W he History of the Senior Qlass THIS history, like most others, must begin at the beginning and end — well, is there ever an end? We might begin at the first day with its vivid impressions, and relate other unforgetable experiences, but we shall only generalize. In later life, every individual looks back on college life and sees a certain picture of it. To some it was all work and study; to others the basis of real friendship; to one group, it was a career; to another group an age of frivolity; while to still others the picture con- tained an ideal merging out of them all.

Those succumbing to the wiles of Dan Cupid were: Jean Johnston and Vladimir deTilleman, Harry Hessdorfer, Clifford Symington, while the wedding of Anna Sollenberger to Dr. Ernest A.
