Clarke, Johnson, Nash, Jewett. THE SENIOR CLASS As the class of '38 filed into Dabney Hall to be distributed into the various sections of the Freshman class, little did the existing Sophomores realize that this bewildered group of students would give them the clos- est pushball contest ever witnessed at Tech, the Sophomores winning by one goal. As a result of the Rodeo the class of '38 entered the social field with the Rodeo dance, which was held in Dabney Lounge with music furnished by Hank Evans' orchestra. The men who so successfully led the class through its first year at Tech Were Davidson,Woodrich, Elliott, and Ropp hold- ing offices of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer respectively. At the start of the Sophomore year the class continued to be efficiently managed with McLean, Balsley, Ropp, ancl Elliott as officers. The class extended its reputation for being well organized and highly spirited by showing Tech how to kidnap Freshmen on a large scale. The Freshmen lost the Rodeo of that year by an overwhelming score of 8 to O! The men selected Don Davidson, Presi- dent; William Ropp, Vice-President; Charles Clarke, Secretary; and Bruce Elliott, Treasurer to lead the class through the Junior year. The first duty of the class as Juniors was to organize the contest for the Soph-Frosh Rodeo, which was expanded into a field day in- cluding four events instead of the usual one event. The events sched- uled that year were a tug of War, a pushball contest, a cane spree, and a tire race. To lead them through the last year at Tech the class selected Frank Jewett, President; Evan Johnson, ViceePresident; Charles Clarke, Secretary; and William Nash, Treasurer. Besides the class officers many committees were ap- pointed to handle the problems which usually come up before the Senior Class such as announce- ments, class gift, etc. The crowning social events were the Garden Party and the Junior- Senior Prom. The Seniors were assisted in the organization of both affairs by the Junior Class.
