Vol. XVI THE VOLUNTEER 21 {Senior Class Distort BS we climbed the Hill in the fall of 1908, a goodly number of green but hopeful freshmen, ideals am! images of the great things we were to accom- plish during our four years' stay here, naturally filled our minds. We managed to struggle through the trials of matriculation, only to Ik. confronted by the awful Sophomores, but we lx re up bravely under the burden of their indignities, remembering that next year we could “pay it back to the Fish who would succeed us. During four years of work and play, many of our large number have deserted us. but. strong and brave, fifty-six of us press steadily on to the goal—graduation. Always conscious that “Vinquit qui sc vincit” was our motto, and led on each year by officers unusually worthy, we have striven to surpass our predecessors and set an example for those coming after us. And we have wonderously succeeded, especially in our own opinions. As Freshmen we first distinguished ourselves, by losing the Cane Kush, which did us much good, we are sure, since Freshmen are inclined to be rather conceited. Hut our strength was soon shown by the mark we made in athletics. Last of all. we were the first Freshmen class to bring out an edition of the Magazine. As Sophomores. Juniors, and Seniors, our records show that we have l cen efficient in all departments. How our professors will rcmemlier us with regret when we have passed out into the world! Our athletic career has been great: the material we furnished for each department of athletics has brought exceptional honor to our university. Distinguished for our ability in every other course, we must not forget the one for which we are especially note-worthy, namely the campus course. Helping us on when we were discouraged, it has not at all kept us from learning Mechanics. English, etc., etc. And so we have come to the end, to the “parting of our ways,” and there is a feeling of sadness and sorrow ’ when we bid each other farewell. Hut we know we have succeeded, our ability has been recognized, and with the courage and optimism natural to youth, we go forth to meet the fate awaiting each one of us, believing that in the end we will have waged a successful battle in the life into which we are entering.
