SENIOR CLASS HISTORY. T HE history of the Senior Class is very difficult to write, for several reasons. In the first place, neitlier men nor events admit of any sort of orderly classification, because both are heterog eneous. In the second place, the record of the class being siii ,qr;;cr .s-, the historian has no other history by which to be guided in his writin r. The third difficulty is the fact that the present history must be only a crof, ■ section. Xot so much as the dim twilight of the history of the individual men bers of the class can be known, and there- fore we are obliged to write in a lese ])articular way than we desire. Four years ago, more or les . the present Senior Class came to this renowned institution for the purpose, or rather in the hope, of filling our empty heads with some of that intangible stufif called knowledge, which floats around the College and which, in the course of four long years, occasionally lodges in the upper story. We were uncouth, gawky, simple, and ignorant lads then ; now behold ! we are a noble array of most potent, grave, and reverend seigniors. From the humble position of polished Freshmen, whose ignorance was self- assertive, we have risen to a place of honor in this community the like of which few beside ourselves can ever hope to attain. Our progress may be indicated by mentioning the names that we have successively borne as we marched along. At one time we were known as the rankest Newish : the second year we were called the bully Sophomores ; the third year you gave us the name ' dandy Juniors, and now we hear on every side the dignified title, lordly Seniors. We used to be afraid of everything and everybody at Wake Forest, but at the present time we do not even deign to look at lower classmen, all of whom show a remarkable evidence of homage and fear whenever passing us. And we are on most intimate terms cum facultate. My comrades, the eye of a historian can scarcely survey the long distance over which we have traveled in reaching our present place of vantage, and the pen of a Thucydides is necessary to record adequately the many battles, sieges, fortunes, we have passed. We started out about eighty strong, but our ranks have dwindled down to half that number. Many were the foes that decimated our noble company. Some there were who died in a head-end collision with Miss Any ; quite a 19
