Tom Price, who was elected cheer master, is doing all he can, as anyone can vouch who sees him try to speak after a contest in which the First Years have taken part. I, Keith Seegmiller, was elected reporter, but will not continue further as self praise is no recommendation. We have a most efficient set of officers to guide our ship of state and a loyal class which is sure to be noticed. We may, therefore, rest assured that this will be a successful year for the 21. Our great interest has been shown by our victories in baseball and basketball, and by our subscription for a $150 Liberty Loan bond. vied.

And these Freshmen young and tender Were then shaped and carved and moulded, Moulded into earnest students, Students by whose ardent labors. By whose love and true devotion Brought to Dixie fame and honor. Ann they, ever looking upward, Saw upon the mountains bosom Carved a D of marvelous grand- eur; Its neer ending inspiration Pictured unto them a motto, And it read Devotion Duty. And as upward weve been pressing. As success comes slowly towards us Ever our ears still ringing, Ringing constant as the ocean, Now inspiring, urging onward Is our watchword and our motto. So So in it is we lead the classes; it is well always lead them, And wheneverwere discouraged, Do we look up to the mountain And our path is bright before us. Hearken unto us, ye Freshmen, Hearken Sophomores, Hearken Juniors! For as time goes moving onward, On her guazy wings goes gliding, We now Seniors will again be Seniors, College Seniors still progressing. Continued on page 12. |
