SOPHCDMORES A YEAR ago last September, there arrived upon the Alma campus a group of young, industrious, eager high school graduates with a thirst for higher knowledge. They sur- veyed all that which surrounded them in their new at- mosphere and then settled down to the business of obtain- ing for themselves an education. These youthful seekers of knowledge, chose their subject, became acquainted with their professors, college class room technique, and began the long climb towards graduation, and are today, our budding Sophomores. The class of 'ill has been very active in campus activities. As Freshmen they won the flag rush from the Class of '40, but lost it last fall to the incoming Class of 712. Fourteen men were members of this year's varsity football squad, nine had positions on the basketball squad, and fourteen others are taking part in track, baseball, and tennis. Tom Purdy, Hugh Garrison, and fohn True are presi- dent, treasurer, and student council representative respec- tively. Eugene Nixon, Arvo fuhola, Peter Pawlyk are but a few of the Sophomore men who have attained high scholastic standards. 50

IUNIORS SINCE that eventful September morning in l936 when the verdant Freshmen of that year entered Alma's portals, time has seen them slowly ripen and in another year will be ready for picking. During the last three years, the men of the class have done much to leave their footprints in Alma's sands of time. Six men earned berths on the varsity football squad, and five have earned their A's. One man, Donald Smith, has won an enviable posi- tion on Alma's athletic teams. He, with another junior, Angus MacGarvah, will carry the junior class honors to greater heights by leading next year's football team as co-captains. Two junior class men have won places in this year's Hall-of-Fame. Four men share the burdens of student government. Clifford Carter as president of the class, William Smith, treasurer, and Harold Teak and Morley Webb as student council representa- tives, have led the way in the political field. Although this dauntless class quickly showed their superi- ority by winning the annual flag rush when they were Freshmen, they took a quick step backwards by losing the event to the Freshmen a year later. Now they have again hit their stride and are rapidly displaying that fine mettle that is characteristic of Alma students. SENIORS WITHOUT PICTURES CHESTER T. HARVIE KENNETH A. HOFFMAN HOWARD G.

FRESHMEN ALONG with Alma's New Deal, there came onto the campus last fall, the largest group of high school graduates ever to enroll at our Alma Mater. The men of this class quickly proved themselves capable by accepting the Sophomore challenge and defeating the second year men in the traditional flag-rush in record time. The Freshmen football squad, composed of thirty- seven huskies, enjoyed a successful season, winning three games and losing one. The fifteen man frosh basketball squad won six games and dropped but one, giving promise of much fine material for next year's varsity. Robert Kirby, star of the gridiron and hardwood court, is also one of the most out- standing frosh students. Three men hold class offices. They are Lee Clack, presidentg Donald Mclieith, treasurer, and Walter Brieden, student council representative. By the increase in enrollment as the result of the many new freshmen, new spirit in college life has been instilled in Alma College. By their presence, student organizations, band, college, Almanian, and next year, the athletic teams, have taken on a new and brighter aspect.
