The administration of a college is somewhat similar--there must be men to engage in the business of legislation and there must be those who ad- minister, and wise is he who can demonstrate that the one can fully succeed without the steadying help of the other. Thus it is that behind the familiar scenes of the hustle and bustle of college life is this group of trustees. Though seldom seen, they are, nevertheless, a vital part of our college. Just as the wheels hidden in the watch make the hands go round and mark accurate time, so it is this board of trustees which behind the scenes keeps the affairs of Manchester College running smoothly. Much of the growth and progress of our Alma Mater is due to the untiring efforts of these men and to their deep interest in our welfare. Just now they are bending their efforts in a great endowment drive. Ever their attention is centered upon making Manchester a better place for youth to spend four years of rich and meaningful college life. P igc Twciily-ux

CI ass o f 1931 0 or TOM JONES Pri-siiii ' iif EVERETT PETERS Vice-President Septembsr 4, 1927, a group some two hundred new students appeared on Manches- ter ' s campus to begin their college career. For the first time in the history of the college the freshmen class came early to spend a few days getting acquainted with each other and also learning to adjust themselves to their new college environment. But soon Freshman Week was over and the upper classmen were returning. Here was a whole new crowd for the younger students to meet. And then came the enrollment period, and life settled down to ordinary college routine. Early in the year they selected Joseph Stoner to head their class. To show that they had become a group of really enthusiastic Manchester- ites they won the prize of the Aurora drive and consequently had a big party in the social room. With the exception of an occasional ducking md a few rather minor incidents which might occur in the life of any :ollege freshman the events of that year were more or less normal. The sophomore year of the class was one of quiet development under the leadership of Myron Kennedy. Of course, it was traditional that they show the sophomore superiority over the freshmen a couple of times, but that was perfectly normal. Several parties were enjoyed, but otherwise the year was one of peaceful growth. Half of their college life was past and the second half was begun when this group of students once more returned to the campus the next fall. This time it was Cloyd Myers who was entrusted with the guidance of the class. Harman Bjorklund, who had been sophomore representative on the Aurora staff of the year before, labored long and industriously with his staff in the building of the 1930 Golden Aurora.
