3lxutt0r (Elaas l tatortj Three years ago ere the leaves had l)edecked the ground with their au- tumnal lieauty and ere the summer liirds had flitted their way southward, there ajipeared upon S. U. ' s Campus, 50 h reshmen. Like a hunch of scared geese we huddled together ahout the Campus trembling in our hoots at the sight of the much hated Sophomores, looking with respect at the Junior and with awe and reverence upon the dignified Senior, lint picking up courage we linalh ' overcame our timidity. The year went by ami a merry liand we were. Success crowned our efforts. Commencement and the time tor departure came oiil}- too soon. In the fall of 1917 we again returned — but alas, not all. War had thinned our ranks. Som e had gone to sacrifice and die for the rights of mankind. Others were going so that we had but fourteen of our noble Inuich back. But with coiu ' age and true hearted devotion we again set forth. Again success was ours and at the end of the .Spring Term we looked ])ack with pride upon the school year. Again we returned this fall as before but again had war ' s cruel hand plucked from our ranks some of the best of us. But fortune favored us with new additions so that now we numlier twenty-two. I ' .ut 1h)w long? L ' an we be together but this -ear? .A.las five of our numlier are alread}- in the service of Uncle Sam. We cannot always be w ith ou. S. L . ' s gates will lie closed upon us for awhile. The rights and traditions of a Christian peojile must be defended. We go to join those who ha e gone in the davs that have passed. But old ' 20 will live on. .She will be with us. ( )ur thoughts shall be of her. Then when the sound of conflict has ceased ma}- thi ' ( iod of jieace and of battles, may the Cod of libertx ' and right restore us to our . lma Mater once more to complete the studies so faithfull - begun here.
