Hann is the only member of the faculty who is-os been here since the beginning. Many former mem- ber, are enjoying life in various other capacities, such :is business or professional men and women, home- makers, or as retired citizens. The Slache, Aristonian, Webster, and Minerva liter- ary societies came here from Old Central, having been organized between 1901 and 1906. Many traditions established at the turn of the century are still being carried on. In 1906 Frank L. Wilkinson, now state senator, and Roy K. Dietrick, a prominent attorney and church man, won first and second place in Sons of Revolution essay contest. This year we repeated their success, Amy Parkhurst winning first and Jane Hardin, second place. The first graduating class in 1872 numbered five- four young ladies resplendent in lawn and lace, and one young man, stiff in black serge and celluloid collar. Our class of 395, clad in academic cap and gown 125 per cent greater in numbers and the recipients of the benefaction of all the wealth of an ever-expanding curriculum, the latest methods of instruction, and of tutelage by a degreed faculty, have the challenge of the traditions and achievements of a distinguished alumni to spur us on to a worthy life! May we never sully the name of our school and . . When time, who steals our years away, Shall steal our pleasure, too, The mem'ry of the past will stay And half our joys renew. -Moore QQ it , WW f , f 7 f
