SENIOR CLASS HISTORY A significant class history is very difficult to write. Inevitably each member of the class of ' 37 will renew his past two years according to his own feelings, recalling vividly certain joyful occasions and completely forgetting others. Still there are some events in our lives at Trevecca which suggest the substructure of that life as a whole. This is the history which we would write. On September 19, 1935, there arrived on the campus of Trevecca twenty-nine distinguished high school graduates, but after going through the bewildering experi- ences of matriculation and arranging of classes, we were transformed into humble green freshmen. How exciting were the first events of college life! First, on October 3, came the faculty reception, at which time we were formally presented to the faculty and upper classmen. After this came many more occasions almost as important. In the same month of October we organized our class with Mattye Foster, President; Neil Richardson, Vice-President; Lois Blackburn, Secretary; Virginia Ayers, Treasurer; and Professor L. C. Parsons, Sponsor. With the regular routine of classes, examinations were here almost before we knew it. A few days before Christmas, 1935, our examinations were finished and we were on our way home for the holidays. By January, 1936, we had begun to regain some of that feeling we had lost so suddenly on the first day we were on the Trevecca hill, for not only had our class been recognized by the seniors, but we had been made to feel that we were really a part of the school. Amid the struggles of the freshmen year only five of our number fell by the way- side. Twenty-four struggled bravely through the year. In September, 1936, we returned to Trevecca with the realization that we were seniors. It soon became our duty to see that the freshmen have the proper reception into our midst. Mr. Neil Richardson, our leader for this year, proved himself capable and efficient. Instead of an initiation, the freshmen were greeted with a general reception at Centennial Park. Two years have passed since we first launched out into the great unknown sea of college life. These years have been filled with many happy experiences mingled with some less happy ones. Today finds us near the close of our college days in Trevecca. However, we do not intend that our educational careers shall close now. We are looking into the future with expectant hopes. The wide world is waiting for us. We are going forth to face it, and while climbing the ladder of success we hope to win a name of which our Alma Mater will be proud. Mattye Foster, Historian. 14 !, '
