It has been one of the most active also. As freshmen, members of the class became active in all fields of extracurricular activities. The class was represented on both publications, in the debating club, the band, the orchestra, and the chorus. Some of the best scholastic records of last year were made by members of this class. This year the class has been even more active. The number on both publications has increased. Football, basketball, track, and tennis owe much to this class.
