OUR SENIORS Seniors! Seniors! Seniors! How I wish I were a Senior! sadly murmurs the Freshie. I am nearing my Senior year! says the Soph.' and the junior gayly cries, Next year I'll be a Senior! It is the long-wished-for, long-worked-for state of College life. It is the happiest time of a college career for we have reached the goal that as Freshmen we looked forward to, and are now ready for our life's work. lYho has ever seen a grander or a nobler Senior Class than the Smith-Turner Class that graduates from the historic walls of Shepherd College this year? Every friend of old S. C. is interested in them and will want to know something about them, when they came, what they have done while here, and what they expect to do. It is only meet that one of their number, who knows them each and all, give an account of them and their work. I shall begin with R. M. Golladay, our illustrious class president. He is one of our old standbys, having been with us since the class first organized four years ago. He has often been called the Faculty's First Assistant and well does he deserve the title for he serves the Faculty well-when he is not Muse-ing. Naturally, next in order comes 0. XV. Snarr CHis name is not Oliver 'Wendellj for you very seldom see Mr. Galloday without Mr. Snarr . Mr. Snarr is perhaps the busiest of all the Seniors. He has the Picket to edit, his music lessons, Latin, Greek, and then, you know, there is Edith to look after. You ought to hear him make a noise when he can't find Edithewhy it would make a mouse ashamed of itself! Mary Armstrong is one of our brightest Seniors. She was never known to make below ninety, except in Geometry under Mr. Randal and that doesn't count. Mary is the kind of girl your mother wants you to be with, and I tell you if she hadn't gone to Harper's Ferry on a certain October day, six little Seniors might not have been Seniors. Mary's hobby is Impartiality toward students. Guy Crigler is the Vice-president of the Class of '12. He is one of those fellows that all the boys and girls, and even Miss Barnes, tell their troubles to. He knows everybody's business. The only big fault Guy has is that he has too many girls on the string-there are Edith, Ada, Ethel, Ruby, the Powhatan maid-and some more. 37

Frank Yates is one of our old members. Frank's specialty is baseball. He has one peculiarity- he has never been in lovexnow that's what every one thinks, but it is time that the truth be known. He had a big case on a certain little fair-haired junior once and every morning for a month he told his love to a Senior in Sociologyibutsits a secret. Two of our latest additions are Riner, Maggie, jane. They come from Hedgesville, a town famous for its good students. Maggie writes good essays and -lane stars in basketball. Our largest member is john C. Hupp. He is large mentally, physically and spirtually. If you ever hear of a man going around proclaiming in a loud voice that he is a follower of Carrie Nation and giving speeches o11 the liquor question, ninety-nine per cent of which are quotations from Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas C. Miller, you may know flzaz' is john C. Hupp. Helen Babb came to us new this year. She is known by her fellow students as the quietest person in school. Her future is foretold in a frat. pin which she wears and which has visited old S. C. before. Ruth Taylor is known as one of our most loyal Seniors. lVhen it comes to class spirit and loyalty to fellow students, Rufus is right on hand. lVe presume we shall soon see her the mistress of a home. Stuart Criswell is called by his intimate friends, 'tHis Majesty, 'tThe Earl of Pawtucket, etc,, but Stuart is all right. lVe don't believe all we hear about his wearing night caps and using powders and perfumes. Edith Gardner is another Senior who is very popular with the Faculty. Her chief occupation is being modest, dignified, quiet and ladylike. Her time is devoted to music, the Faculty and Oliver lVendell. Lula Vlfinters is one of the jolliest of the Class. If there is any mischief to do Lula is always on the job, Lula is going to be a great musician some day. Sammy VVilliamson is our great bass singer. I tell you when Sam lets out on bass up in chapel you think the roof is coming off. Sammy is always ready to serve the Faculty and is especially interested in taking straggling members of that illustrious body to their homes. Naomi Garrett is the belle of the Class of ,I2, but don't tell her so. She comes from VVashington and she has been evermore doing tl1e heart-smashing act ever since she landed. First, it was an 'II man, and this year she went back to a 'os man. and when he left, started in on a poor little Soph 28
