Senior Class And so Millikin harvests the nineteenth crop from her educational tree in the garden of Knowledge. Each year the crop goes forth indelibly stamped with Millikin traditions, Millikin ideals, and Millikin love. Wherever they go, wherever they may be, whatever they may do, they carry to the communities in which they seek to carry out the programs of their lives the undying enthusiasm and eternal determina- tion that was their ' s while housed and reared ' neath the Elizabethan towers of J. M. U. In many respects this year ' s class is no different than the others which have pre- ceded it. Its first and second years were marked with the same mortality and the same monotony of former years. Last year an event which will be pointed to as one of the crises in the history of the college found ample exponents among the Class of 1925. The clouds were low and darkness abounded. But as every shadow on earth is but reassuring proof of the sun above that makes it, the crisis was but a forerunner of the things that were to follow. Entrenched in the loyalty for the college that had been their own for three years, the class returned with new found determination to vitalize, construct, and build for a greater Millikin. Cooperating with the new admin- istration, their efforts have not been in vain. Wherever able minds and willing hands were needed to carry on the activities of the student body, a Senior could be found contributing his share to the work of the moment. In a few instances the class has done some things which can be definitely cat- alogued as accomplishments of the class itself. To the Ladies, presented under the direction of June Fisher Miller, brought forth dramatic ability which had been dor- mant for a period of three years. The versatility of the class was demonstrated to a satisfying degree. Further demonstration of capability was seen in the float which so proudly bore the class colors in the Homecoming parade. But when we search for things which were done for class and class alone, we find ourselves in a woeful dilemma. No class lives for itself; it lives for Millikin, and secu- lar activities cannot be readily found. Throughout the year members of the class have been picked by the! Decaturian staff as embryonic leaders in their community life. Tradition permits that only nine be selected. Yet there are others whose leadership is yet to receive its recognition after graduation. While in college, Doris Lowe, Rosalia McCambridge, Alsace Sullivan, Consuelo Cummins, Rolland Moar, Neil Arrington, Wilbur Abell, Charles Maxwell, and Sam Smith have been honored by elevation to the Order of J. M.U.ites. It is to be hoped that the confidence and hope placed in them will be an ever greater incentive to achievement in the future. And so the Class of 1925 leaves us with the ever-present effect that it has made on the college in its four year ' s attendance. It carries with it a sentiment and a brand of scholarship and attainment which may be reborn in future years in many little communities in Illinois where units of that class have endeavored to return to the country a part payment for the privilege of education, good citizenship.
