Despite the ravages of war which have claimed so many of our heroes, eleven of our little championship squad were juniors and seven of these were regulars. Almost half of the basketball squad pays homage to the Nineteen banner, while in baseball and track we bear our full share of the burden. In debate our boys were again inthe limelight, Winning the freshman- sophomore clash both years. On the Varsity team there were two of our men last year and this year it was an entire Junior team which vanquished Ohio on a hostile floor. But not alone in these has Nineteen excelled. The tie-up contest will long dwell in the memory of the much bruised and battered men of the class of Eighteen, while the ride to which the tug-of-war team of Nineteen Twenty was treated was a sight not soon to be forgotten. The History of the Booster Class of Wooster would not be complete without mention of the hearty good times and fellowship that has accompanied all our career. No part of our college days will be remembered with keener joy than the social affairs that have refreshed our upward journey from the verdent cap to the classic gown. To much of it we may congratulate ourselves on the wisdom and forethought exhibited as freshmen in the choice of our honorary member. This wisdom has been more than justiiied by the friendly interest and co-operation shown toward the class and each member of the class by Professor and Mrs. Knight. There are many things in the annals of Nineteen of which We may justly be proud. Our records in oratory, athletics, debate and other interclass activ- ities are such as any class might envy. We are proud of our history, of our honorary member, of our May Queen, and of our men who have responded to the call to arms in a fashion which shall never bring anything but fame to the class and to the college. Our girls also are serving in whatever capacity they may in war work with the same spirit of unseliish self-sacrifice which we have all come to admire in their college duties. - This above all. However depleted may be our numbers, whatever the tide of our victories or defeats, let come what may, we shall enter our senior year with the same enthusiasm which has marked our life here and leave behind us this motto, For God, for Country, and for WOOSt61'.,7 ' Page Tlzzrty-six

Unlike most of the feathered Hock our Birdie does not warble. But she constantly radiates cheer and good will. Not once has she been known to frown or to be forgetful of that most delightful form of greeting-a happy smile.
