can - Lqas THE KEY OF NINETEEN TWENTY-SIX ! QIOR CL' SS HI TORY '7 ,R N THAT glorious autumn of 1922 assembled one of the largest and most superb classes in the history of Bowling Green College. From Iwi! ' figfl li lvif ,P f Q1 :Q MQ !! FN the very beginning the class of 1926 was exceptional. Never before L had Freshies entered into the life and activities of the College as did fl' 'QQ those of '22. During that first year was laid a firm foundation for the building of college and class spirit for the coming years. V The second chapter of our history is filled with added success and accomplishments. By this time many of our members had 'been elected to various important ofhces which they filled with credit, not for themselves only but for the class as well. At the end of our Sophomore year many of our members in the ele- mentary course were graduated, leaving behind memories of friendships formed and of deeds accomplished. With such a history before us, as Juniors we took on a new dignity: our minds were broadened: and we began to realize some of the responsibilities of upper classmen. Can we ever forget our Hoat in the Home-Coming parade, the Junior-Senior Formal. or the Commencement, with us acting as escorts to the graduates, who in vacating their places made us Seniors? Now we are Seniors: now the future, long symbolized in the figures of 1926, has merged into the present. That time which seemed so far away when we were Freshies, is at hand. VVe have tried to initiate new precedents and to foster college and class spirit. We have hopes of a class Alumni organization, thus holding our class together during the years which we shall spend in Life's school. lsn't it fine to sit together as a class in chapel? Shall we forget those class meet- ings, signing our applications for diplomas, and practice teaching? Wasn't the Junior- Senior wonderful? And our class dinners? May we all meet again at every Home- Coming. It is indeed with a certain sense of pride that we review our history. We entered as the largest Freshman class and we leave with the added distinction of being the largest Senior Class. We have quality as well as quantity, and we hope to go forth into the world with increased loyalty, not only to 1926 but to the whole college, past and present, as alumni of Bowling Green College.
