r m ur m o nt t s , Senior Class Officers Daniel Pitt O ' Brien President Hallie Bonar Vice-President Lois Marcaret Grose Secretary John Pitt Rohrbouoh Treasurer History We have fought the good fight, we have kept the faith, we have finished our course. Of no class could this more truly be said. In our first year in college we fought the good fight, then for two years we kept the faith, and now we are finishing the course. We entered college in the fall of nineteen hundred nineteen, one hundred sixty- eight bold, bad freshmen. Our first official act was to send a declaratio n of indepen- dence to the upperclassmen, who were trying to subjugate us. This precipitated one of the most whole-hearted battles even seen on the Wesleyan campus. However, time brings great changes, and now we are ardent supporters of freshmen rules. Under the leadership of such presidents as Kirchner, Thompson, Ross, and O ' Brien, we have accomplished much. Among our number we have developed leaders, not only in social, dramatic, literary and religious lines, but we have people with executive ability, and some of the best students in school. We are noted tor having given some of the most unique social affairs ever seen in Wesleyan College. Beginning in our freshman year we had a party at which peanut throwing was the main diversion of the evening. Then later came a party on a sand barge. This excursion was so capably managed that we got home at two in the morn- ing, due to the fact that for several hours the barge was stranded a few miles up the river. We were hosts to the seniors of last year at one of the most elaborate banquets of the year, the only one in fact which was formal. Much more could be said of the achievements of this illustrious class, but space and time are lacking. We have gone through many vicissitudes and trials together, such as mathematics, chemistry, examinations, chapel, to say nothing of freshman Eng- lish, a la Neptune. Now, as we are leaving, we hope we will be missed here on the old campus which we have learned to love so well. Our own feelings are a mixture of regret and ex- pectations, regret for the past and hopes for the future. We have yet to prove our real worth to our Alma Mater and we sincerely hope that in the years to come we will each become a real asset to our school. Class Historian - . 21
