Senior Class history rHE task of the historian is never easy, especially when there remain only as many minutes as there are words to record upon the pages ot history the achievements of a class that is rapidly nearing the goal where its brow shall he crowned with laurel. To truthfully represent what has been thought and accomplished by the Senior ('lass we must go back among the archives of the past, bring forth the dust-covered manuscripts, and delve into facts which time lias erased front our memories. College life may be divided into the transitional, the formative, and the adolescent stages of growth, which represent an ascending scale culminating in seniority or maturity, the ported of development. The transitional era of our class was inaugurated under the most auspicious possibilities, but the fates had decreed that our numbers should be sadly depleted Although many hours were spent in innocent amusements, our first year in college was sufficient to convince us of the magnitude of the field f knowledge. Accordingly we entered upon the formative Stage with renewed acquaintances and with redoubled efforts The originality of the class could not long remain dormant, and was soon expressed by the initiation of inter- class basketball for the co-eds and by the re-establishment of interelass football foi the fellows Athletic honors were shared about equally in the contests with our rival classes, though circumstances were at times against us The period of adolescence coni|»eHed a renouncement of many youthful caprices and a eoncenTation of interests upon the serious phases of college life At last we have arrived at seniority, the final stop before engaging in the active duties of life. With the mighty weapon of education as our defense, and with worthy ambition as our guide, we must surge forward into the turmoil of the world. During the last four years our class has taken a prominent part in ail college activities. Three members of the college quartette arc found within its ranks Its representatives have ably upheld the athletic relations of the college in baseball, football and track Athletics, however, has always been held as only incidental to the higher aims and ambitions of life cherished by the ttiemU-rs of :be class. Law, medicine, business, teaching, the ministry, and matrimony are honorable ambitions which in some instances arc already upon a fair way to realization. Seniors! The crown of laurel is about to descend upon our brows. Associations and tics we have 1 .ng cherished, must now lx- burst asunder Although time may rob us of companionships, may our hearts and minds frequently revert to old associations, and mav the bonds of union strengthen as the vears roll bv.
