Of the class membership as it now stands only one has come through the entire seven years from 1907. In 1909 the class began to assume definite proportions and five of the class can trace their allegiance back that far. 1911312 In 1911 the class membership reached its apex of twenty. This was properly the year of verdancy. The neucleus of the class which had been brought over from the prep department had been sufficiently ob- servant during its silent years to notice what the proper station in college for Freshies is, consequently it served as leaven for the whole lump. And so the class did not always exploit itself to disadvantage.

Indirectly this fete helped to start things moving and paved the way for class distinction and later events. For about a month later at the Senior-Freshmen basketball game, the '15s hung in a most artistic way another more elaborate likeness of the '16s. But the '16s took offense at this deed and swarming down off the sidelines they initiated a free-for-alli' in which the school generally participated. The '15s accom- p-lished their purpose, the '16s did not, for they never saw their dummy again. Inter-class debates were instituted in the spring of this year. In these the '15s vanquished the Freshmen and Academy. The final between the Seniors and Sophomores was not staged for obvious reasons. The social times held this year were numerous and always full of '15 spirit. The .-42,..
