Junior Class History H lSTCR IS an account of battles fought and vic- tories won; a record of trials and blessings; a story of life ' s progress whether it be of the individual, the institution, the race, or the nation. Thus, we too, as a Junior class have a history. Whether or not Providence has led us through the dark paths of trial and hardships, or along the sunny lanes of bless- ing and comfort, we rejoice today that He has led us to the halls of Taylor. We find ourselves as a class of Juniors ready to struggle on, and eager for the time when we shall have completed our college education. As Freshmen, full of zeal and courage, we mastered the difficulties and problems which came to us. If we had looked into the future, at that time and seen what lay before us, we probably should have become doubtful whether or not we could ever be able to finish our task. But we set about our labors with a firm determination and did with all our might what our hands found to do. Disappointments, but also en- couragements were ours. We were beginning to learn that life IS either a problem or play. We decided, that as col- lege beginners, we would face it as a problem, and not as play. Our Sophomore year contained many events which we might enumerate but for lack of space. What was impressed upon our minds in this year was, that our supply of knowledge was very scant and meagre. We were beginning to know that we knew nothing and therefore, according to an ancient philosopher, were becoming wise. Not only were our intel- lects developed and expanded, but, we believe, also our hearts. 1 he peace which passeth all understanding was given to us. 1 he exceeding riches of his love was filling our souls, and in this, our Sophomore year, we realized that hde is a source of all wisdom. 1 he possibilities of a life hid with Christ in God opened up before us and we found joy in following on. Perplexed, yet not disappointed, we sought to know Him whom to know aright is life eternal. Success crowned the efforts of our second year, and after a profitable vacation spent here and elsewhere we returned to Taylor ' s halls, as Juniors. This year we are just one year behind the Seniors. However, if we cannot be Seniors, we will try to be the best Juniors, Taylor University has ever had. We are still drink- ing at the fount of knowledge, feeling that our thirst has not yet been quenched. If it be His will, we shall tarry another year, when final college victory will be ours. However, when the battle in school is over, we do not expect to wear a garland of roses, but rather a crown of thorns. Life ' s most strenuous duties will be encountered, but we can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth us. Since history is an account of the past and the future belongs to prophecy, we will place our illustrious and noble Junior class in the care of the prophet and permit him to foretell our future.
