STRATTON J UNIOR CLASS THE largest class in the history of the River Falls State Teachers College en- tered the school in the fall of 1926, chose Burton Karges and Le Roy Luberg as freshmen presidents and set out to make a record for their class.

After a successful first year the class embarked upon its second year with the assistance of a very capable advisor, Mr. C. G. Stratton, and presidents, Lyle Lamphere and William Hunt. The main project of the year, the annual Junior Promenade, was carried out splendidly under the chairman, George White. Besides, many of the individuals participated in extra-curricula activities.
