Senior Class History I. THE DARK AGE 5 5jjN the far-away dim past of the year 1916-1 7, from near and far came a host of young minds eager to taste of the fountain of knowledge. As many others before them have done, and as many in the future will do, they thought a taste of this fountain would be sufficient. As has been said, and wisely too, They knew not, and knew not they knew not. So, for one brief year this host sipped of the fountain, and passed onward sincerely believing they knew all things. II. THE RENAISSANCE But as the days swiftly passed and the year 1917-18 was presented to the world by Father T ime, there came in the mmds of many of this host, an awakening. They yearned for another taste from the fountain of last year. They had come unto this: They knew not, and knew they knew not. Gladly did the parents of these send them for another drink ; and when at the end of the second brief year they wended their way homeward, their faces were joyous, yet pensive, for they were thinking, A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or touch not the Pierian spring. III. THE MIDDLE AGE And again Father Time presented a year of possibilities to the world ; and no one more eagerly grasped for these than did this wistful host. All through the year they toiled and struggled, sometimes becoming famt, but never losing sight of their goal. This was indeed the most trying of years, but these strong-purposed minds overcame all diffi- culties, and when at the close of the school year they again sought their homes, they went Knowing, and knowing not they knew. But in each heart was the determination to return the following session and drink from the depths of the fountain. IV. THE MODERN AGE And behold ! when again they gathered within the walls of their college home they were — Seniors! Joyfully they shouldered the pleasant burden of the last quarter of their journey. In vain did frowns try to supplant the happy smiles upon their faces. Victorious they emerged from the struggle, each head held high, each face turned to the future, each young woman seeking her place in the ranks; each saying within her heart, I know, and know I know, Yet must confess, the more I know, I know I know the less.
