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

Of course, we admit that we’re exceptionally small; that is, most of us. In fact, we’re probably the smallest that these venerable old walls have ever harbored. But precious things often come in small packages. Ye s, we felt quite a change when we landed at Concordia with the strings of home still tied to us, still-we were satisfied. After we had counted our- selves and had gotten accustomed to our surroundings and to the know-it-all Sophs, we noticed that at Concordia we would have a lot of enjoyment be- sides simply studying. In fact, to help us while away our time we found the “bucks” (ask us who they are!) only too willing to furnish us with every manner of employment, so that by this time we’re actually masters in the “arts” of sweeping rooms, making beds, and performing the various other Freshmen duties. But then we also succeeded in getting some real recreation and managed to have numerous representatives in various sports. No one needed to re- mind us that October meant organizing a basketball team. Two coaches were secured to pick and develop a squad and they deserve high praise for their untiring efforts in molding the team and in bringing about a fairly suc- cessful season. Good material for baseball has also been found by the two baseball coaches and an equally successful season is looked for. In literary work the Class of ‘29 has shown even more interest and has contributed many members to the two junior literary societies, the Web- Sterian sana tne Welta Phimsioma. shrere as “well as in the classroom it-has had occasion to display an abundance of talent together with any amount of ambition to become proficient in oratory, debate, and composition. With so promising a beginning and with continued determination and class spirit we have every reason to Jook forward to a successful future crowded with happy events a with literary as well as athletic achievements.
