W L-ax 'wee N i 2 ' A 4 QSM History Our class was: A phantom of delight when First it burst upon their sight, A lovely apparition sent To be a whole year's ornament. But, after undergoing the many tests of our mental strength, we were compelled to discard our brilliant adornments and settle down to a life of ambitious toil. Tasks, which, in their completion, gave one the sense of a conquerorg and when just praise was deservedly received, caused the heart to leap in proud gratification. Such praise was given to each diligent member of this illustrious class by our beloved instructors. ln a history of a class we attempt to sketch the life of the class from the time it emerges from the obscurity of the Freshman year on up to the day when its members say farewell to their Alma Mater. l will sum it up briefly. The events of the Freshman year of this class are in darkness. Not one of us are able to remember the happenings behind that veil which divided from the care- free life. The Sophomore year was one of deluded minds-each member thought she knew ten times more than she did. The junior year was the year of discoveries, we found out how much we knew. It was only one-tenth of the knowledge we were sure of in the Sophomore year. ln this, our Senior year, we are liable to many more discoveries. There may be in this class many concealed talents, which, if brought to light by some explorer of our innermost thoughts would startle the world with their brilliance. But even if there are no geniuses, there are some whose minds being carefully trained through all the years which led up to this, our senior year, are capable of promoting the welfare of the Nation by imparting their knowledge to Young America. Our greatest pleasure in our school-life has been in aiding our under-classmen in every way we were able and in helping them over many rough places with which we are familiar, having already encountered them, and we hope that they will in the future render the same services to their fellow-students. In this class of great ideas, it was thought necessary to procure a Pilot, Our Pilot has led us safely around many dangerous places and into the open sea where all is fair sailing. And did she desert you there? I hear you ask. No. She remained by us in all kinds of weather, fair or foul, she was ever ready to offer some kindly word of encouragement, or better still, a timely word of advice. And now as the last few days are here, there comes a mingled feeling of sadness and triumph. But let each one be up and awake to the opportunities of life and remembering our motto, Dux femina facti, be a credit to our Alma Mater. 24
