Aside from the regular course, they have in their crass many who are developing their talents, which will win rewards, in Music, Art and Elocution; and so young as they are in the pursuit of the higher accomplishments, they have gained recognition and respect for their attainments. In the Society anniversaries the "07's" filled with credit the parts placed upon them and well deserve the honor gained thereby. The class is praised for its musical abilities, and in both Glee and Mandolin Clubs it was well repre- sented, while a number of our girls in the short period of one scholastic year have reached enviable heights in this finer accomplishment of music and before the toil of the next three years shall have been added to this years results their fame will spread afar to the honor of the college, the class and the performer. Though our class is so well advanced in these attainments, yet by no means has it allowed itse1f to become nar- row but has entered heartily and successfully into the athletics of our college. On the victorious football team of the past autumn, "07's" were well represented and its men were always in their positions and did their parts with great ability. The reserves which gave to the first team such a strong line to rush against was also composed of several of "l907's" men. In basket ball, both boys and girls of the class had strong and well trained teams; and they fought hard for the championship. So well have the teams upheld the class in basket ball that the Historian thinks it due each that the names of those who composed them be inserted in the History: Girls, Misses Thomas (captain), Barnes, McComas, MilIs and Cline; Boys, Messrs. Plummer (captain), Sellman, Ramer, Purdum and Hood. In base ball our class was equally as well represented with able players as was any of the other classes and though not as experienced they played always with a vim and ability that would have done credit to players of many more years experience. The Freshman class entertains for every other class on College Hill the most friendly feeling. And to each one of them she wishes the best success; as well as hopes that the pleasant relations that have existed between us so far ever may be maintained through the rest of our student life. This history would certainly be incomplete were the young ladies of our class not brought before my readers. Of them we have twenty-eight, and each of them has so conducted herself that she has gained the respect of all those on her side of the institution and in so doing she has gained their respect for the class. Were it not for these we would feel ourselves utterly incapable of undertaking the tasks which [all to the fortune of each class in the college to do. 04
