Kennedy, Israel, and Parks. Gerringer and Kennedy won. The class medal was won by Gill, but was refused him because of alleged indiscretions. The girls' medal was won by Miss Parks. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we found our number diminished by about half. But this year found us experienced and ready for anything. We hazed as seldom before and never since. Dr. Lewis prohibited hazing and we started in and hazed them all over again. Our class election next occupied our attention and was held without the least semblance of friction or ill-feeling. The new officers entered with a will into the important matter of arranging our Hallowe'en Entertainment. WVe rendered a program that was highly praised and is now considered the ideal towards which other classes strive. The girls gave a Mock Commencement, the cast including them all. The boys' Minstrel Show is the best performance ever given at Hallowe' en. It included Wiley and Elderdice end-men, Gill interlocutorg and Smith and Lewis musicians, and was followed by a juggling and clog-dancing musical encore by Smith, Thompson, and Elderdice. After the show the Freshmen furnished additional amusement around the bonfire on the Girls' Side. In athletics we continued our progress, furnishing three football men, and three baseball men. In basket- ball we had almost a new team but succeeded in tying for second place. Wiley and Parks won the Elocution medals and Gill and Foard, the class medals at Commencement. The Junior year is generally considered an uneventful one in college life. But it was then that we began to make a very enviable record in studies. Thirteen received Honorable Mention for the year which is probably a larger percent- age ofthe class than was ever so honored. At the culmination of the social features of the college course we also excelled, for our Junior Banquet was pronounced a success. Toastmaster and Chairman T. S. Englar perfected the arrangements to a far greater degree than had ever been attempted before. The event was one to mark a stage in our career for the Junior Banquet is really the beginning of the end. As Seniors we have often been censured for lack of dignity but we have met all requirements of the Faculty and have taken it upon ourselves to have a good time regardless of what any one thinks about it. We believe that our pred- ecessors have frequently mistaken assumed dignity for real merit. A black gown and a sombre countenance are not infallible indications of a completed education. In the Society Contests we furnished our quota of orators and essayists and feel safe in saying that by them the standard of these contests has not been lowered. Day and Lewis represented Irving g Gerringer and Smith, Webster 5 Parks and Hill, Philo 5 and Israel and Steele, Browning 5 Irving and Browning winning. Lewis has been chosen Inter- collegiate Orator with Gerringer alternate. Our Senior Elocution recitals have been up to the standard and the Music Recitals have surpassed those of recent years. 29

Since our matriculation there have been a few additions, many subtractions and no divisions, until now we are graduating with twenty-eight. We have now reached our maturity in college life and will herein chronicle a few of the happenings that have made our college days eventful. Our Hrst roll-call was answered by twenty-one graduates from the Prep School and forty-four new students. Cur Freshman year was one of careful tutelage under the direction of the Upper-Classmen. Hazing thrived. In this year we laid the foundation for future success. Dr. Lewis was away and we got our start under circumstances that bred in us a spirit of independence that the Doctor has tried in vain to eradicate during the last three years. Vie had more fun per capita than any preceding or following class has ever had. But the pace was too strong for some as the number of expulsions and suspensions will attest. The class was a unit from the irst day it arrived on College Hill. ln athletics we made good. Mack and Whealton made the Varsity football team, Smith the baseball, and Elderdice, Gill, Moore, and Whealton the track teams. In basketball we secured second place with a team composed of Captain Mack, Elderdice, Latimer, Gill, and Roberts. We closed the year with the best display of nreworks that had been seen here up to that time and the Ciceronian Oration by Smith. The elocution contestants were Gerringer, Lewis, and Smith 5 28
