500k II Classes Page 29 F In the spring we made plans for a class smoker and a Sophomore Ball. When the l'9Shmen were preparing for their banquet, we abducted their President and held him Captive until a party of rescuers dispersed us. A few days later, we heard of a Fresh- man barricade in Maxcy Hall and made plans to storm the fortress. That night began the famous Battle of Maxcy Hall. Our army, numbering over two hundred strong, f0l-lght its way through a barrage of crockery, furniture, flour, water, ink, and books antil it had entered the hall. There, we were temporarily stopped by the strong bar- Pleade on the top floor. However, superior strategy won the day for us, for the Fresh- meh were beguiled to leave their fort and to fight the battle on the middle campus. As Phey came down the stairs, we succeeded in capturing each one and sending the entire lot into the country on trucks. The next day dawned bright and fair, with Maxcy Hall a scene of utter ruin. The Administration was so incensed over the dam- age W1'0ught that it fined both classes which participated in the fight. We paid the Hn? gladly because we had the satisfaction of preventing the Freshmen from holding thelr banquet. 1 Our Junior year found us growing smaller in numbers, but larger in spirit. Class Plvalries were forgotten in the pursuit of studies and of social conquests. In December We elected the following men as our officers for the year: Rohlfs, President, Dixon, rlfxlrst Vice-President, Needham, Second Vice-President, Field, Secretary, and Widnall, reasurer. Several of our members took part in the ceremonies attending the opening of the new baseball field of the University. In May we had charge of the brilliant Junior Week festivities and later most of us spent a happy day on the Junior Cruise. U i Our Senior Year started with a bang. Realizing that we were soon to depart, the mverslty Speeded up the construction of the new football stadium and we saw a 1926 mfln lead the football team through a schedule of all-home games which included games Wltll Pennsylvania, Yale, and Harvard. Early in December, we elected our final under- graduate officers. Dixon was chosen President g Hunt, First Vice-President, MacDon- Qld, Second Vice-President, Payor, Secretary, and Widnall, Treasurer. We shall soon go, through the turmoil of graduation - class day, class night, and finally the gradu- ation exercises in the old First Baptist Church. We shall once more march down College Hill and then our student days will be a thing of the past. iilllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllli Il ll 'W l 2El'Nu I I I l I l l JL , -.-.-.,......- V, gl vi rr . tb 'fllR4pi'.nvr:IIljLI'im lg mlllllllllnlll, R x, 'i 'Y' f X iff ' gi me mln-1 ,- Nlzflf' Ln.. l I . l i l
