OUR HISTORY Senior Class History Above us like the angels that we are is a smoke ring like a halo. We are now seniors and completely convinced of our perfection. For proof we reach over and open a packet of Campus Reflectors dated 1935-1936. Oh yes, we were fresh- men then, weren ' t we? Let ' s see if they appreciated us ... . Freshmen You know them by their vacant stare And attitude so gullible. They drive instructors to despair With stupidities incredible. Sept. 9 — I can never understand why they have a freshman mix. The class seems sufficiently scrambled already. Sept. 10 — We have already learned that the fountain is more than a decoration. Oct. 5 — Dads and Mothers came today. Oct. 6 — Ninety seven cases of homesickness reported. Nov. 23 — We beat Lock Haven today and are now State Teachers College Champ- ions. Who poured the cheer leaders into bed? Dec. 5 — The Doctor said they were addicted. Their response could not have been predicted, for they resented that. Jan. 17 — lolanthe ? You mean those noises in the auditorium were an operetta? Jan. 24 — My Gawd! How do they figure up grades around here? Feb. 3 — Stunt Night. Louiszita gave a reading. March 15 — They draw aside the curtains in the chapel very slowly. A start of horror rippled over the group; Whose head hung from the ceiling? (A quotation from The Travels of Horace Mann. ) April 17 — The purpose of the Dramatic contest is to make freshmen realize they are in college by showing them high school students. May 16 — May day. Little girls in smaller dresses chasing around a great big pole. May 31 — Aren ' t we freshman any more? For a moment our complacency was almost shaken. However, a moment ' s reflection reminds us that true fame comes slowly and we were then only building. Let ' s see these for 1936-1937. Were we even really sophomores .... Sophomores Sophistication superficial. All advisors never heeded. Ever scorning what official : Education sorely needed. Sept. 8 — Those new freshmen are lambs eager for slaughter. Oct. 19 — All the men were in chapel tonight. Down front too. Certainly. You remember Miriam Winslow ' s Dancers. Nov. 20 — They said the referee was cheating, the umpire bribed, and the head- linesman crooked. Which means we lost to Lock Haven 7-9. Dec. 21 — The nice thing about Christmas is that they give us a vacation. Jan. 20 — My Gawd! How do they figure grades around here? Feb. 1 — Stunt Night. Louiszita gave a reading. Mar. 3 — The Siberian singers wear costumes as noisy as their singing. April 23 — Despite clear weather the Soph Hop was wet. May 21 — Some of us are graduating early: or rather, suspending our attendance. Well, those were our moments of relaxation. Why, we can think of some- thing we did as Juniors which make those days seem monotonous. Look, in these Reflectors for 1937-1938 we have Continued on Page 45 [ 25 ]

They took part in After his commencement, each mem- ber of the class of 1939 may vainly ask, ' Where are the snows of yesteryear? ' It is a fortunate custom that each class should try to crystallize and hold within the covers of its college year book some bits of this happy span of years. So may the CUMBERLAND of 1939 recall for the class who created it, an interlude of life which must come to an end all too quickly. Mary E. York and Keith B. Allan Deans of the Class of 1939 w Class Officers John Bay President Willard Kerr Vice-President Louiszita Simons Secretary-Treasurer Harriet Plough Historian [ 24 ]
