Senior Class ©istorp RETROSPECT IV E view f the activities of the Class of Nineteen Ten discloses tin fact that we have much more to he prowl of than to regret. There have been some things in our history to he regretted: sometimes we have failed when we should, by greater cfl„rt have been successful However, on the whole, our life, with its elevations and depressions of spirit, its pleasures and pains, and its many successes and few failures we hope is worthy of the admiration and imitation of following classes. The Class of iqio in its Freshman year included thirty members. This was the largest class in the history of Ursinus College, and it must be admitted that it distinguished itself in other ways than through numbers. The bodily struggles with the “Sophs” during the first few days of the school; the sudden destruction of the Sophi more posters; the artistic work of the class numeral artists on the standpipe and elsewhere are but a few of our many victories. Then there was the Freshman football season with its two games and two decisive vietoiies, closely followed by the remarkably pleasant class banquet, at which every mem'..er was present. But all was not roses this year, and the less said alxmt the baseball game the better. About tlie middle of September, 1907. the Class of 1910, with its original spirit, but lacking four members, returned to take up the prosecution 01 another year's work. After putting down several insurrections of the unruly Freshmen, and covering the beautiful surroundings of the college with large green posters, the class won a decisive victory in the in tcrclass football game, receiving the much-coveted intcrclass championship. Two lamentable things happened this year In the fall the Frcshics took advantage of our piety and on a Sabbath stole away to their banquet. This sad alTair was followed in the spring by a second deplorable escapade on the diamond. Since that time all has been well. The Class of 191a followed out good example when they swept everything before them, and gave us no reasons to doubt that our successors would continue to uphold that standard which we sc fox them. The reception and dance tendered by this class Ions, even with the enforced absence of the ice-cream, was one of the mos pleasing even's of our history Our contributions to college activities have been far from meagre, in every line except baseball. Wc arc represented on the gridiron, on the tennis court, track, and in the various musical clubs of the college. But it is along social lines that the class most distinguishes itself Quite a few of its members arc regulars, a few sad ones are engaged, while there are several who are trying hard to enlist in either class. This devotion to society has in no way hindered the intellectual work of the class, and its class standing has been uniformly good. As the time for our dissolution (as a class) approaches, we look with feelings akin to sadness on the prospect of leaving this place we have learned to love so well. We have a work to do. however, and the conflict with the stem realities of a struggle lor existence will show us of how much use our work and associations have been. Historian
