HISTORY OF It is with great reluctance that we, the Class of 1934, bid farewell to our alma mater and file out into the new and practical world of realities. Our stay at Lehigh has not made us cynical by any means,- it has made us more fully aware of the trials and tribu- lations which now lie before us. The Class of 1934 has struggled through four long years of happiness and disappointment, successes and failures and immeasurable quantities of diligent study. We have witnessed numerous changes in University and governmental policies. We looked on with antici- pation as a new policy in athletic administration was inaugurated, and with scepticism as various changes in freshman discipline, prom policies, and class banquets were made. After four years we have fortunately emerged with a substantial surplus in our treasury, which has enabled us to purchase our year books at a greatly reduced price.

SENIOR CLASS Unfortunately, we failed to see a Lafayette foot- ball victory, a most desirable memory of under- graduate days. Nevertheless, we witnessed and contributed to two spectacular triumphs over the Princeton Tiger, which are shining lights in Lehigh gridiron history. Lehigh retained its Eastern Inter- collegiate Wrestling Association championship for four consecutive years during the stay of the Class of 1934. Many of our number have dropped by the wayside since our entrance as bewildered freshman in the Fall of 1930, but we sincerely believe that we survivors have faithfully carried on in the best interests of Lehigh University. We now go forth to blaze a path of greater glory, in the hope that we shall contribute materially to the knowledge and welfare of the University and the world at large.
