It is, indeed, hard to say which has benefitted more since its advent, Catholic University, or the Class. Originality, initiative and School Spirit upar excel- lence are characteristic of the Class and have gained for ,37 its lofty reputation. School spirit is by far the outstanding Virtue of the group. The very first year saw this Class of ,37, in the despised role of Freshmen, break down a hitherto sacred Tradition when they decisively drubbed the Sophomores in the annual Tugvolwar. That event inaugurated the new C.U. spirit. Next, the aspiring Yearlings in January of 1934 entertained the Trin- ity Lassies of 137 at a Tea Dance held in the foyer of the Library. Not satisfied with achievement in athletic and social fields, the class set about the business of electing Freshmen Presidents for the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of En- gineering, which resulted in a display of rare dis- cernment and foresight. Ed Egan and Charlie john- son were elected in their respective groups. Politics, however, crept into class matters. It played its part in the Sophomore elections, but the sting and bitterness which so often accompany it were happily absent. Neil Murphy and Joe Parkhill sup- planted Egan and Johnson in office. Peace and hate mony was uninterrupted. The athletes who had exhibited great promise in the Freshmen year, blos- somed forth and the football, boxing and basket- ball teams of the University enjoyed phenomenal success. The scholars of the Class, headed by Spitzig, Dugan, Baker and a host of others, clearly demon- strated their merit. Election time rolled around again. Neil Murphy received the honor a second time, guid- ing the Arts and Science group while the Engineer- ing Division reappointed Charlie Johnson, their Freshmen president, to pilot them during the Jun- ior Year. Thus the Class of '37 approaches the end of its Junior Year. The words Catholic University have become part of its members. They love it, they are proud of it, and they intend to leave no stone un- turned in their efforts in behalf of its best interests. TiNext yearts another year, loaded with possibilities and the Class of 1937 plans to TiCarry On.
