Our Senior Class Shall Eastern prevail: We sav that she shall. And our part we ' ll do To push her on through To glorious heights Through shadow and lights. The history of our class through the Junior year was recorded in previous volumes of the Milestone. At the end of that Junior year thev took the pledge quoted above, and they now record here the things that the class of ' 31 have accomplished in at- tempting to fulfill that pledge. This class claimed the largest enrollment of any graduating class of Eastern Teachers College. Thev claimed the partial accomplishment of one of Eastern ' s ideals, that the majority of their class were in continual residence at Eastern since their Freshmen year. As evidence of their part To push her on through to glorious heights , various members of the class have assumed leadership in many campus activities. Members of the Class of ' 31 have served, this year, as presidents oi the following organizations: Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A., Home Ec. Club, Sigma Tau Pi, and Sigma Lambda. The Editor of Eastern Progress, and Captain of the Football Team, were supplied hv this Class of ' 31. Toward the ideal of establishing customs that would become TRADITIONS at their Alma Mater, they have instituted this year a Senior Class Day, with a chapel program, luncheon, and an afternoon of entertainment. Thev selected a Senior Regalia and a standard invitation, and presented a Policy Book for the future classes of Eastern. They have gone forward into various fields, holding high the standards of Eastern, always keeping in mind the helpful association of the faculty, and the camaraderie of a threat student bodv.
