Herr In the fall of 1927 fifty eager Freshman enrolled in Elizabethtown College, anxiously looking forward to the new experiences before them. Under the direction of Professor H. H. Nye, our class advisor, we organized on September 27, 1927, choosing Benjamin Hoffman as President of the Freshman Class. As our motto we chose No Victory Without Labor. The next important event in the Freshman annals was the victory over the Sophomores in a tug-of-war at Lake Placida. In the Basketball season the girls were undefeated and the boys stood very near the top. Not only in athletics but in library and musical circles, as well, the Freshman class distinguished itself. Thirty of our members returned for the Sophomore year, a little older and wiser for the trials and successes of the Freshman year. Carl Zeigler was chosen as leader for our second year of College life. Various committees were appointed for social, literary, and athletic activities. The social committee very success- fully arranged for a banquet February 19, at Hershey Inn. The snowy night could not dampen the spirits of the happy banqueters. In the major sports the Sophomores held their own and the glory of the Freshman year was not dimmed but rather increased. The social activities of the year culminated in a good time at Penryn Park May 24. Already we were looking forward to the privileges and Thirty- y i

responsibilities of the Junior year — Carl Zeigler was chosen as Editor-in-Chief of the Etonian work and Trostle Crouthamel was chosen as Business Manager. In the fall of 1929 eighteen jolly, yet very serious minded, juniors returned to join the task of publishing a bigger and better Etonian. Everyone worked to the best of his ability for the accomplishment of this worth while project. The 193 1 Etonian was successful not only as a literary accomplishment but also as a business enterprise, for the treasure of the class was richer by two hundred eighty six dollars after all had been said and done. Clyde Deiter was the able leader of our Junior activities. Social affairs were not neglected during this, busy year for a very unusually successful social affair was held on a moonlight night as we hiked the snowy roads. around Elizabethtown. In May the Juniors entertained the Senior class at the Inn at Indian Echo Cave. The Senior year began very auspiciously with ma ny of the old members back and quite a few new friends in our midst. Mr. Deiter was chosen as leader of our class on the last round of its eventful journey. We immediately began to plan for the many activities of the Senior year. Arrangements for the class play. Senior trip, and commencement activities were discussed. Socially the class was not inactive for January 7, Amos Hummer memorably entertained the members of the Senior class at his home in Elizabethtown. We have enjoyed the year on College Hill and each Senior looks back with pleasure to all that has happened there. CLASSMATES OF ' 31 As drops of water meet and blend in sparkling pools. Then part, so we. Our lives for so few years are met And having joined, we part, and leave these schools. Perhaps we shall not meet again. We part, and yet Each carries something learned, remembers something shared. It is not wisdom, joy, or friendship we forget. Nor love; these priceless fruits of life enriched With us shall linger on -when xouth and schools have passed. — Jessie Woodward. Thirty-seven
