Jforetoorb XX ACCORDANCE with the policy that has characterized all her transactions in the past, Trinity this year decided that because of the heavy expense involved and the stringency of the times it would be more patriotic not to issue a number of the regular College Annual, The Chanticleer. There was a desire on the part of the student-body, however, to have established some permanent record of the activ- ities of the present academic year. As a result of this desire, the Archive management consented to make this last issue a feature edition. We sincerely hope that this volume may give a true insight to the high standard that has been sustained in all college activities this year in spite oi adverse circumstances.

Sample Treasurer M. S. Lewis Representative on Athletic Council Class Colors: Purple and White The class of 1918 entered Trinity College 212 strong. The second year this number was reduced to 145. An unusually heavy loss was sustained the third year and enly 83 members returned. Military duty and the stress of other circumstances reduced the final number of graduates to 65. The class of 1918 has been well represented in all collegiate activities, especially in forensic and athletic contests. During its four years stay here, the class has won the following cham- pionships : the field day championship in 1915; the tennis championship in 1917 and in 1918; and the relay race cham- pionship in 1915, 1916, and 1917. These last three victories gave the class the permanent possession of the relay cham- pionship cup. The presidents of the class in order have been : |. E. Ben- nett, A. G. Flythe, A. H. Gwyn. and L. L. Gobbel.
