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

B. Betts has proven the falsity of the old saying that love and books lan ' t go together. for she is a good student and at the same time is always in love with somebody. That is why her eternal ques- tion is Whom did you see in town? She has led us from the thorny path of Sophomores to the glory of Seniors. The best all around girl at Shorter, the best athlete, the truest sport, that ' s Betty, B. Betts our own president.
