JUNIOR CLASS POEM Let boast who will of his powers to bluff, Our class does not live to deceive ; We care not to brag of superior stuff, But we wish to make known what we believe. ' Tis unity strengthens federation, ' Tis unity that strengthens our bunch ; As good men make a strong nation So good classmates make college ties staunch. We shirk not the work that ' s before us ; We rely on the square deal plan ; We strive to do things without fuss ; And be honest with our fellow man. We delve in the works of causation, And are determined to know the effect ; We delight in out-door recreation. And stroll with co-eds select. As Juniors we would be respectful, And court no praise unearned ; At all times seek to be thoughtful, And hark to the lessons we learned. May we ever in the dim future, Prove worthy to old S. U. ; And then, as now, ever nurture The zeal that keeps good things in view. ' 12 Page Twenty-Five

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY •%?»; HE wheel of time has made one mere revolution, and with it we again present ourselves to the readers of the LANTHORN — not Sopho- mores, but illustrious Juniors. We have been most unfortunate in losing several of our members during the past year, but then we have been equally fortunate in that we have been adding, too, and will be adding, so that by nineteen hundred and eighteen we hope to have our original number realized, if not surpassed. It is now three years since we entered the stately portals of our beloved Susquehanna to drink from her fountain of knowledge. What joys and pleas- ures, what triumphs and achievements have been ours since then ! We have long ago lost all traces of verdancy and now hold a commanding place of re- spect among the upper, as well as the lower, classmen. And why not? Hasn ' t the class of 1918 always been doing her utmost to bring about a greater and better Susquehanna ? Our class boasts of athletic ability. We are well represented on the grid- iron, floor, diamond and track. Although our boys are not dazzling stars in our athletic constellation, our girls have taken a very active and prominent part in this feature of college life. Our girls star not only in basketball, but in tennis as well. Early in the winter term of 1916, students were seen about the campus and in town, wearing maroon hats with white numeral ' 18 ' s on them. And as one looked it was soon seen that the hats were worn not only by the fellows, but also by the co-eds of that renowned class. Our girls were the first ones to show their class spirit in this way. All through our sojourn at Susquehanna we have felt and realized our place and responsibility. This is especially true since we have become Juniors, and must help shoulder the cares and duties of upper classmen. So you have seen, dear reader, that the members of the class of nineteen hundred and eighteen have always been alert to whatever has been placed before them, so that we cannot help but foretell a prosperous and glorious future for this eminent class.
