Ce arenf z 2 g . when those who wuteliecl were almrzst as excited as those who played, when there was a terrible fear lest something awful should fall upon us and turn the comedy into a tragedy-all these are an unfor- gettable part oi' the l'aln ic we have been weaving'. Can you forget the dismal lilaclmfss ol' 'l'liaiiksgiving' night after Sewanee beat us, or the bound- less joy of 'l'lianksg'ix'iiig night alter we beat Sewanee? And even at this distance we can still feel the electric thiill that shot throug'h us at the reading of the telegram- l-Cll1Ifll'IH.H' imllziuy, Yule 1ml!11'11yf. ' We can still see the swarming crowd ot Yanderiiilters as they bolted across the campus to flood the town with their happiness, and above all, we remember the morning the team came home. All these things tonstitute a large part ot' our class history and, by some subtle magic, they are inseparably linked to a thousand other memories just ag fascinating and significant. VI U P l . . w.

The Senior Class Tlcus with an airy wave of the hand and a ring of cigarette smoke, Bub Hicks announced ' to the faithful Flora. thfat their engagement was at an end. In like manner, Vanderbilt-from Chance and Uncle Jack to the very freshmen within our gates-is gathering itself together for one final, chill shrug of the shoulders to accompany the cutting words- Seniors, it's all off! LORA, it's all off! Four years have we been faithful to the gold and black, four years have gambollecl over Dudley Field, trailing clouds of glory and of gore, four years have we carolled soulfully in the name and for the lasting fame 'of Vanderbilt and the Glee Club, and four years have we striven unceasingly to give the faculty something to think about. Besides that, we were the original Bald-head Club and we were the corner-stone of the meteoric Dramatic Club. Why elucidate? If you really want a history of the Senior Class, go to the grade-books, the cut- book and Chance, there you will find it complete, unabridged and unexpurgated. In the mere matter of statistics, however, all Senior classes are alike and have been ever since the days of Samuel and the school of the prophets. In some respects, however, we differ from our iworthy scholastic ancestors, we are, and have -ever been, a law unto ourselves-and successive classes of freshmen. Th-ere has been a certain unity about our class, a class spirit, planted in that first momentous meet- ing in the Geology room, when the Sophomores unwisely intruded upon our solemn deliberations, sunned by Freshmen English, nourished lby second Latin and second Math., brought into gorgeous blossom by De'nny's Logic and reaching the glittering splendor of its full fruitage in those fetching little moustaches that appeared on the faces of a few loyal Seniors during Intermediates. Oh, no in- deed! They did not grow out of personal vanity, but out of la. sincere desire on the part of their unselfish owners to shed glory on their class and their Alma Mater. When it comes, however, to the things that have impressed us most, to the mile-posts of our four years' race, which is all but run, what will we remember longest? The Logic exam, freighted with the happy spots and the woeful traditions of -a score of years, when we, as ia class, sat on the mourners' C323
