The Juniors From the starting point the enterprising nature of the Junior Class has been shown by the help its masculine portion has given in reaping victories along the lines of football, basketball, tennis and track work. In addition to its capacity for furnishing worthy combatants, an enter- prise along a still different line appeared even in the Freshman year of this class in an innovation known as the Butler French Club, which, however, met with an early death, due chiefly to the fact that the majority of its members left Butler to enter fields of Pedagogy. The girls of the class have been particularly active in various phases of Y. W. work, from dressing dolls for the Christmas settlement chil- dren to enforcing attendance at mission study classes. The climax of the social life of Butler for the year 1912-13 was reached in the Junior Prom, held at Woodruff Place Club House on the evening of F ' ebruary second. The grand march was led by President Ed Lewis and Vice-President Marie Peacock. If the early career of the class in -arious strifes was a foreshadowing of what it was to meet in its Junior year, the struggle for maintaining the old custom of editing a year book was that for which that preparatory course was intended. In the face of much opposition, the persistent efforts of the Drift staff on behalf of the class succeeded in producing the Drift, modified somewhat in form from those of former years, at the suggestion of the Faculty. However, it maintains the custom that the Juniors have adhered to for years back, of assuming the responsibility of editing a Year Book for Butler. The officers of the class of 1914 are: President Ed. Lewis; Vice-Presi- dent, Marie Peacock; Secretary, Mable M. Felt; Treasurer, Robert Buck. [21]

The Sophomores From those Olympic heights to which they have ascended in the brief space of one year the class of 1915 upholds the lofty reputation which they won so speedily. A year ago their great success in all student activities was termed but the precocity of infants. Now the fairly won laurels decorate their humble brows. As Freshmen they both conformed to, and broke down the trammels of custom. They conformed with the usual non-resultant class election. They upset the custom of years by handily beating the Sophomores in the annual football scrap. This meteoric success has been continued. All precedents were over- thrown by the institution of the Sophomore Hop which proved the chief social event of the year. Football, basketball, debating, oratory, have alike brought honor to the class. May this progress upward and upward be continued until the class of 1915, to its last member, has reached the zenith of its college career, — a sheepskin. The officers are: President ------ Harold Summerlin Vice-President ------ Hazel Gay Secretary ----.. Mary Jackson Treasurer -..--. Albert Tucker [23]
