I ' lishinan Sop iomore Junior Senior History of Class of 1929 VOLUME I ( M September i, 1925, the largest and best prepared class ever to enter the halls of learning at Elon College matriculated as freshmen. We were determined to make the figure so dear to us — ' 29 — shine on more places than the water tank. After pa - ing our radiator fees to various sophomores, barking at the tank, running errands, such as to Dr. Amick ' s home late at night for pivot oil and the Maroon and Gold staff and to Coach Corboy ' s home for the scrimmage line, we settled down to business. Kor our president we selected Ralph Coggins, a very able ami efficient man. In athletics, the class of ' 29 was especially outstanding. A large part of the bas- ketball team, ba.seball and football team came from our number. In tlie inter-class basketball tournament all three upper classes were swept from their feet, and we ran away with the championship. VOLUME II Early in September, 1926, we came back, a little less in numbers, but undaunted in spirit. Red Jones was elected as pilot to guide our destinies for another year. The majority of us were now outstanding members in literary and social organiza- tions. Two-thirds of the total football scores were made by ' 29. Again we stalked off winners of the inter-class basketball tournament, having won eight out of nine games played.
