K .. . . , , . g II L5. History of the Class of l9l 5 E ARE almost at the end of our happy course here in Ctterbein. A few months more, and we will be sent out into the world either to fail or to succeed. And we hope for the sake of the dear old college we love so well that we may be able to do something that will help the world. We want to brighten some life, or to make someone the happier and better for our having lived. In a way, we are eager to get out into the worldis strug- gles, and to help in our small wav. But the sorrow which the thought of graduation brings with it is much greater than the joy which we feel, for our four years here in Otterbein have been very happy ones. We have made strong and firm friends whom we are loath to leave. We have come to cherish the pleasant associations with our professors, and we have come to love deeply and lovally the college herself. We are one of the largest classes ever graduated from the institution with regard to numbers. From the standpoint of attainment, may we say without egotism, the statement is equally true. Every college activity has had a goodly num- ber of representatives from our class. In intellectual activities, we have been prominent as each year we have participated in the intercollegiate debates. This year, the outlook is still brighter than ever, for the debating squad has more members from our class than from any other. We point also, with just pride, to the play we gave as Juniors. It was successful both dramatically and financially. Then we have enjoyed the distinction of having three editors of college publications. Not only in mental prowess have we been prominent, but we have a record in athletics that has been equalled by very few. Throughout our whole course, the men of the class have done themselves proud, proving to both students and faculty that physical strength is the best accomplishment of a strong mind. We have developed leaders in social, mental. physical, and spiritual lines during our college life here, and we trust that this training may Ht us for far greater service in the large university of the world. We hope that the ennobling and up- lifting influences made on our lives here may go with us, and may help us to benefit humanity. May we cast only honor upon the college which has trained us, and may we always be loyal and true alumni of our dear old college, Otterbein.
