at E -i l 2 e i F ' l l E E IE, Ei , E: at s E They re Poets Tool it You've been to visit Cotner? p i Ah,-and what impressed you most ? I l Well, to tell the truth, dear questioner, It Was the mighty host Of young folks Wearing green and White, l Whose smiling faces, eyes so bright, l Were passing ever to and fro, J, No matter Where I chanced to go. Yi' The Whole West Wing at chapel time, They fill to overflowing, f For quantity none can compare, l l Those folks are up and going! 1 5 When cheers rang forth in mighty tone, j l They seemed to come from them alone, f When songs pealed out upon the air, , You knew the Freshman class Was there. - V They're firm supporters, one and all, 4 i They prove it at each game, if For be the weather good or bad, Each one comes just the same. i Besides upon each brawny team A Freshman member can be seen, gl In fact, from what I heard about 'em, L There Wouldn't be any teams Without 'em l In looking through the school Collegian ' Some headlines caught my eye, l l Which seem to prove without a doubt lp, Their quality ranks high. l l The Sophy girls were beaten badly, I l The Sophy boys,-they struggled madly But all in vain, for they Were beat And with the Juniors nursed defeat. l l The folks are full of fun and pep, l Good will just shines from out them, l You can not nurse the blues, or grouch, l When you are round about them. l l So I should say to everyone ll? Who Wanted lots of Work, plus fun, l' Just pack your trunk and take the train And be a Cotner Freshyman. -Leslie R. Olston, '25. 1922 Page Seventy-t

The Class of l9Z5 The educational force of any institution would be sadly incomplete and inadequate unless it had as one of its aims the development of social sympathy and understanding. The students of the Freshman class be- lieve their greatest accomplishment is the gaining of an ideal character as a motive that will guide them through their college career. Conse- quently, the Class of '25 registered ninety students who entered Cotner to gain that ideal. It is a distinction to attend college without being forced through the ordeal of wearing a green cap. Thus we can be as haughty as Sophomores or as dignified as Seniors. Since we have escaped this humility we believe the Freshman of next year should be required to wear this green brand At the first class meeting the class colors were chosen, which were green and white. The following officers were elected to lead us: President, Fay Dobbs, Vice-President, Ray Borgaardg Secretary, Freda Mills, Treas- urer, Ransom Dustin. Several members of the class won places on inter-collegiate teams representing Cotner. Five men made their letters in football. They Were: Bock, B. Lange, Cave, Bradley and Borgaard. Ray Borgaard played center on Cotner's basketball team. Miss Melvena Lodwig won a position on the oratorical team. Lawrence Berry was chosen on the affirmative debating team. Another accomplishment of which the class is proud, is the winning of the inter-class basketball honors. Our strongest opponent was the Sophomores, whom we defeated by a margin of two in the last minute of the game. The class party was remembered by all as a big TaEy Pull in the gymnasium on January twentieth. The night was snowy and everything tended for a cheerful and happy time. The upper classes are sometimes small. They contain only intellect- uals and people of scholarly attainment. They are generally exclusive and victims of convention. But the Freshman class includes people of many degrees of mental and physical ability. It had variety, and most of all, individuality of scholarship, when they entered college. 1922 Pg' SA' t,- 8. 8 QYOII V 0118
