Oak Leaves History of the Class of 737 N THE LINFIELD CAMPUS, in the fall of 1933, one hundred eighty-one green freshmen appeared. They were members of the first class entering college after the adoption of the New Linfield Plan. The class soon won recognition in college activities. The boys showed real ability in the tug-of-war with the sophomores, when they pulled the second year men into the Cozine. This was the first time the frosh had won for several years. The girls broke all records by capturing the interclass title in tennis, volleyball, basketball, and baseball. Many freshmen took an active part in forensics, dramatics, and music. Three well-planned and enthusiastically supported class parties and a picnic were held. Students who served this class as officers during the freshmen year included: President ........,...,.....,.......,. Paul Boeckli Vice President . . . . , . Maxine Babcock Secretary .,.... . . Florence Leonard Treasurer .,......................, Elmer Blomquist In the fall of 1934, one hundred twenty-five sophisticated sophomores re- turned to the college campus. The class began taking more and more responsibilities of college life. Some members as Daughters of Tradition and Knights of the Order of the Old Oak saw that the Linfield traditions and customs were upheld. One of the most outstanding events of the year was the production of the three- act comedy, The Four Flusher, under the able direction of Prof. May Chalfant. The play had a capable cast of fourteen sophomores, and was filled ,with thrills and laughs. The class furnished outstanding athletes for school teams in football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and golf. Sophomores also distinguished themselves in debate, dramatics, journ- alism, and music, a number of students taking part in the Glee Clubs and A Cappella choir. An extensive social program was carried out. Two parties and a picnic were held during the year. The silver cup which is presented to the class sponsoring the most successful parties from the standpoints of organization, originality, attendance, and participation was awarded to sophomores. In addition, many of the class of 1937 held responsible positions in important student organizations. A high scholastic stand- ing was maintained. Officers of the class during the sophomore year were: President ....................... George Harrington Vice President .... . . . ....,..... Fern Dow Secretary .,...........,........,....

The president, John Van Bruggen, besides directing the affairs of his class, also presided over the Student Christian Movement. In musical functions, juniors par- ticularly distinguished themselves. ln addition to membership in men's and women's glee clubs, the feminine lead in the light opera, Pirates of Penzance was taken by a junior, Evelyn Gibson. Participation in band, orchestra, and A Cappella choir was enjoyed by a number. Three members of the girls' sextet were juniors. The posi- tions of Yell King and Song Queen were capably filled ,with two members of the class of '3 7. In addition, the class was well represented in forensics and the dramatic produc- tions of the year. In April, a chapel program was presented. Athletics claimed some of the mem- bers.
