What a train of memories flashes into your minds as you meditate upon hall, class-room, and campus! How vivid is the recollection of that first meal in the dining hall, that first attempt to master all knowledge, that first chapel talk- that shadowy memory of a gymnasium in embryo, and that soothing peal of the retiring bell! What a music, what a reverie all these scenes on College Hill call forth! You will have many joyous days before you, but some of your best days are now history and the source of happy reminiscences. It was on College Hill that you formed some of your most lasting friendships; it was here that you caught a vision of a life task; it was in the class-room that you entered the palace of the beautiful in art, literature, and music; it was there that you marvelled at the greatness of God in the behavior of chemical elements, in the motions of the planets in the heavens, and in the organization of plants and animals; it was in the gymnasium that you first caught the real spirit of team work and self control; it was on the chapel rostrum that you gained confidence in expressing yourself to others; and it was within the sacred walls of your Alma Mater that some of you dedicated your lives to Jesus Christ as your Savior. As you approach your respective tasks it is our earnest desire to see you honorably performing your duties and thus rendering a worthy contribution to humanity. To do this you will need an impelling force in your lives, and of all the aids to a worth-while life there is none like faith. You will never be able to realize your latent possibilities unless you have a firm conviction that life is eternally important. Just as you are partly fashioned by all the influences brought to bear upon your life, so you will leave an impress upon humanity wherever you go. The pebble thrown into the pond affects all the water in it and sets waves in motion that touch the farthest borders. Life similarly touches life and sets in motion currents that determine destinies. For your own sake and for that of others it does matter how you live. You should further realize that work creditably performed is the consummation of a design in the mind of the Creator himself. For each life there is some work to do; for each worthy deed there is a harmony in the symphony of the universe. Your training during the past four years has been an at- tempt at assisting you in believing that life is fraught with great issues and boundless possibilities, and it shall bring us great joy to see each one of you doing your respective work well. Our anticipation for you as you face sterner realities are not manifestly disturbed by fears. We know that your aspirations are high, your purposes noble, your wills indomitable, and your faith strong. With these traits dominating your lives you will succeed. When your efforts meet the hearty approval of your fellow men we shall rejoice with you; when you pass through the difficult places of life we shall sympathetically follow you and try to strengthen you; and should you fail for any reason, we shall love you still and hold out a helping hand. L' ENVOI Is your place a small place? Tend it with care! He set you there. Is your place a large place? Guard it with care! He set you there. Whatever your place, it is Not yours alone, but His Who set you there. President R. W. Schlosser.

Herr In the fall of 1927 fifty eager Freshman enrolled in Elizabethtown College, anxiously looking forward to the new experiences before them. Under the direction of Professor H. H. Nye, our class advisor, we organized on September 27, 1927, choosing Benjamin Hoffman as President of the Freshman Class. As our motto we chose "No Victory Without Labor." The next important event in the Freshman annals was the victory over the Sophomores in a tug-of-war at Lake Placida. In the Basketball season the girls were undefeated and the boys stood very near the top. Not only in athletics but in library and musical circles, as well, the Freshman class distinguished itself. Thirty of our members returned for the Sophomore year, a little older and wiser for the trials and successes of the Freshman year. Carl Zeigler was chosen as leader for our second year of College life. Various committees were appointed for social, literary, and athletic activities. The social committee very success- fully arranged for a banquet February 19, at Hershey Inn. The snowy night could not dampen the spirits of the happy banqueters. In the major sports the Sophomores held their own and the glory of the Freshman year was not dimmed but rather increased. The social activities of the year culminated in a good time at Penryn Park May 24. Already we were looking forward to the privileges and Thirty- y i \ responsibilities of the Junior year— Carl Zeigler was chosen as Editor-in-Chief of the Etonian work and Trostle Crouthamel was chosen as Business Manager. In the fall of 1929 eighteen jolly, yet very serious minded, juniors returned to join the task of publishing a bigger and better Etonian. Everyone worked to the best of his ability for the accomplishment of this worth while project. The 193 1 Etonian was successful not only as a literary accomplishment but also as a business enterprise, for the treasure of the class was richer by two hundred eighty six dollars after all had been said and done. Clyde Deiter was the able leader of our Junior activities. Social affairs were not neglected during this, busy year for a very unusually successful social affair was held on a moonlight night as we hiked the snowy roads. around Elizabethtown. In May the Juniors entertained the Senior class at the Inn at Indian Echo Cave. The Senior year began very auspiciously with many of the old members back and quite a few new friends in our midst. Mr. Deiter was chosen as leader of our class on the last round of its eventful journey. We immediately began to plan for the many activities of the Senior year.
