhyne will bid god-speed to one of the most unusual and praiseworthy classes in its history. Its members became stu- dents the year after the fire and have clung tenaciously to their Alma Mater — backing it, raising its standards, and loving it with an untiring love. Good old ' 31 is the spirit of modern youth itself directed by faithful and capable leaders. Each member may consistently carry on with this as his life cry; I would not have my life be one of bliss, untouched by heart-ache, agony, despair — a pale, anemic thing: that nightly prayer is that with each new day I shall not miss high venturings, nor undeserve the hiss of envious human moles who never dare to touch off rockets in their souls and flare above their deepening grooves. O grant me this: that I shall scale Life ' s peaks, explore its glooms, know mountamed ecstacics, deep-valleyed pains — that when my last red sands by Time are sieved and Fate has struck my sinews from her looms, I shall have earned three words o ' er my remains besides was born and died — ' Between, he lived ' .

Senior Class History ( ELL me, Muse, of that class so green in color and yet so ready V to apply itself, who now is preparing to wander far and wide, after it has sacked the marvelous knowledge of Lenoir Rhyne College. And many were the textbooks whose covers it saw and whose content it learned, yea, and many the woes it suffered in its mind upon the college heath — striving to win that elusive thing, the A.B. degree. Of these things, O goddess, whatsoever thou hast heard thereof, declare thou even unto me. Now it was in 1927 that this Class of ' 3 1 came to Lenoir Rhyne and was received with the open arms of the faculty and sophomores. As all green things do. we, that class, did — we grew — in wisdom and knowledge. As wise fools we returned the next year and lorded it over the motley array of freshmen. Step by step we were climbing Mount Parnassus and with each ascending step we were progressing in wisdom. As juniors truly noted for their jollity we left Lenoir Rhyne in the spring of 1930 to return in the fall of the same year as majestic seniors clothed in a cloak of dignity and know-it-allness. Our knowledge and wisdom was indeed immeasurable although occasion- ally we were unable to remember the answers to the questions of the professors. We have reached the top of Mount Parnassus and we are view- ing from that height the prospects of glory that lie before us. What shall it be? Page Twenty-four
