Page 28 text:

Senior Legend Four years in the passing; happy years, trying years, years of learning; all for life ' s enrichment in spirit, mind, and body. Thus completes the class of ' 37 its memorable college days. Memorable for the sincere friendships, social and educational experiences which have been offered to every member of the class, all partaking of these numerous opportunities to their fullest extent. From advanced adolescence to early manhood, time has carried us through the most valuable phase of life. As freshmen we came in the usual way; green, awed, wondering, questioning, but all filled with expectations of the offerings of college life. Through initiations we learned of each other; our successful class scraps bound us closer together and Freshman Camp termi- nated the year of expectancy with further expectancy . Now we were worldly wise, the Sophomores. Greetings to our inferiors on an equal basis, but still our supremacy is known through our vigorous and victorious class scrapes. New blood on the varsity teams blended us as equals to our illustrious upperclassmen, both in everlasting friendship and the love of competition. International — six of our outstanding classmates off for study abroad. Spring air; expectancy again, we have reached the half-way mark. Junior year arrives, upperclassmen at last we feel elated. Dominant leadership is beginning to be shown by the members of the class in campus activities. Could a year pass so rapidly to our final expectancy of closing our college days as renowned Seniors? The time is here; from the frolicking Frosh to the serious Senior. What grave responsibilities we have to carry on, traditions and ideals to fulfill the name of a Springfield man. Our expectations have been fulfilled to the ut- most in the acquisition of friendships, experiences, attitudes, skills, and facts, always with an equal balance of the mental and physical. Still we see expectancy as our goal for the life we shall live in the future, and we feel that this is only attainable through living as Springfield has taught us. In such manner, fond farewell and success to all in the class of 1937. f 24]
