Senior (Clasts tSislnrif WE, the class of 1915, organized in our Sophomore year, and elected our dear departed but still famous “Billie” James as president, with his co-partner, Jane Palmer, as vice-president, and Miriam Erickson, as chairman of the social committee. We were evidently too young and unsophisticated for the social whirl, because our social committee exercised the “silence” policy. Nevertheless, under the able leadership of our adviser, Mr. Loring, we seem to have profited through this method of treatment. In our Junior year we took part in both social and athletic events. Our athletes were Jewell Whyte, Floyd Goff, Roy Bond, Leslie Hahne, Frank Roy and Harry Williams. We were the basket ball champions in our Junior year as well as in our Senior year. Our social events were a breakfast, a Christmas party and the Senior-Junior banquet. The class officers were Floyd Goff, president, and Beulah Faris, Chairman of the social committee—no doubt the two most difficult offices to fill. In early autumn we reorganized, Ralph Rouse being elected president and Isabel Payne the chairman of the social committee. Our former adviser, Mr. Loring, was unanimously re-elected. As bright and shining Seniors we are breaking records. Our athletes are still with us, but we have branched out into debating and public speaking more than formerly. To the editor-in-chief, Kenneth Holmes, and the business manager, Frank Roy, is due the unparallelled success of the “Maroon and White.” During the first semester a Hallowe’en party and Christmas party were given, the latter held at the house of Cassandra Love and participated in by both Juniors and Seniors. Though we’re very modest about it, the Seniors of 1915 are certainly endowed with originality. February the twenty-fifth was Senior Stunt Day. Such purple and gold flashes as dazzled our eyes on that memorable occasion! The committee, whose chairman was Elsie Massing, arranged a delightful comedy “The Kintry Store.” After the play, the whole Senior class joined in our rousing class song, accompanied by the composer, Edith Fairchild. The next evening, our president, Ralph Rouse, entertained the class at a most delightful party in the domestic science rooms The Senior and Junior classes gave a combination party March 26, 1915. We first went to “The Habit” and then came to Miss Harper’s rooms. The Senior-Junior banquet was a greater success than ever. The toast-master was Fred Sackett, long famed for his wit and wisdom. As a closing event of four happy years will be the class picnic on June fifth. In the coming years may we all live up to our splendid motto: “Esteem all things that are good. ” 21 C. L.
