The Class of 1909 graduated and strange to say athletics did not suddenly 11;0 out. of existence at W. M. C. In spite of the raising of the course lind the imposition of extra work upon us we found time for athletics, at the same time keeping up the standard of the Junior year' in class work. Athletics this year have been on a higher plane than ever before. The football team made 11 better record than any other team in the history of the college aile! we consider it a class honor to claim the capt.ain of that tear». Baseball is also making strides second only to foocball and we arc proud of claiming the captain of the team of '09, one of the most. finished players in College. Our basketball team easily defeated every tenm in the school except our friendly rivals, the Sopbs and we pushed them hard in our game for the championship. Probably the last event of importance before our graduation is the publication of this book. We offer no apologies for it althougt it represents the work of only about three months. We fee! that we will be repaid for our efforts by reestablishing a very worthy custom. The last event will be Commencement Day. After that great day may oursuccess be as marked when we arc cattercd to the four winds of Heaven as when so closely united at western Maryland College. 30
