Of the one hundred and fifty sturdy yearlings who entered Linfield in the fall of ’25 only fifty have survived to attain that seniorly dignity. In its Freshman year the class of ’29 distinguished itself in all lines of endeavor. To the cause of athletics it contributed five basketball men, four baseball men, eight foot¬ ball men and one track man. Four girls of the class played on the girls’ basketball team and four boys on the tennis team. Eight of the season’s most successful debators were Freshmen. In every line of activity the class showed equal pep and ability. The Sophomore year was no less fruitful although only seventy-four returned. “The Dream That Came True’’ was presented in order to raise money for the Injured Athletes’ Fund. The play was a marked success for the class of ’29 is not lacking in dramatic ability. Still loyal to the college the class continued throughout its second year to contribute liberally of its talent to debate, oratory, athletics. Fifty-five was the class in number when the curtain rose on the Junior year but here again the supreme ability of the class was recognized. Many and varied were the activities engaged in. A large number of its members held important student body offices and the class continued to distinguish itself in dramatics, oratory, debate, athletics and music. Then came the great advance into the Senior year with only fifty left to tell the tale. But these fifty have been the very nucleus of student life during the year just completing itself. In every line of activity the influence of the Senior is felt. The class of 29 is composed of a group of fine Christian men and women who after four years spent in the classroom have come to that time of graduation. A few years of preparation are behind them; many years of hard work are coming but new hopes, ideas, ambitions make the long way ahead seem pleasant. And so the class of ’29 arrives at that place where hundreds have arrived before them and they are ready to advance into a new, rich, more useful life. 20
