WT, , M ,,,,,-.1..1.r- The Class ofZ917 Between September 14-17, 1913, two hundred and seven individ- uals, assembled from the towns and country of Iowa and neighbor- ing states, were dumped off at the noted city of Mt. Vernon. Im-A mediately the atmosphere became saturated with a hue of delicate green. The little historic town was violently shocked at such an un- sophisticated body and wondered what other curiosities this world had in store for it. The stock market in chapel seats soared to an unknown level. Money grafters about Cornell declared unheard-of dividends. I It was soon discovered that this class was like plants-the greener the stock, the more vigorous and sturdy it is, and the greater capac- ities it has for development. With the aid of a few unsecured tal- ented seniors, the first class officers were elected: Scheeler, presidentg Darrow, vice-presidentg Mills, secretary, Briggs, treasurerg McCul- lough, athletic representative. From then on Cornell sat up and took notice of the wonderful growth and development of this un- usual class of 1917. The class was too busy to have even a Freshman Banquet. In the Sophomore year the class had a picnic at the Pal. Debaters were discovered, scholarships made and athletes were un- covered until finally the school realized that it was a privilege to be in the same institution with the class of 1917. In athletics the class had a good Freshman team in football, and they won the class cham- pionship twice in basketball. The class officers in the Sophomore year were Myers, Kreger, F. Brown, N. Belz and Benton. The of- ficers for this year are Kreger, Baker, Daniels, Scales and Frei. In November, 1915, the class realizing the need of some social function at that time in the school, gave the first annual junior Parle. H. R. F. Q49 ' 1' .
