(Ehr Uittnthmu'r U121 SENIORS —CLASS OF 1921 OFFICERS WILLIAM TRAUTWEIN - LEILA HELMICK MARTHA KF.RR - PAUL BERTSCHY EVA CORY.................. President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Serceant at Arms CLASS HISTORY On September 11, 1917, ninety-one boys and girls from all parts of the United States met to form what was then known as the 1917 Freshman class and is now known as the 1921 Senior class. Thirty-two of the original ninety-one will receive their degrees on June 8, 1921. The history of this class has been one of excitement and thrills. In our Freshman year the boys suffered defeat in the tug of war, but that did not dampen our spirits. During the war most of the boys served in the S. A. T. C. or in the regular service, while most of the girls did war work at the College. Thirty-five members of the Senior class served in the various branches of the military service. The greatest events for us, as Juniors, were the publishing of the Diamond Jubilee Wittenberger, the May Fete and the class play. The queen and her attendants for the May Fete were chosen from the Junior Class. The play, “Excuse Me” was given at the Springfield High School auditorium and was a financial success. Our Senior year has been one of pleasure with some sadness. The first part of the year was broken up by the intensive campaigning for Wittenberg’s Endowment Fund, in which some of the men and women took an active part. Before the endowment campaign was launched, a pageant was given, which portrayed Wittenberg College from the first administra- tion to the present one. The lines of the pageant were written by Georgia McPherson, a Senior, to whom much praise and honor have come. Just a few days before the Endowment campaign had come to a very successful close, our President Emeritus Charles G. Heckert passed away. We were the class who had known him the longest time, and it was the taking of one whom we loved and one who loved us. We know that he had given his life for us. Our men and women have taken part in many phases of college activi- ties, for instance in glee club work. Torch work and in athletics. What College and Class furnished the captains for the All-Ohio basketball and Football teams? The Senior class of Wittenberg College of course. What class of Wittenberg had the largest representation on the All-Ohio teams? The Senior class of course. On May 6, we presented a class play, “A Full House” at the Fairbank’s Theatre. The proceeds from the play went to purchase a memorial for the College. Each year a class history has been written for this class, and now at the end of this article is FINIS. Yes, for the end of the Senior class history and for the end of our college days. FINIS n cn y-|n o
