The Two Dozens' On September the fifteenth, nineteen hundred and twenty, there as- sembled in Cotner chapel the largest class in the history of the school, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-four. Class elections took place at once. Leonard Brown was elected president, Lloyd Klein, secretary and treasurer, and the cycle of college life swung into action. During the year of '20 and '21, the sixty-three members of the class ranked higher in college activities than any other class of the school. The Class of '24 placed more honor students than any one of the other classes. She put more men in athletics. During the second semester, the class staged the play The Gold Bug. The cast was directed by Jack Leonard and carried Richard McCann and Bertha Fishbach in the leading roles. When the forensic season opened, Richard McCann and Floyd Leavitt were placed upon the debating team, bringing more honors to the Class of '24, McCann being elected captain of the afiirmative team. Many picnics and parties were enjoyed during the year. Among them, a trip to Robbers' Cave at the first of the year, and a Freshman-Junior mixer later. The tennis championship of the college was captured by Harold Cooper in the singles, who with Clyde Sherman, '23, also placed first in the doubles. In the fall of '22 the class moved to the sophomore section, and found that it had dwindled to forty-eight. Again the Class of '24 ranked the highest in college activities. She placed, by far, more men in athletics than any other class of the school. George Raver was elected captain of basket- ball for '22 and '23, McCann, Leavitt and Smith placed on the first de- bating team, McCann again captaining the affirmative. Randolph Smith took first place in oratory and competed in the state contest. As Sophomores, the class successfully produced the play The Thread of Destiny. The important parts were carried by Bertha Fishbach Frances Newens, Mildred Sandstead, Allegra Thomas, Harold Cooper, Richard McCann, Floyd Leavitt, and Glen Hays. The entire cast was one of the best that Cotner has produced. The Cotner Collegian was edited almost wholly by Sophomores during '21 and '22, Richard McCann, Editor- in-Chief, Leonard Brown, Assistant Editor, and Randolph Smith, Corres- ponding Editor. Although surpassed in numbers by the Class of '25, the Class of '24 has never been surpassed in the various departments of college life. Each day brings added honors. Each year the goal towards which the class strives is surpassed, and new fields of endeavor are opened for work. Its attainments will always be a challenge to coming classes, and it is with pride that the college sees them advance step by step above the others, up the long ladder to a high scholarship, and the attainments of pure and noble young womanhood and manhood. -L.
