m e ef efoi 4, BRITlT'YAEL 8 Class History JUNIOR YEAR Upper classmen! The thrill and growing realization of our importance swept ovcr us the first morning in chapel. The Prom was the thing. We toiled and spun tirelessly until the biggest and best Prom in history was staged at the Providence Biltmore on April seventeenth. Long will we 'remember the famous dinner dance at Shepherds Colonial Restaurant. Ways and means for Prom funds brought forth the Vaudeville Show. As before, '26 came through in a fine athletic manner, for we won the all-sports cup for the second time. As a class, we have never shown any remarkable musical talent, but we can point with pride to our talented violinist- Barbara Mitchell. Ivy Night, with Senior year close at hand, impressed the most blase of us all. The last of our upper class friends were graduated, and we were Seniors. f ,, -V--rf-,V ., .-5 i l '52

Fi fi' A ' A J Sm ,R Jia- L, Class History SOPI-IOIVIORE YEAR Graduating from the infant class was a novel experience. We calmly inspected the new Freshmen and decided that the reputation of '26 would not be impaired by such a herd of green Freshmen. We pursued the even tenor of our way until our actress, Elizabeth Linsz, amazed us with a remarkable interpretation of lVIasef1eld's The Tragedy of Nan, playing the lead, although she was but a Sophomore. The Masque, a finished performance, was another of our bids for fame. It was artistic, complete, and well executed, and 'zo justly swelled with pride. It was at the end of Sophomore year that our class developed the Hair for politics which has so checkered our career. 31

BRffI?Ie'lC'?A.IgL H Class History SENIOR YEAR The dread and awful time has come. Twenty-six has donned cap and gown and taken its place at the front of the ranks. Seniorial duties are the herald ofthe end of undergraduate days-golden days we are told -possibly, but unfortunately in the tapestry of 'zo there are threads of rusted gold, suggesting Storm and Stress. Our Freshmen were delightful, our Ivy Day most brilliant, and all the familiar Senior customs, very dear to us in our most sentimental mood. We will bring to a triumphant close our college days in a heartfelt Alma Mater. Success, renown, perhaps even fame may come to the members of '26, but it is the earnest wish of the loest of our friends that a spirit of happiness will dwell in the hearts of 'zo-ers when they relive their undergraduate days. l
