SENIOR CLASS HISTORY YES, ' tis the last time we will be called upon to give an account of the past for the pages of our College Annual. We have written upon clean pages four long years and what does the record show? Not indifferent to the seriousness of it all, did the class of ' 17 enter the portals of dear old S. U. Not unwillingly did we lay our hands to the tasks that faced us at every turn — but, has it been worth while ? If man could know beforehand that to pluck the wild rose from its thorn- protected bower he must first battle against the stinging points, ofttimes he would pass by the beautiful, not willing to pay the price. Through mountain passes and across wide valleys toward the sea of active service the purposeful youth drives with a determination that must not be led away from the beaten trail. When all has been said and done, and upon nearing the shore we behold the little bark in which we shall sail the seas of life, is there a hesitating? Never ! When a class has quietly and earnestly applied itself to the things that are high and noble, such as the class of ' 17 has tried to do in its brief but busy career at Susquehanna, it is not for one to fear, but only for all to do and dare. We embark, dear friends, in the morning of life toward the great unknown, strong in our youth, ready to grapple with storm and tide, ready to sing and dance in joyful glee when surrounded with peace and calm, ready to give our all to the cause for which dear old S. U. has moulded us. We are off to sing the praises of Susquehanna forevermore ! A fond farewell. E. M„ ' 17. Page Eighteen
