The Seniors of the Seminary were probably the busiest persons on the campus. Not only did they carry a full Seminary course, but they also held student pastorates or preached in neighboring churches from time to time. The class met monthly in the home of a professor or student for the discussion of various problems and for a social time. One very patriotic act which the class as a body participated in was the giving of blood to the Red Cross. The class also tried to encourage other students to do the same. A special course, Christianity in the Social Order, was held weekly for the Seniors by Professor C. E. Carlson. Officers of the Senior class were: president, Stanley Paulson; vice- president, Mel Swanson; secretary-treasurer, Gordon Thompson. Se enieen
