wif I In ll ll In Uhr Qllaaa Qiaiurg nf N. Il. N. Er. CE., 1923 It is through rare circumstances that I am able to write this History of the senior class of '28, Father Time has never before taken anyone to his workshop, but after much persuasion I was granted permission to visit that marvelous and secretive room of the-Past. I shall do my best to recall my experiences there. The first day of College was eventful for Juniors, Seniors and College Seniors. It was the beginning of a career for the Juniors, for the Seniors it meant an advancement in their course and for the College Seniors, the end of three years, and the final chapter of their college life. The Seniors let only a few short hours slip away, before starting to initiate we poor little Juniors. We were made to understand by our trusty upperclassmen, that we were to do just as we were told. Hair nets, large placards, with our names printed in bold letters, with the word Moron f or our surnames, were only a few of the many unpleasant things that sophisticated Freshmen had to do. The following day an assembly of all classes, was called in J ahn gym- nasium. Dr. Arnold welcomed us and spoke about the rules of the school. That evening the Seniors held what is known as Formal Initiation. After crawling around on hands and knees for what seemed an age to the suffer- ers, and being in the dark for an eternity, we were treated to ice cream cones by the illustrious initiation committee. Camping days started. I am sure none of us will ever forget the first day. We had to work so very hard to make camp, but I am certain that all our heaving', of tent floors, carrying of boats and canoes, erecting of tents will be among our cherished memories of Camp Dudley. Our tired muscles and sleepy heads had to be forgotten when a Senior would approach a tent and say, Will you please get a pail of water for me? Initiation was to be carried on over a period of ten days. Our class was at last to become an organization. We held a class meet- ing and elected oflicers. Libby Wilson was elected to the office of president, Brownie Murray an able vice-president, Tommy Thomsen, social chairman, Lou Davis secretary, and Marion Reiman, last, but not least, was chosen for that trusty office of treasurer. We were then informed that each Junior House would be responsible for an entertainment to be held in the shelter house. Some of the shows were very humorous, some clever and some very pretty with their original costumes, songs, and dances. Froebel produced a pantomime which was humorous indeed. Herbart, a vaudeville show with a Cowboy Act and a Hospital Scene, and Karl Kroh presented Shakespeare. House and class games were played. We Juniors had line hockey and baseball teams, being defeated only by the College Seniors in hockey. For weeks the Seniors and College Seniors had been planning some- I60l
