FAREWELL FAIR ELM HURST • THE 19 1 3 CLASS SONG By Paul Winger ' 13 and Fred Daries ' 13 E ' re these loved bonds we sever, Classic Halls, a last adieu! May you be the seat of knowledge. Moulding men the ages through! Teachers, at whose feet we learned. Kind farewell to you we bring; School-mates, who have shared cur duties. Fond good-bye we sadly sing. Chorus: Elmhurst thy sons love thy wafted banner, Yearn to live once more through those great days. Thou, our pride, shalt never be forgotten, Elmhurst fair, loudly we sing thy praise. Now farewell, cool shaded nooks of Elmhurst! Sad farewell, sweet joys and halcyon days! As the ivy upward climbeth, Gath ' ring strength from year to year. So will mem ' ry cling more firmly As we carve out our career. To your precepts high and lofty. Your ideal that we ' ll guard well. Elmhurst proud, our broad foundation. Alma Mater, dear, farewell! 26

THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 19 2 7 THE CLASS OF ' 27, nine in number, is glad tliat it is the largest class to be graduated as Bachelors by Elmhurst College, but it chooses to hold this distinction for one year only. It hopes that the Class of ' 28 will be more in number. In 1924, we as Freshmen numbered 45 men. The possibility and capability of the class was shown when, as Freshmen, they were brave enough to publish that year ' s annual on their own initiative and responsibility. The versatility and ability of our class members was shown in all the college activities, both curricular and extra-curricular. In scholarship, we believe, we stand with the best. In activities we were represented in all phases. Our athletes held captain- cies, earned letters, and were recipients of Y medals. Many of our members held presidencies of various activities. During the four years we were represented as Presidents of: Y. M. C. A., Schiller Society, Glee Club, Student Union, Inter- national Relations Club, as Editors of both the Elm Bark and Elms, and Business Managers of the Glee Club and Elms. After being graduated from the Junior College, many of our classmates entered Eden to pursue their theological studies. Nine of us returned for the Junior and Senior years. As a Senior Class the present group has enjoyed a unique series of class meet- ings. Every month brought a feed by the round robin system. With Sheik Schultz to lead things, good times and real fellowship were had at each meeting. CLASS OFFICERS Harold P. Schultz Henry G. Kroehler Carl Marquardt Edward Volle Earl Klein Paul Peters .
