The Class of ' 29 Gilbert W. Winters President Samuel Schmeichen Vice-President Clarence Beehler Secretary and Treasurer in I ■■ ! i T Ml ill IN September of ' 25 a large group of freshmen found themselves stranded on the Elmhurst College Campus. This group of young men were entering a period of four years work under the guidance of teachers and instructors. They were beginning one of their most memorable experiences of life, four years of study and enterprising cooperation. The freshman class numbered eighty-one members which was over the ma- jority of the three upper classes. With the spirit which everyone has when undertaking something new the class of ' 29 quietly planned a class rush which did not become a reality. It was in the freshman year that the members of the class had to adjust themselves to the new conditions in which they found them- selves and of which they gradually became a part. Some, however, could not make the adjustment and dropped out, others could not make the grade on account of circumstances, and others saw the need of finishing earlier. From the freshman year on through until the senior year they impro ' ed little by little. The members soon realized their purpose at college and many had to work extra hard to recover from some grave set backs. The class room was the center of learning. It was there that the class of ' 29 was introduced to new knowledge and where certain requirements had to be met. Each week the efforts grew more determined and the results more hopeful. The adjustment to the group soon drew the interest of the members of the class in school activities. The athletic teams were supported by a fair majority, the Glee Club was always well represented, the Y. M. C. A., the Elm Bark and the annual always found willing helpers in the class of ' 29.

HERBERT J. EARTH A. B. Hampton, Iowa The last of the Barths has set a record — a unique yet an appealing one. He held re- sponsible positions in many organizations, and executed them with remarkable diligence. The substance of a successful college ca- reer to this lowan was to play football and to see that his activities did not interfere with his dates. He is a firm expounder of academic freedom. His friends are many, his enemies few, if any. Success in life will be but a fitting climax to his successful college career. ERED ANDERSON A. B. Waterloo, 111. Andy knew that great men are not born ready-made, and that in the course of their development they do n ot make themselves heard and seen unnecessarily, but that they devote themselves to diligent study and hard work. Andy was the silent member of our class. His thoughts were bigger than his words, but he projected them with some dif- ficulty. His wise-cracks were full of humor and always brought their smile. He will al- ways be respected by his classmates and will be remembered for his friendliness. CLARENCE BEEHLER A. B. Wakarusa, Ind. Because nf his unbiased opinion and good judgment, Beehler is considered one of the leading men of our class. He is a persistent worker, doing everything to the best of his ability. We know him best as the assistant librarian and an active participant in foot- ball, basketball, and tennis. His athletic articles in the Elm Bark and I ' llmhurst Press are evidences nl his lit(r,ir - ahilit . His versatility is shown liy the facl that he is quite at Imme among his books, in llie con- cert liall. (ir at the playhouses. Hih future ha unlimited pussihilities. ' J ' wriil y-iiiiir
