6 3 ' History of the Class of 736 FTER four years of joys, sorrows, struggles, and friendships never to be for- gotten, the seniors of the class of '36 begin to feel a tugging of the heart strings toward the old times and a longing for an opportunity to wear the green just once more. But the class of '36 realizes only too well that the memories of the past four years must suffice. As the class takes a last brief glance at its four years of college life at Linfield, every senior has memories of cherished friendships with professors and fellow students, of the joy of endeavor, of struggle and conquest in the preparation oflessons, of the wearing of the green, and of the wondering if he or she would ever really graduate. Then, as the scene changes, the senior class is discovered enjoying the happy fellowship and hard work found in the campus, sorority, fraternity, and class socials: constant delight and uplift from participation in class plays, forensics, athletic events, glee clubs, A Cappella choir, operas, Student Christian work, and numerous other important activities. Throughout the four years the class of '36 has been in school, many of its members have made definite outstanding contributions in the extra-curricular work. The class has been of great help in upholding the high standards of Linfield College through- out the Northwest. Under the direction and supervision of Prof. Roy D. Mahaffey, the senior class was able to produce one of the most successful plays of the college year, namely the comedy Big Hearted Herbert which was presented on Friday afternoon and evening, March 20. The cast allowed thirteen of the sixty-eight seniors to participate, as well as numerous committees cooperating to make the play a success, not only from a finan- cial standpoint, but also from the point of view of the audience and of the happy ex- perience of the cast. This comedy recalls the success of The Love Expert, three act comedy, which this same class presented when they were sophomors under the artistic direction of Prof. May Chalfant. These two plays stand out in the history of the class of '36 as real achievements. Throughout four years of cooperation with students, faculty, and adminis- tration, the senior class of '36 has tried to carry out the traditions of the college in every way toward making Linfield College a bigger and better institution. Even though the class of '36 leaves the portals of high ideals, Linfield College, with a great deal of sadness in its heart, still it strives to look ahead with a higher and renewed vision toward those valleys of responsibilities and peaks of glorious joys in an attempt to bring the great credit and honor due its Alma Mater.
