Senior Qlass History FOUR short years ago ' 24 class entered. They were conceived in greeness and unsophistry and were inspired with hopes and ideals of accomplishment which were accentuated by ardent youthfulness. To show how they themselves felt they adopted the symbolical motto, Green but Growing. Today this selfsame class, having been propelled by the selfsame motives with which they entered and led by these hopes of accomplish- ment and the joys of knowing that a thing has been well done, stands on the threshold of graduation. Now, glance backward and picture the events which transpired during their college days, the events which made possible the writing of this history. As Freshmen they lived in deeds and not words, ad- hering to the custom that, ' ' Freshmen should be seen and not heard. As Freshmen their class numeral was placed on the tank after they had won the championship in the inter-class football series. Accordingly, by this act they began to gain confidence in themselves and to take more interest in the pursuits of college life and to distinguish them- selves in college activities. The next year being the critical sophomore year, the year when students are considered to give vent to their desires of revenge and to retaliate for the treatment they received as Freshmen, was marred by a little incident which caused the class ranks to be somewhat depleted. In an effort to keep the Freshmen under serveillance the Barbers ' Union was formed with the eligibility of membership of the knowledge of how to use shears. Some twenty members of the class joined the organization and exercised their skill. By this act the union dissolved by orders of higher authority. A thing very noticeable about the Junior year was a property of spirit and enthusiasm which seemed to pervade the entire year. It was that gastromic occasion, the Junior Banquet, which served to more firmly cement the ties of good fellowship already prevalent in the class. Long will this occasion remain a pleasant memory among its participants. In this year also this spirit caused the creation of something new in dramatics with the presentation of the vivacious Footlight Revue. And thus all through the four years the members of the class dis- tinguished themselves in every well-meaning college activity, athletics, oratory, literary and religious work. They strived to contribute some- thing worth while to the college and endeavored to give as well as to receive, showing partiality to no separate pursuits nor confining them- selves to exclusive action in none. Thus having been imbued with these qualities which make the true gentleman under the wholesome environ- ment of their Alma Mater, they go out into the world fully ready to meet the responsibilities, face the problems and surmount the ob- stacles which may be encountered. Old Fellows, ere we depart, let us consider that motto which so exemplifies the unquenchable spirit of old ' 24, and let us here pledge, To our class, Loyalty To our college, Honor To ourselves, True-worth — E. T. L. ' 24. Page 24
