RETROSPECTION We entered in Septcmbei of 1912 a (lass united 21( strong against the big bad sophs. On came the black dinks and green ribbons and oil came the carefree aii and makeup. Cndei a cloud ol secrecy we elected out (lass president. John Keefe, who spent three days and nights in the Phoenixville Jail arming safeh at out 1-rosh Banquet. veai of orientation followed and we came through with depleted ranks, main of oui classmates lea iug their books to answer oui country's (all to at ms. I hen we were Sophomores and the tables were turned. Our “Guardian Angels” in the form of the Soph Rules Committee took over the unhappy (?) ordeal of initiating the new freshmen to the traditions ol L'rsinus. Getting into the swing of things, we cooperated wholehearted! with all the organizations on cam- pus. always striving to uphold the Ursinus traditions we had learned our first yeai against the navy's blue” attitude. Our Junior year came and went leaving us in a da e with memories ol Junioi Advisory activities. May Day, and our Junior Prom held on May 5th. Suddenly we lound ourselves dancing at our Senior Hall on Dec. 8th to the strains ol Ken Keelcy's smooth orchestra, the gym looking like a Christmas card fireside picture, and then we knew oui time here at Ursinus was getting short. I he yeai flew by as we made preparations for our Ruby and graduation. And so as we the (lass ol 1916 sadly walk through Kgei Gateway for the last time as students of l'rsinus College oui hearts are full of these and a host ol othci memories of this wonderful world we leave behind. 23
