FRESHMEN Officers — President Dagley, Secretary Locke, Vice-president Herrmann, Treasurer Went- zel. The college melting pot depends upon assorted ingredients for spice and va- riety. The new freshman has much to offer. He has vitality, unweakened by tests, lectures, and college report cards. He has enthusiasm undampened by the setbacks which the old guard has met. Above all, he has a long way to go and a lot of fun ahead. SOPHOMORES Officers — President Clevenger, Vice-presi- dent Bickel, Secretary Ernst. The sophomore presents himself as a sadder, wiser individual. To such a melting pot he can contribute experi- ence. He has had just enough educa- tion to realize how much he doesn ' t know. JUNIORS Officers — President Schumacher, Treasurer Noffke, Secretary Zeiler, Vice-president Haefner, Advisor Young. The college junior finds himself in control of most campus activities. The world is now his oyster and he has his professors well doped out. And so to the seniors, a more or less finished edu- cational product. . . .
