The hours of our care-free college days will presently be no more. Soon we shall stand before the world bearing in our hands the measureless gift of four glad years. We entered Park in 1911 with an enrollment of eighty, twenty-one of these having been graduated from Park Acad¬ emy. Fortunately for us, we were Freshmen before the days when the green caps rakishly proclaimed the degree of his verdure and the paddling machine had been invented for his edification. During the year of our infancy we twice tried our wings, swooping down upon the 13’s camp and capturing- two worthy decisions, namely, the Freshman-Sophomore de¬ bate and the Freshman-Sophomore declamatory. It was dur¬ ing this year also that we gave the 1913s their two weeks’ furlough in the woods from which they emerged with the highly romantic title, “Rustice Rangers.” As Sophomores we remember little except History and Economics lavishly dealt out to us by the bookfuls. Again we found time to do a little soaring and again we returned with the scalps—the interclass debate, the interclass essay and second place in the interclass declamatory. The members of the class who survived Sophomore year and still remained eager seekers after knowledge returned in the fall of 1912 to Juniordom, bug-chasing and proverb learn¬ ing—rare Triumvirate! During the Junior year we won first and second places in the Junior-Senior oratorical contest and sent out an orator and four debaters to win victories for Park. Then, too, “Simon” Chambers carried off the college athletic championship for 1912-1913. This year the forty-nine of us—and, by the way, this is the largest class that has ever been graduated from Park— have been so busy making our brief (?) visits to the Library, and keeping our manners and mortar boards on straight, that we have scarcely had time to be civil to our best friends, much less do anything else. However, we have entered Lentz and Preston as our college orators, and Brown, Walline, Parker, Idol and Roberts are on the two college debating teams of the year. Now, for the last time the old bell in MacKay tower has called us to our college life. We have fought our last class scrap, and celebrated our last college victory; we have cut our last class and flunked our last flunk. The lists of our college days are flickering low and we are loath to go. Yet the world is big and wide; charmed with the spirit of the unknown and unexplored, it calls and claims us. We are eager for the future, yet with reluctant, half-timid feet we linger a moment longer among those who know and love us to tell again proudly, perhaps vainly, this story of our college days.
