30 BLACK AND GOLD 0112155 liiatnrg seems as if it' wereionly yesterday that we gathered in Il Chapel for the fdrst time as a group of timid Freshmen. Four years have simply flown away leaving us only mem- s' ories-memories of happy times and hard work we have shared together. As Seniors, and all that the name implies, let us look back upon these four years that have meant so much to us. In the four years that have elapsed since first we entered the front door so grandly that September day Cthat was the last time for four yearsl many members of the class have dropped out. But those of us who remain remember the experiences of these four years, how as Freshmen we were sent around to the side doorg how we were snubbed by the Juniors and Seniors when we were Sophomoresg how when we became Juniors we had the impression that we knew it all , and as Seniors we have found how little we really do know as compared with what we must learn. But these are things that every class comes in contact with sooner or later. We all remember that first day at High School when Mr. White carefully explained some phases of the new life that was to be ours.

However, after a few months of hard work and careful study in such deep subjects as Latin and Algebra we began to realize that there would have to be many more months of such labor before we would get those dreamed-of diplomas. Being Freshmen we of course had to stand, as best we could, the indignities forced upon us by those Superior Beings, the Sophomores. This year was also marked by that joyous day of Novem- ber the eleventh. None of us can forget the mixed feeling of joy and thankfulness we experienced that morning at the sound of those rejoicing horns and whistles. And well do we remember how dili- gently we tried to convert our spending money into savings that would help the government. In our Sophomore year we had lllr. Moore, who had been a Captain in the Army, and he helped us to overcome the difficulties of Algebra. It was during our Sophomore year, too, that the girls' athletic association was formed and the girls went out so enthusiasti- cally that it was wondered why this association had not been organ- ized before. lt is not easy for any of us to forget some of the problems of that year, such as the writing of our first debate. We haunted the library continually during those days eagerly searching for points
