SENIOR HISTORY f vi j fc f l O remember that success lies within ourselves — in our own brain, our MRjk] own ambition, our own courage and determination. To expect diffi- culties and force our way through them. To turn hard experience into capital for future struggles. This will make the history of the Senior class. Our history to you is the impression we leave; your history to us is pleas- ant memories. Since the beginning of time. Service has been the one great ambition which has grasped men and brought forth from them what worth they contained. By this worth are we judged. To base our expectations of reward on a solid foundation of service rendered. To be willing to pay the price of success in honest effort. To look upon our work as an opportunity to be seized with joy and made the most of, and not as a painful drudgery to be reluctantly endured. This is required of service. How are we going to stand the test? Just as men are judged by their labors, so is an institution judged by its graduates, and in all our endeavors we should never permit that thought to leave us. It is safe to say that throughout our college life the class of Nineteen-four- teen has always been the first to further wholesome interests and to promote good fellowship. It is like a game of checkers and it is our turn to move out into the world. We can see the Fates clamoring for possession of us as if they would tear us asunder, but we are not afraid. Our one and ever foremost wish is that we may have dropped something along our college career that will be a benefit to those who follow after. Page TTt enl ]-six

SENIOR POEM FOUR years ago we entered here. When all our hopes were bright. To have our hazy intellects Filled with the gulden light. Tho ' our path was strewn with obstacles, Over which we had to climb, And many were the difficulties That beset us from time to time. We always assisted each other, As the days and the years went by, Until we feel like sisters and brothers Who have met to say good-bye. We ' ve traveled well together. Thru all these happy days, And now the journey ' s over, We face the fi irking ways. May all these ties be strengthened. As now we leave these balls. And friendships still grow stronger Where e ' er the future calls. The time has come for parting. When we must say fare-well To all our college friends. Whom we have learned to love so well. Then here ' s to the dear old class, The greatest S. U has ever seen. Long may the thoughts in our memories linger ( )f our great old class Fourteen. Page Trventy-ftve

SENIOR PROPHECY t j|5jteJ F. I X ( ' i called upon to produce our prophecy we were somewhat at a loss r SS t0 know J ust now t0 begin it- Many ideas had entered our minds, hut nine of them were in conformity to our idea of a prophecy. In fact we had grown weary and tired of the task when, to secure a little recreation, we decided to take a journey to the river in expectation of receiving some inspira- tion which would aid us materially in our work. While there among the beautiful flowers and overhanging trees which almost obstructed our view of the peaceful river, we began to discuss the members of our class, one bv one, and finally reached the following conclu- sions only by a definite analyzation of each member. As instructor of mathematics at dear old S. U. will be the destiny of Alice Mae Bastian. Being rather mathematically inclined and having- an interest in one of Susquehanna ' s enterprising young men, no other place or position could be dreamed of. To believe that Frank P. Boyer would become other than the president of one of our leading American colleges, would be to reach a conclusion with- out knowing him. We believe also that his great ambition to rise higher will can }- him even farther than our predicted position although for the present we cannot determine what it might be. Having a great desire to enter newspaper work and thence into politics. D. Edwin Ditzler will become one of America ' s greatest statesmen. Some time we shall hear the name of Ed Ditzler lauded by every citizen of the United States in connection with such names as Lincoln and AYashington. Paul M. Kinports will become a great minister in the Lutheran church and will occupy the pulpit of the leading Lutheran church in Xew York City. His great deeds will be praised as long as the earth shall stand. Chemistry is his hearts desire and so it shall be. Lewis R. Lenhart will be employed by one of the great sugar refining companies in the South as their Chief Chemist and shall have many men under his tutelage. Julia I). Liston will become a professor in the Phoenix High School, Phoenix, Arizona. This position she will not occupy long after leaving S. U., hut will become the wife of a rich Count and will spend her time in France and Switzerland. Upon these countries she will write a book which will make her famous. Page Twenty-seven
