The Gavelyte, April 1911
Cl!:DAltVILL~ CULLEG~. 100 ments have no limitations. And, as is always the case with man when brought face to face with POWER, I also lack for words to describe or to praise. SENIOR means THE OLDER. That we all learned several years ago. JUNIOR, then of course means THE YOUNGER and in college parlance we are younger by one year. With age as the criterion some of us are rather more Juniors than others. I fear however that I will raise a discussion if I claim that you are Seniors in number of days alone. Ah! more than this. You have passed in His– tory of Philosophy, Ethics and Natural Theology and some others, have paid $34 more tuition to date, (also your diploma fee) and have your literary points all made. Truly these are attainments worthy the name of Senior. I don't know how it would feel to be a Senior but I judge it's a very exalting sensation. I know though, that it is a stock phrase on commencement day to say, "it is with mingled emotion, etc.'' What that mingled emotion is, I have never been able to determine. But I do know how it feels to be a Junior when you are Seniors. In a few more weeks you will be going into the big, wide, world and then we shall be Seniors, still under the watchful care of YOUR Alma Mater. Of course we hate to see you go, but we are sure that the knowledge of your successes will be a joy as great as your absence is a sorrow. And where'er you be, in good or ill, the best wishes of the class of 19i2 are with you. Class Prophecy. BERTHA STORMONT. Almost every train on that crisp November day brought a loyal member of the class of 1911 into the busy eastern city. And now, when twilight had fal– len, the clasi:;, with one exception, was seated around the candle-lit dinner table. Mrs. William Hawthorne, the gracious hostess, from one end of the table, was s miling over the top of the tall carnations, at the minister who was energetically wie)d;ng the carving knife at the other end. Half way down one side FlorencP was speaking to the dignified, be-spectacled college professor at her left, who, frum his look of proud ownership, evidently had acquired an intere 8 t in Josephine. "You will soon learn t) know us all, for no one can be at our class reunion.:; without becoming acquainted in less than no time with the m1,rnuers and honorary members of the class of 1911. Rev. Ustick, who is sit– tmg across the tab) , is just back on his first furlough from the Phillipines. We'v«> all falll·n in lo·1e with his charming wife, whom he rescued from drown– ing in a ,vr,,c 1 < off the coast of lloilo." .Jus t then .Jo1;ephi11 claimed his attention on the other side.
