Senior Epic T sing of boys and of girls, who first from their homes, driv ' n by - Need of knowledge, came to Pikeville College in the year of twenty- three ; Seventy-five, as green as any and of heart as free. Seeing our great need of officers to break ground for the new building. Doctor Record, in solemn voice barely penetrating our dumb skulls, Advised to such a procedure. Under the guidance of some kind Hearted class teacher, who took it upon herself to lead our Wandering footsteps, we elected John Lewis as our first president, Pern, the mellow-voiced, as vice-president, and Virginia Gentry, With nose tip-tilted as a rose, reporter. To prove that life may be jolly as well as serious. One summer day found about ten climbing the heights to Duty ' s Knob And calling it a Freshman Picnic. In the spring of the year, our little souls had lost a part of their Greenness, and the springy-limbed McClelland took us under his wing To teach uu Botany. ' Midst many hardships and struggles we succeeded in Climbing the various hills of this valley and bringing down with us Our fift} ' flowers. In September of twenty-four we reassembled as Sophomores. Pem, the fleet-footed, became president, while John, nickle-grabber. Was chosen treasurer, and Ginny, the fiery penned, our reporter. Miss Katherine, the laughing, by sheer might and main beat into our Egotistical brains, the fine points of theme writing. Picnics and parties galore. Who will ever forget the hike through the Rain to Coal Run when Miss McGonagle was the only one Who kept dryj or the ride to the old swimmin ' hole when everyone Thought each curve would be his last 5 or Miss Katherine ' s party At the end of the year? Through these joys and some trials We came out triumphant over exams. ' Twas a day of general rejoicing when over the campus Could be heard the voices of the Juniors of the class of twenty-six. Our usual ( ? ) prompt regard for business brought forth as our officers Pem, the willowy, as president; Fess, the musical, as the money chaser; While Lois, the stable-minded, became our reporter. As Jolly Juniors it became our endeavor not to let our study Interfere with the parties which we felt our due. And oh, did we not feel elated when our business ability was revealed By the sale of sufficient tickets to pay for our lyceum course? And what a night of gaiety we had, celebrated by a big party at Ginny ' s. i gg - i r a zg - s i ia: 2 g ' ! gj g- ( ' sj zg- ys iiH o: ;? gd g -s j aj g - i i Twentii-four

We now began to make our appearance in the world of affairs, For did not Carl, our future great journalist, win first prize at the Fair? While Fannie, as foremost guard 3 Fess, the light-fingered, and Ira Of the Roman nose, fought valiantly against our basket-ball foes. Even to Pennsylvania fared forth ' ' Kewpie and Fannie, the mellifluous. Singing to the strains of the lyre, our treasured ballads of the mountains. A Valentine Party at Pern ' s, and then arduous labor on the Junior play — The quaintest play you ever did see. It was just an Economic sort of song, with scenes all laid in Gay Ping Pong, After which we merrily went off to Miss Pierce ' s to the free cafe. We played host and hostess to the Seniors with a banquet, and ended Our Junior festivities at Edith ' s villa where she entertained us With croquet and rain. And now we are Seniors, the mighty! The first seniors ever to march through The stately halls of the new Administration Building. Speedily our class organization was completed, with Pem president, Lois, vice-president, and Teal, the mathematician, treasurer. Jay became our reporter and Miss Spilman our class teacher. Without neglecting our social duties, we still have made progress in study. The year has not run its course, but it is already being filled with Happy memories — the wonderful time at Edith ' s 3 the gay gatherings At Miss Spilman ' s. Hardships, if such there have been, will be Forgotten. In our remembrance of the past we shall be sure That there never was a school like P. C. A. 3 and to us, at least. There will never be a class like that of the Seniors of Twenty-seven. A LATE BUT WELCOME ADDITION To our surprise but great joy, Norah Wolford returned to Pikeville College on January 24, to complete her high school and normal course, and thus to increase the ranks of the Seniors. Norah is a graduate of the three year course of Phelps Academy. She was in Pikeville College in the Spring of 1924 taking up the Normal work. Since then she has been teaching, a task which we hear she has performed very successfully. Though the months are few that Norah has been in our school, her winsomeness and readiness to take part in all activities have endeared her to the student body. The Seniors are indeed glad to welcome her back to school, and especially to their class. ■ S i ' gri g a g a 2g g ;g ' Ss g C :g ( - ' Ss bS S :g ' a g SJ zg Ss g SJ sg S 22? f fatf3 ' 5 ' ?:i Ttventy-pve
