Senior Class Hi ory URELY the year ' 15 will stand uut in full relief above all the peaks of time. The formal opening of the Panama Canal is to be observed and the tlestiny of Europe to be fixed. The eyes of the world are anxiously watching the events of the East. But up in the hills of Lumpkin. Near to the valleys of Ha.ll, There is something happening Not being noticed at all. The Senior Class of X. G. A. C. is spreading on the finishing touch of Alma Mater polish and will soon launch out upon the sea. of life as a Columbus sailing out upon a dark unknown, and about a,s well efjuijiped. Just as a great event stands out in world ' s histor}-, so June 2d will stand out in our lives as a dividing line between two epochs. . s we glance back over the history of this class, we see many things of which to be proud.
