JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY mg Qt O MAKE HISTORY has been our aim. We entered upon our task 'lib rctmgat with the dawn of the history making age the twentieth century and from the beginning we have not ceased to keep pace with the times. Many things have happened within the past three years, and we have been the cause of bringing a great many to pass. The things we have accomplished are too numerous to mention, but some important things it will be well to mention as a model for the lower classmen and the classes that are yet to come. It is a sad loss to the College that a complete record of our Fresh- man year has not been preserved for the benefit of future classesg but, as that may be, the very Freshman air we breathed is still pervading the atmosphere of the campus, and will serve as a balm to the nervous and home-sick Freshman yet to come. Our record of that year was without reproof. The gym. was thrown open to us, and we entered with the determination to break past records, which we succeeded in doing by win- ning the championship in basket ball. The only contest in athletics lost to us was the field meetg and the reason for that was our negligence, together with our ignorance of the oppor- tunity. It is alsoa creditable fact that the Peabody Stock Company that year was composed entirely of Freshmen. And I need not mention the pleasure the other classes derived from our H open-air concerts. But I must not close this year's work without telling of our crown- ing act, which was the erection of a monument to the memory of the triune deity of room nine--unity, mass, and coherence. We entered upon the Sophomore year of our career with a double-quick pace, for our bunions, caused by the close rub the year before, had disappeared during the summer vacation. Knowing that duty forsaken was success lost, we started out with the same, old determination to take the rag off the bush, Though it was no trouble for us to again win the championship in all athletic contests, yet we caught the spirit of the scholar and entered with diligence upon our college work. We calculated to within the one-hundredth part of a second the time when the satellite of a co-ed would appear upon the campus by merely doing the logarithmetic act, appropriated the oratory of Cicero, sit with fear and trembling on Emerson's skiff as he sailed over the seas of real thought. From the land of Burns we watched the canoe of King Arthur as it faded into light, and succeeded in making compounds in the laboratory which proved for us the clear title to our name, wise fool. In this, the third year of our career, our experience has been quite different. It was said of us when Freshmen that we substituted campustry for study, and that we knew it all when Sophomoresg but now, from a higher view, we are developing a broader person- ality by uniting the development of physical, intellectual, and the emotional. If you ask whether or not we are doing anything at present, I would ask you to look into all organiza- tions of the College, even the faculty, and there you will find us represented. And our pros- pects for winning the championship in athletics are as bright as ever before. Our motto, per fzspcra rm' zzs!rzz, is characteristic of the life we are livingg and though our number has decreased from two hundred and seventy-six to forty-live, it is because' of the response to the call of the South for efficient teachers. Yet you must remember we were iifst in organization, first in contest, first in victory, and still we yell with pride, We are a ive!
