After three years of education in every phase of high school life, the juniors are well fitted to take up the responsibility of Senior life. Always ready to uphold the fair name of Cogswell and the Fair numeral, 1915, our class is confident of success. Seniors, just a word in farewell. Strong in number, ever active in school affairs, always loyal in spirit, yours is, indeed, a class of which to be proud. Wfhen, after four years of faithful work, you pass from Cogswell's doors, graduates, you carry with you the best wishes of the Class of 1915. Through the efficiency of its officers and the co-operation of the class, the '15 class has enjoyed three years of prosperity. The officers elected at the beginning of the fall semester were: Meredith Lewis, Presidentg James Wiiiston, Vice-President, Ella Gumni, Secretary, Margaret Hansen, Treas- urer, Robert Eschen, Sergeant-at-Arms, and Thelma Raspadore and Edward McDonald, Representatives. W7hen their time expired the following stu- dents were elected: Edward McDonald, President, Elmer Forsyth, Vice- Presidentg Sophie Trost, Secretary, Henry Roberts, Treasurer, Ivan Bean, Sergeant-at-Arms, and Frances Vlfagner and Mervin Gunzendorfer, Repre- sentatives. A committee has been appointed to have charge of a social affair to be given before vacation. The members of this committee are Gladys Schulte, Sophie Trost, Minna Toloski, Edward McDonald, Ernest Bridgett, Stuart Johnson and Herman Hauser. The Exposition girls have always taken a lively interest in school and class activities. Almost every girl is an adept at some sport. Tennis, in particular, has many loyal followers. As no tennis interclass has been held this term, Frances VVagner and Sophie Trost are the acknowledged tennis champions, having won their block numerals in the last interclass.

THE COGSWELL Th ere's Edmund Powers- He sought for hours To find a way to wealth. He roamed the hills And never took pills And found he was rich in health. Margaret MacMurray was early married, But in this life she has not tarried, For now she runs 21 large hotel And is succeeding very well. Arthur Jacobsen for the ocean did yearn. And found a good way his living to earn. He built a large boat, XYith ten it would float, And now he has money to burn. Slowly bashful and bashfully slow Is Chester Kirkpatrick, whom you all know. But you remember the Tortoise and Hare- Some day our Chester will surely get there! Now Herman Hanson is a clown in a circus His queer imagination at last has full play: He's all dressed up in motley, grease paint and colors, And to make people laugh he always has a new xx ay

Charles leliden and Dorothy Gardner represent the '15 class on 'THE Corsswlzm. staff. The Exposition boys have had a successful year in athletics. The swimming team ol the '15 class won the last interclass swim- ming meet. He took lour first places, which totaled twenty points. They were second with nineteen points. If more than one of our aspirants had shown up we would have won by a much greater number ol points. The swimming Hteaml' is llachtold. 111 the basketball interclass we did not fare so well, but we did not disgrace ourselves. 'l'he '16 class defeated us by the score of 52 to -l3. At the end of the lirst half we were in the lead by three points. The score then stood 21 to 18. The team was composed ol' Trachsler, llrown, Bach- told, Roberts and McDonald. The '15 class track team one ol the best balanced track teams in the school, but in the interclass track meet last spring, as several of our stars failed to show up, we had to be satisfied with second place. Owing to the fact that we of the .lunior class are all grown up, we had no 100 pound entries. In the 120 pound class Yolosing was invincible, taking first place in all three events. Gunzendorfer was the heaviest point winner for the class. I-Ie took First in the 220 and broad jump. and second in the 50 and 100. Thompson Won the high jump and took second in the broad. Roberts and Morris were our star weight throwers. The relay race was the most exciting race of the day. We had the lead until the last lap, in which f'Big Pete' overtook f'Beaut 1Vallace. who was running in his civilian clothes and did not have any spikes. The team was composed of Thomp- son, Hauser, McDonald and Vlfallace.
