. H 9 YVIY ll X 'm 'W 'l fl-he MARYLANDER me? Senior Class History LONG while ago, so long that it seems almost as far away as thc Middle Ages, the illustrious Class of 1919 made its debut in Mary- land College at that perfectly proper time for entrance-the Fresh-- ' rlvf l t 1 man year. Our first days at college were spent as if in a dream. But El 5 E E E' 5 F 9 L . soon the glamour of the first few weeks had worn off we plunged into our studies with a zeal which has always been a marked characteristic of our class. ' ' Although we only numbered six, we showed our strength and spirit by win- ning the Poster Rush from the Sophomore Class. In the spring our sister class, the Juniors, took us down the bay and entertained us that night at the Maryland. Later in the year we entertained the Juniors at a feed in the gym. In the fall many others joined the original six, and our Sophomore Class boasted 40 members. This year we lost the Poster Rush to the Freshman Class, but we were good losers, and showed renewed spirit when in the Thanksgiving basketball game we defeated the Freshman Class. On the Ilth day of May we entertained our sister class, the Seniors, at a theater party to see Tiger Rose. With the opening of college in October, 1917, the majority of our class re- turned happy in the knowledge of being upper classmen, and immediately pro- ceeded to enjoy the privileges and honors that were befitting to our position, under the guidance of Hazel 'I-Ianch. During the fall semester we entertanied the Seniors at Ford's Theater. The hand of fate seemed against us, and after a very hard and well-fought battle we lost the Thanksgiving basketball game to the Seniors. On Junior Day we entertained our sister class, the Freshmen, by an all-day picnic, having Mr. and Mrs. Rouse as guests. The next day Mr. Rouse entertained our class at the Villa in honor of Mr. Rouse's birthday. Every one knows the value of getting together and learning to know one's classmates. So, to accomplish this, we had a tent, the meeting place of our most secret gatherings and the place of all our parties and good times. Last October the time came when we should enter the gates of Maryland with a feeling of added responsibility, for now we were Seniors, and as such it behooved us to uphold the standard which the name implies and to win the respect of underclassmen by our dignified conduct. Our number is not as large as last yearg still we are a band of I6 loyal spirits, led and guided by one who has proven herself by her valient leadership, Hazel Hanch. , As a proof of their good feeling, the juniors entertained us at junior Fol- lies, which were very much enjoyed by all. Our highest ambition was realized when we donned our caps and gowns, the outer semblance of our newly acquired dignity. That evening of dignity, pride, nervousness-and stiff collars-shall we ever forget? rm'-'- 'l1919lm- 'mm Eighty 'bb'

Aw me MARYLANDER On Valentine Day the Faculty entertained us at tea in their parlor. It was B an afternoon of pleasure which will long be remembered. Q April IQ is a red-letter day on our calendar, for it was then that we were so royally entertained by President and Mrs. Rouse with a dance at the Villa. This Q evening holds a prominent place among our pleasant memories of Senior year, Our sister class, the Sophomores, graciously entertained us on the lawn with a japanese fete, proving themselves clever hostesses and a sister class of which 5 we could well be proud. H The time of commencement is at handy the four years of Nineteen's career in Maryland are.overg our frolics, our faults, our joys, our sorrows, our ambi- H tions, our achievements have lost their reality and are now but remembranees and E ' printed statements on the pages of our annual. Though we will not be classmates again, our feelings of true friendship and sympathy will never cease. Wherever we may go, whatever may be our life-calling, we will always carry with us the H spirit and the ideals we have built during the last four years. .
