' iM ' M-:p :!l -K:;SS M and Treasurer. ' e enjoyed yevy mucli the social e -ents of the year, our own class socials being still fresh in our minds. Our belo -ed Profs exercised a great deal of patience and wisdom in managing us. and by the end of the vear we were firmly convinced that what we did not know was not worth knowing. Next year the Class of ' 15 reassembled on the old campus, no longer fresh and green, but as imposing and self-important Sophomores. The class was reorganized with an enrollment of si.xteen, and the following were elected as officers: ' . G. Forbes. President; Clyde Hendri.x, ' ice-President : Ruth Vatkins.

Of all the e -ents of the year, none w as enjoyed so mucli as the day we took our dearly beloved Seniors up to Watauga River. The day was ideal ( ?), and we crowded it with fun, but old J. Pluvius proved unkind and we returned home drenched, but happ}-. We paid the entire expenses of Commencement exercises b) ' the presentation of The Rose o ' Plymouth Town. which was the greatest success along the dramatic line that Milligan has ever known. Our history is drawing to a close. As Seniors, we have enjoyed with dignity the special privileges which liax ' e been granted to us, such as going to town hen Prexy said we could and being allowed to go to Sunday school and church and to cut a class occasionally without threats of expulsion. We have enjo} ' ed these pri -ileges, and it is our desire as a class to record a special 19
