T ' jl.v« j hep hex Class History Four ijcars have passed; four summers iv ' ith the leiit th Of four loufi winters. ' ' — (Apologies to Wordsworth.) r has been tour years since the majority of this Senior class first came to Shorter — then lending beauty to the natural scenery by being so green and now adding stateliness to Shorter ' s domain by being so dignified. It is not often that a class is handicapped from the beginning as was this class of 1916. As Freshmen we were noted for being the sorriest Freshman class on record. And to think of being able to turn out such finished products. For no one will dart- deny that we are a finished product. The Student Council has about finished Jeddie, the Y. W. C. A. has finished Wilda, and the Argo claims for her victims a goodly number of the class. There are six in our class deserving our symapthy — those six who have been with us only three years, but who on account of unusual ability, deceitfulness. and good looks, have crowded four years into three. Were it m v aim to write up the achievements of the Senior class I would be forced to stop for want of ink. What have we done ? Rather what haven ' t we done! From Freshman circus to Senior vaudeville our class stunts stand out as milestones on our way. After four years of life within Shorter ' s walls, with hearts closely bound one to the other by innumerable ties and associations, we leave the halls wherein we have spent some of the happiest moments of our lives. r ady SI ' TTOV

CHAPTER II LEASED with the thought, the enthusiastic students forthwith made preparations. They divided their numbers into five bands, each band choosing its own name and leader. The leaders were Elizabeth Betts, Angeline Davis, Mary Saunders, Blanche Williams, and Mignon McClellan. According to the experience each of these had under- gone did they designate their followers: Seniors, Juniors, Sopho- mores, Freshmen, Academy. Now, unlike Jason, these sailors did not have Argus to build their vessel. Instead, six of the Seniors were selected, into whose hand was entrusted the construction and equipment of the Argo. After many days of preparation, in which material was selected from many sources, the Argo was made ready for the voyage. The tall mast Learning was raised, the sails of History, Science, Literat ire, Philosophy and Music were set, and the crew of Shorter girls embarked. Anchor was cast, and under fair skies and favorable winds these modern mariners set forth on their quest.
