THE DARDA Senior Class Poem REMINISCENCE AND BLESSINGS When years have passed, and we at last Approach the setting sun. Our weary eyes behold blue skies Of youth, while life is done; And we forget the trials we ' ve met Along the thorny ways, And live again in thoughtful mien Our happy college Jays. Our deepest praise, our sweetest lays, Our school ice give to thee — Our future aims, our highest fame, We gain because of thee. But still we know the debt we owe Is mori than we can pay. But we will strive to give our lives, ' T s all that we can say! To those we leave our place we give, To hold the standard high, Till all shall see that right must be The victor, or we die! Trevecca, thou must always be Our Alma Mater dear. Our God we pray to bless thy way Throughout each coming year. Lois Thrower. History of the Senior Class • There is nothing greater than the realization that the goal toward which you set is within reach. The senior class of nineteen hundred thirty-six now rests on the top peak of the mountain. As we stand on the summit ready to face the great problems of life, our memory carries us back to the beginning of our life in T. N. C. • In the days of ' 34 a band of brave soldiers marched into the valley of learning. The field was large, and we encountered many difficulties, endured severe hardships; but the light of faith, beaming serenely, helped us in our journey upward. • As we struggled up the narrow path, with the mountains of Wisdom, Freedom, and Dignity looming above our heads, many became tired of the battle and fell out of out- ranks. We who are seniors today persevered to the end. • Under the splendid leadership of Mary Sims we passed through the University of Hard Knocks at the hands of the seniors during our freshman year. But a good class cannot be kept down, and we came through without the loss of a soldier. • After a year of traveling, Wisdom Mountain lay beneath and straight ahead lay Freedom Heights. The beauties of Park Educatia, divided into many sections, gave us inspiration and hope for the future. Dr. Hardy and the faculty were always faithful in directing us to the path of Dignity Peak. Reeford Chaney gave evidence of becom- ing a great general by the tactful way he maneuvered our class through the senior year. We became noted for our ability to do things, and if we were not always victorious, we were always good losers. • June finds us securely planted on Dignity Mountain from whose summit we view the world in all its glory. We are proud of our achievement, but realize the danger of looking backward, and we turn our faces toward new opportunities. The class hopes that its departure will be more felt than its arrival, and that the improvement made here will be but an intimation of future success. As we leave forever the halls of Trevecca, we dedicate ourselves anew to the service of God, our Country, and our Col- lege, and renew our determination that, As long as the sand o ' life shall run our endeavor shall be ' to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. ' Mary R. Johnson, Historian. Then passing time will make sublime These ills which we must bear; What now seems pain will be our gain, And make our lives more fair. Our hearts must need with sorrow bleed At thoughts of parting soon, Our ways must part, but not our hearts, When ne must go in June! Page Fourteen
