Behold the class of ’27—a class of unlimited possibilities and impossibili- ties, of famous successes and notorious failures, of progressive enthusiasm andeinactive slumber, ay puzzle toysome, a delight. to others; and. still’so thoroughly human and good-natured a body as cannot easily be found. This class, whose ranks are mustered from many states and lands (it once boasted of a Persian), which contains widely differing talents, is a perfect miniature of America, a melting pot of various types. In view of the fact that many classes in passing through this third college year reveal a rather rough and often foolish spirit, which usually gives its members a sort of notoriety among the others, this Junior class is to be con- plimented on its real friendship with all Concordians of all classes: It is indeed a jolly, live body, with little or no class conceit, but a noble spirit of friendship, truly Concordian. Its history is one of beginnings. It was the first class to pursue its work under the new course of studies adopted by the college authorities, the first to receive a laboratory course in science, and the first to organize a junior literary society at the Badger Concordia. Because of the varied interests of the members—and perhaps for other reasons—many of this class are inclined to have a rather mild passion for studies, and therefore say with Henry Carey of the seventeenth century: “Of all the days that’s in the week I dearly love but one day, And that’s the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday.” Page Thirty-seven

When the members of the class of °28 chose their coat of arms they did not, however, base the colors and characters of the same on heraldic principles, for their object in selecting a monogram was not to relate the past but to portray the future. It must be confessed that the class history up to that time was not eventful enough for symbolization, since the successes and accomplishments of the preceding year were characteristic of the initial year of any class. But the spirit which then already manifested itself in the activities of the members was a clear index pointing to a promising future. It was therefore appropriate that the figures on the coat of arms be also suggestive of a future with promise. The meeting at which this matter was discussed was a veritable Con- tinental Congress. Dissension was undeniably ruler. of the house, until a Patrick Henry of the crowd stepped forth and made a proposal in lines rather than in words. After he had finished the drawing and had resumed his seat, there was a sudden hush, followed by a roar of applause. ‘The trademark was chosen; it was to be an old-gold arrow on a field of red. The appropriations of this sagittal symbol in a class monogram can best be appreciated when the history of the same is considered. The arrow is associated with the past) ot almost every race, Primitive races relied on it imatheim conquests. Une wlndian® carved ie on jhis, totem pole to ssuggest progress. The Aztec inscribed it on his history books of stone to designate prosperity. It was also used on the standards of medieval noblemen. But never did knight or yeoman pride himself more in wearing his baron’s in- signia than do the bearers of the 1928 class monogram pride themselves in displaying that significant arrow on their breastplates and helmets of heather. The ‘old-gold arrow on a field of red’ is of more than historic importance. itvisea constant, remindemomthe motto: Horward, 1s our aim,’ CR HUNTING GR oumps Pu hap oe Page Thirty-nine
