Mercersburg Academy - Karux Yearbook (Mercersburg, PA)

New as we enter into our last year at Mercersburg as members of the Senior Class we can look back with pride to the wonderful advances we have made. In athletics we have most of our old men back to school and still represent the majority on our athletic teams. NVe do not excel in athletics alo11e for we have such men as Botchford, Klotz, Simpson, and Landis K., who faithfully nurse and give life to our Academy Y. M. C. A. work, and in literature we have such wonder workers as Joe Russell, Homer Davis, Beuniei' Whitcomb, and Donahue. The Seniors stand prolninent in the Glee, Banjo, and Mandolin Clubs, the Karux is practically a Senior publication, as well as the Literary Magazine and News. It will not be long now 'until we are torn from this little world of ours, here at Mercersburg, which we have all learned to love so well, with nothing but happy memories of our genial classmates and beloved environments. li' we carry our life's work through with the same spirit and standard which we upheld in building our class of 1904, we cannot help succeed. ' Long live Old llflereersburg and 19051. H1STllR,IAN. 17

Eemian ietstorp To chronicle the many achievements of the class of 190-1 deserves a inightier pen than mine, but in the small space allotted to me I will endeavor to treat the class as a whole. I VVe were uncerenloniously thrust upon thc world i11 the year 1900. Alter arriving at Mercers- burg we gathered our few ineinbers together, and about these as a nucleus was organized our present class of 1904. As time grew' on, we grew with her, until finally in our Upper llliddler year we had established a name for ourselves. What would last yea1 s football team have amounted to without such men as Ames, Otero, Staley, and '1'ownsend? The baseball team without Bll'll1ll1gl121111, Per1'ault,Hoch, Lengthy King and Staley? Vlfould we have WOII all our track meets without Moore, Leavitt, and NVhiIcomb? We were also well represented on the News board, Ka1'ux,' beard, the Lit, Glee Club, and so on through the many school ollices. ' Our 1903 historian once remarked, When anything of importance was to be clone a 1904 man was always chosen to do it. And he was right. 10
