pitome- Q fe f JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The members of the Junior Class feel that any successes which the class may have had have been, to a great eXtent, due to the sympathetic and kindly aid of the faculty and upperclassmen during the beginning of their career at Aurora. With .Guy Cod- ding as president and Charlie Singleterry, Charlcie Singleterry, and Doris Blanchard filling the three remaining offices, and with Prof. Kearney as adviser, the class of ,31, composed of fifty-one members, started one of the happiest and most enthusiastic of its years at Aurora. Perhaps the fact that green, as Well as being the traditional Fresh- man color, is also Irish accounts for the Irish class day and class play we presented. Needless to say on the First occasion we needed all the Irishman's far-famed pugilistic abilities to protect us. As Sophomores we felt suddenly very wise and grown. With a viewpoint de- cidedly changed we endeavored to put away childish things. Under the leadership of Elmer Lull we proceeded to introduce the freshmen to Aurora. Ruth Watson was chosen as class scribe and George Arthur guarded the class treasury. Doris Blanchard was Vice-President until she was called home and then her position was filled by Ruth Tallmadge. We still clung to the British Isles, giving a Scotch class day and a play predominantly Irish. We were well represented in athletics, both girls, and boys', and for the remainder of our social life We turned to parties and steak frys. The officers of the past year have been George Arthur, Ruth Singleterry, Dorothy Dotzauer, and Thelma Crouse. We have all felt a greater responsibility this year in the general activities of the college. Maiiy of our members have held positions in the Senate, on the Pharos Staff, and in the Various societies. We have had fine representa- tives in the sports, Jack Thornton, Chuck Anderson, and Ken Andrews among the fellows, and of the girls, Juanita Demick, Charlcie Singleterry, and Thelma Crouse. For our class play we presented a three-act English comedy, Green Stockings. This was followed by class day and then the last and greatest undertaking of the year, the Junior-Senior banquet. Now as we look forward to our last year it is with an earnest desire to make it more worthwhile for ourselves and for the college than any of the previous years have been. it if B?-:?:g'I930 ' -L: Tfwenty-three
