Class of 1916 Of course we won a debate when we were Freshmen, lost one when we were Sophomores, had a mud-fight with our opponents, the 15’s, and a scrap with the 17s. Of course the Faculty, from the first, recognized in us unusual scho rship and talent, originality and intellect. All such matters are to be taken for granted. As Freshmen we were once green, ignorant, bucolic and unsophisticated; and it is to be expected that as Seniors, we leave Park bereft of our verdant hues, our heads crammed with knowledge, our countenances radiating wisdom, our speech always that befitting the cultured;—for are we not suddenly in possession of the title, “College bred men and women?” Has there not been a marvelous transformation in us during the last four years? Has not every class since time began gone through similar experience of metamor¬ phosis? The world would be shocked did we not say we had done the same. There is no doubt in our minds that the Class of ’16 is the smartest, the biggest, the bravest, the strongest, the grandest, and altogether the most wonderful class that Park College has ever produced. Has not every Senior class suffered like honor? Now the time has come for us to leave our Alma Mater. As with others, so with us. We must forsake our familiar haunts and pathways, we must sever the ties of friendship which have so closely held us, we must pass out from under the influence of our teachers—men and women whom we have learned to love, and who have contributed so largely to the ideals which we now hold. We must say “Good-by to Park. We have lived the traditional Park College life. The atmosphere which we have breathed is the same which gave inspiration to George McCune, Frank Bible and Dick Newell, the influences about us the same which gave im¬ petus to our own Roy V. Magers, Howard Dean and J. Hamilton Lawrence. We too have imbibed a measure of that unseen but pow¬ erful thing known as the Park College Spirit, and as we scatter to the far places of the earth, it is our desire that we may still follow the traditions of this institution and bring naught save honor to its name.
