Notice to Subscribers
Any alumne subscriber who expects
to change her mailing address for next
year is asked to notify the business board
as soon as possible in order that the first
issues of the News may not fail to reach
her.
It is with a sense of loss that Bryn
Mawr contemplates a year without
President Thomas. For thirty-three
years she has worked so indefatigably
in the service of the college that her
personality has become impressed upon
its life. But though she will be univers-
ally missed, no one can regret that she
can at last take a trip to which she has
looked forward for so long. The News
joins the rest of the college in wishing
her a successful year and bon voyage.
1919
The Seniors have no modest illusions
about themselves, they think they are a
wonderful class and they are. They were
not conspicuous in athletics until 1917
left, but in their senior year they made
up for lost time and won every major
sport. It is true that they did not al-
ways have the best team, but they fought
—everyone on the team fought—when
they were losing they fought the hardest,
and they won because they thought they
could. This spirit of characteristic of
the class in everything they did. They
killed defunct clubs and _ organizations
and built up new ones, As one, they
fought a good fight to raise money for
the war, and when it was over they
turned with equal vigor to the Students’
Building. 1919 came in a big class and
they are graduating eighty-seven strong;
they will be remembered as a progres-
sive. class who lived on the principle
of “united we stand” and, which is more,
as a class who were good fellows with
the whole college.
1920'S UPPER TEN ANNOUNCED
The Junior honor roll of the upper ten
was announced by President Thomas in
