Senior Poem We hope to stand no more examinations, And at first thought we cry from over joy, But how can we accept congratulations As we leave the U. of A? Upon these grounds we’ve spent four happy years, We’ve looked with longing hearts for our ’08, And now it’s come, how can we hide our tears As we leave the U. of A? We love our Alma Mater as ne’er before Because the word farewell must soon be said; This precious spot will soon know us no more; Duty calls us away. We leave this place, as dear to us as life. To fight our way through a crowded busy world; But years from now, in midst of toil and strife. We’ll praise the U. of A. We leave classmates, teachers and president, But may we go for the good of God and man. That when death comes, our minds may be content. Farewell, dear U. of A. 31

History of the Class of ’08 In the memorable year of 1904 a band of strong-hearted pilgrims entered the land of College Life. Many kept to the straight and narrow path of digging, but some, alas! wandered aside in pursuit of youthful frivolities. Their time¬ worn guide, called by some Working-the-Profs, failed them in the lime of need and they soon found themselves lost in a wilderness of P ' s. Meanwhile their more serious-minded companions continued rejoicing on their way until they met the famous lions, Math., Latin, etc. Some of our pilgrims then fell by the wayside, but most of these arose again to battle once more with the lions or else to pin a noted band of pilgrims who, by the pursuit of devious paths, avoided such an encounter. There is a story that some of our noble pilgrims had certain animals guaranteed not to shy at one species of lions, which they mounted upon certain occasions and it is also said that they left these well-broken animals for others whom destiny decreed should tread the same paths and meet the same lions. But both stories are entirely unfounded. Many and varied were the experiences of our pilgrims, but they continued faithful unto the end when in the year of grace, 1908, by the decrees of a wise and beneficent Faculty their wanderings were declared to be over. Each re¬ ceived his passport of “well-done” and left forever this land of Sunshine and Shadow—College Life. 32
