'THE KEY. 1920 Senior Hislory When looking ahead, four years appear a long time, looking backward one can hardly realize that they are past. So it is with us. Our college years have witnessed our growth not only in stature, but also in mental breadth and spirit- ual vision. Some of our ideals have been attained, some have been put aside or lost, but most have been transformed into something higher and nobler. The worth of our ideals will be measured by the success of our efforts in the service of humanity. The class that entered the college in 1916 has passed through varied exper- iences, some common, some otherwise. VV e neither claim superiority nor admit inferiority to other entering classes. ' The Class of 1920, however, has shown its spirit from the start. On a cool spring morning of the Freshman year the paint and brush were skilfully used, and the noble symbol l920 still stands on the main university walk. VVhen men were needed, many of the class served in the United States Army as offi- cers and enlisted men, to return later to take up their preparation for service in other capacities. The class has won the epithet of Bolsheviki Classl' on ac- count of its inability to issue a year book, owing to the absence of many who were in the service. Our ideals are not necessarily any the worse for our name. and our creed is essentially the same as that of other Christian folk. We have had our fortunes and our misfortunes, as all must in this great game. We have lost one member of our class-a noble, pure, lovable boy, and his memory is all that can take his place. We have taken in other members from the outside and from lower classes, who proved themselves our equal. The Class of 1920 has designed and caused to be adopted a college ring which each outgoing student of the university will wear. In cooperation with the Class of '21, the Seniors have been instrumental in bringing about the first annual Fresh- man-Sophomore Rush. In athletics we have had some excellent representa- tives, and in scholarship some of the best men of the institution. All these college activities do not amount to a great deal, in themselves, but they do show that there exists a spirit of activity. The real worth will be known when this activity is applied to the life work for which each of us has so long prepared. We assure all, that whenwe are entered upon our calling and have served some ten, twenty, or more years, not one of us will be slow in recognizing an- other as a classmate. As we have acquired a knowledge of life, we now go out to impart this knowledge to others, and in whatever place, in whatever field, in whatever capacity we serve. we know that we are paying the greatest tribute to our Alma Mater by serving humanity. - Theodore G.
