PICTURES MISSING KATHERINE BIGGERS Rebecca, Georgia JAMES THRASHER Albany, Kentucky FOLLOW THE GLEAM ' Twas dark and late, and all was still From wood and vale and tree and hill But though I tried I could not sleep, For through my mind began to creep A thousand thoughts from out the day With such peculiar stealth that they Seemed weird; then deathly silence — Through my window shone a light — Mystic — strange — unearthly — bright — Beckoning and calling me To follow it eternally. I rose and followed on, Not knowing what I ' d come upon. Near the road I heard a cry — A sob so weak ' twas more a sigh. Kneeling in the weeds, I found A little child upon the ground. I picked it up and bore it down To a little house at the edge of town Where all the neighbors stood around The weeping mother whose child I ' d found. My child, she cried, my baby child! Thank God, you ' re here! Her joy was wild. Father, I thank Thee. I looked again. The gleam was gone, But in its place there was a crown All set with stars and diamonds rare, And I could feel that God was there. The vision faded then from me. I went to sleep — awoke to see Another day in which to live And work and play and pray and give. Father, I thank Thee. Senior Class, it ' s thrown to us, This holy challenge of the Gleam. Shall we betray this sacred trust, Or shall we follow, follow on — Follow the Gleam? IMOGENE MACKEY, Class Poet. [ 2-1 1

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As knights in days of old fol- lowed the gleam of the chalice that was the grail, so did a group of us students follow the gleam of the torch thrown to us by the men and women who had climbed the stair- way before us, and enter Trevecca Nazarene College in the fall of 1937. For our Freshman year we chose the following as our leaders: Adron Hollins, president; Clara Bohler, vice-president; Elizabeth Gray, sec- retary and treasurer; and Miss Amy Person, sponsor. The first outstanding event of the year was the reception which the Seniors gave us on October 22 at Centennial Park. In spite of the rain we enjoyed the evening, though while eating we did have to shelter ourselves under the tables. Through the patience and under- standing of our teachers, we passed the first two guarters of school, and then came our preparation for the Freshman-Senior Banguet. We could not give the graduating class the entertainment they deserved, but we did our best to offer them a good time in the imitation garden set-up of the dining room. Through the suggestion of our president, we even had a moon! Examinations brought the close of school and the members of our class scattered over the several states of our s chool zone. On September 19, we again as- sembled at T. N. C. We were sorry to have lost a few of our members, but glad to welcome several new ones. In October we met and elected our officers: Adron Hollins, presi- dent; Marie Olive, vice-president; Orine Cypert, secretary; Elmer Al- ford, treasurer; and Professor A. B. Mackey, sponsor. We were deter- mined To Do Something Different. Our first opportunity to do dif- ferently came on October 10, when the Freshmen walked to their recep- tion two and one-half miles from school. Through trials, tribulations, joys, and pleasures we have passed this Senior year and now we leave per- haps not a thrilling history to relate to outsiders, but every part of it is dear to us, and as we leave these halls of learning we shall look for- ward to an alumni career of even greater glory. WILMA GOLD, Historian. And we who would serve the King, And loyally Him obey, In the consecrate silence know That the challenge still holds today: Follow, follow, follow the gleam, Standards of worth o ' er all the earth, Follow, follow, follow the gleam Of the light that shall bring the dawn.
