Wfe can not but feel sad when we reflect that we can never experience them again except in our dreams. Wfe have now reached the Hnal stage of our prep-school career. In a 'Few more weeks we will leave the sacred walls forever. as students, and go out to face the hard and knotty problems of civic or college life. But what- ever we shall accomplish let us ascribe it in 'Full measure to the inspiration we received in this old Academy through its broad plane of training. Arfrn Mom' Bnixciiv, IJli.Yf0l'f1IlI.

Yet it is no small task to record the achieve- ments of the Class of 1920 with due credit to its members, for not a sinole man ot the class was on the roll of the Freshman Class of 1916 as one xx ould most hlcelv suppose. On the contrary, our class is composed of men fiom sever al .different classes who have entei ed the class from time to time Ot all those who have I 1 1 i ' U , ., , 1 V . . , i . - . f - I Y . . joined us or left us from year to year only these remain. The members of the Senior Class can but look back upon their career in school with mingled feelings of regret and satisfaction. Wfe do not claim our class to be at all an extraordinary one, lest we be thought boastful, but we can not help from feeling rather proud of ourselves for having successfully mastered all the difhculties in the form of examinations, tests, and our many other tasks that have confronted us. Wfe have numbered among us many athletes, orators, preachers. and arduous students, who each under his chosen vocation has worked for the welfare and betterment of Randolph-Macon Academy. Our football, basket-ball, and baseball men have made a record of which we are all proud, and in the various line-ups one will see that the 1920 Class was well represented. lt was the Class of 1920 that successfully or- ganized the Woodrow Wfilson Literary Society, making the second literary society in school. It also published the Rmmiolzi Q11m'f01'ly, and thereby aided in arranging for the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of Randolph-Macon Academy to be held in june. XVe hope that during our time spent in these walls, we have in some way made ourselves felt so that our passing will but make the impression deeper in the memory of those we leave behind. In this 'formative period of our lives, we have made ties of affection and bonds of 'Friendship which we hope will endure through life, It is said that distance lends enchantment, and it is no less true that a long lapse of time tends to endear the scenes, activities, and friends of the past.
