ilaistnrp of the lass of 1918 Un September 22nd, 1914, there assembled in Phillips Ilible Institute a group of young men who became members of the l9l8 Class. There are fifteen of these young men, all of whom are preparing themselves for more effi- cient Christian service by becoming ministers of the Gospel. They are called Freshmen and even Babies, by their upper class men, but this does not affect the '13 Class, for they are here for a purpose and all are capable of reaching the goal which they are determined to reach. Prof. P. Y. Pendleton became their Class Professor and chief advisor. He is proud of these young men, and is quite wil- ling to be called a 'fFreshman, for, in reality, he is, this being his first year in P. B. I. In order that you may know the members of this Class, I will introduce them to you, one by one. Each has a personality all his own, which makes it difficult to write on the class as a whole. W. R. tSomebody Else! Ellis was born among the hills of Kentucky. He has become very much interested in the Secretary of P. Ii. I. It is not known whether he will continue the course he is now taking or assist the Sec- retary instead. Albion tLankyl Hedges, of Kansas, was born small but has grown up since. Ignatius tApplesJ Lee. of Ohio, is not very big that way nor this way, but is a good run- ner nevertheless.
