Senior Class History
The Senior Class of 1921 was forty-one members strong when first we saw the light of a new day four years ago. But as usual the next year we had diminished in number, having only eleven. However, this was caused chiefly by the world war then in progress. The Junior year saw us with fourteen and at that point we decided to stay until the end of the senior year.
We come from seven different states and one foreign country. As a class we average three years spent at Taylor College. From the class of '17 only three have remained the full four years. As tot he past, eight of us are from the farm and the majority of the rest from ministers' homes. With respect to the future, five are preparing for a life of teaching, six for the mission field, and three for the ministry. At present there are five married and hopes for more in the future. Two are taking their Senior work at Ann Arbor. Of the fourteen, eight are Thalonian devotees and five are of Philalethean descent. We furnish the Soangetaha Debating Club with three members, the Eulogonian Club with seven and the Eurekan with one.\
But this is history and must be left behind, not disregarded, but used as a stepping stone to the next heights. Whatever the past may have been, there is no reason why the future cannot be full of usefulness to the world that shall never be forgotten.
