Seniors History npHii Class or 1932 registered 405 freshmen in the fall of 1928. An ever increasing rigor of scholastic requirements and an economic depression have left us hut 247 seniors. During the four years of our stay at Lehigh, we have witnessed one of the most extensive ex- pansive programs of the University. The scholas- tic facilities have been enlarged by the building of the James Ward Packard Memorial Laboratory and the completion of the new library. The chapel has been redecorated and new foot paths and roads have been constructed over the campus. The power plant, chemistry building, and physics building have been remodeled. Perhaps the most important event of our inter- class relationships has been the voluntary abandon- ment of the more abusive and offensive forms of freshman hazing in our sophomore year. This vear there has been a reorganization of student activities and of the student governing body. The uniform letter award has been adopted and the Arcadia has been increased in size and widened in representation. Two victories over Princeton and one over Lafayette in football and three Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Championships are the athletic high lights of this period. As we look back on our four years at Lehigh we feel that it has been only too short. We are proud of and grateful to our Alma Mater, and hope that it may al- ways have reason to be proud of us.

PhiSii HAMILTON FAIRFAX ALLEN Fort Sam Houston, Texas New York Military Academy s islant Manager, Soccer {i). 2iiJ Lieut.. R O.TC ; c Show (2, 3), RaJio Club (4), Manager, Tc M4). A MILITARY school On thc Hudson give Ham his start toward the war on old South Mountain. The hjttles waged for three and a half vears, and ended with a decisive victory lor Ham in February. He is one of the very few who have ever defeated this man ' s college in less than four years and gotten anything more out of it than a dishonorable discharge. Ham re;eivcd his honor- able discharge in record time and did a very good job along the way. His scholastic record is one that is desirable. However, he is more at home in a soldier ' s uniform than in a classroom. Ham was a frequent visitor at St. Luke ' s, but he was always healthy, so he couldn ' t have been very ill! Perhaps someone knows the answer. Let ' s hope that he doesn ' t go through life as fast as he went through Lehigh, or he ' ll be graduated before he can get back for his first reunion. Taylor Hall— B. A MOST capable Lehigh gentleman! Few men are able to entertain such greatly varied interests and achieve so great a success as does Bill. Scholarship attracted him from the very start, and without becoming a greasy grind he has attained an enviable scholastic record. Bill is a restless sort of soul, and though he hails from such places as Connecticut, North Carolina, Pennsyl- vania, and New York, his sojourn in Bethlehem has been of great convenience to him socially. Being a great student of human nature his inclusive studies make necessary frequent week-end calls in Philadelphia, and New York. These jaunts are dignified by no less a vehicle than a venerate Model T. — an object which demands the patience and tact common only to truly great men. However, all of this training shall be put to good use. Bill expects some day to join the great atmy of retired dentists. WILTON ALTMAN Ithaca, N. Y. Merccrsburg Academy B . 1 32 ' '
