QJJIP5 6- CRANK S McCONHELL MONTGOMERY McFADYEN Officers of the Senior Class SENIOR CLASS HISTORY INTO a world of economic depression, political disturbance, and spiritual skepticism the college graduates of 1932 are privileged to step. Enthusiastic par- ents and friends and the world at large look to us for a solution of the amazing problems and difficulties, which, they say. is beyond them.
