John Jenkins Four long years ago a lively group of young people found its way to Linfield col¬ lege where it banded together as a freshman class ready to do or die. Its attempts were not in vain, for it was the first class in four years to win the Freshman-Sophomore squab¬ ble for two years in succession. The class has not been lacking in ability, for it won prizes on its stunts in the All-College mix contest for three years. When sophomores, the play, “Some Baby,” was presented by the class with all due success. At all times the class has pro¬ vided able participants in athletics, debate, oratory, dramatics and music. Many officers of the Student Body, Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. and Conquest class have been mem¬ bers of this group. To carry out the custom of wearing the blue and gold the class brought forth clever tarns and ties for campus wear. As seniors, the class chose as president a man with remarkable executive and schol¬ astic ability. He will enter Yale next fall on a fellowship offered by that institution. As its last mark of distinction the senior class presented the play, “The Cat and the Canary,” which was the first mysterv play to be given in Linfield’s Little theater. During the last year the friendships of the class were strengthened by several par¬ ties which were shared by the class advisor, Professor Elkinton. The class feels that its four pleasant and profitable years together will have endless value through the lives of its members, but the greater value will be shown in its service to mankind. Page 22
