CLASSES Comes Autumn and the young man's fancy turns to - - college. Oh to be a learned man so that the better jobs are more accessible after the learning is done. Such is the philosophy of the Freshmen as they start on their careers of higher learning. We're going to see what happens in and about Cleveland is the motto of the Orientation classes, conducted for the benefit of the Freshmen, and off they go to visit the high spots of the great city. First for culture, they go to the Main Library and the Art Museum, then to the Museum of Natural History located near the doors of the Alma Mater. Still more concrete information is found at the newspaper offices, the factories, and typical offices. Contrast is illustrated by trips to the City Hospital, police courts, County jail, settlement houses, hous- ing projects, and the Correction Farm. In this manner a broader and more substantial outlook on life itself is offered. Besides all these trips around the town, more inter- est is created in industrial life by having guest speakers come to the classes. These speakers are personnel managers, insurance men, salesmen, and those who know a great deal about what is required of good workers. Besides these men and women, the classes meet ministers, doctors, and even some of the professors, who enlighten them further on the fields which they are looking into. There are more field trips too. The engineering students do the greatest share of such traveling, visit- ing plants and factories of all kinds. A few of these are steel mills, castings companies, rayon and woolen mills, a packing house, business machine companies, clothing factories, machine parts, dies-el plants, elec- tric companies including the Municipal Plant, paint company, general jobbing, and even a brewery. These trips take them to all parts of the town and they see before their own eyes, the actual creation of machines, clothing, and products that they have previously thought little about. 24

it f i - IORS Officers: William Pugh, Felicia Peters George Davis, Francis Shockey For five years they have worked and slaved and now they are preparing to relax and enjoy the fruits of their labors. The future for them is indefinite with great industrial activity on one hand and the prospect of a year in the army on the other. This class of ,41 has experienced a more event- ful five years than any other class graduating from Fenn, During their first year, the college was conducted only in the Prospect Buildings. Then in rapid succession came the acquiring of the Tower, the opening of classrooms there, the Skybar, the demolition of the Edwards Building, and lastly the opening of the swimming pool. Their feelings are mixed with sorrow for the loss of the homey atmosphere of the Prospect Build- ings and gladness with the enjoyment of the grandeur of the Tower and its countless ad- vantages. They will probably brag for years that theirs was the Class that grew up with Penn. The officers for the year were: Williani Pugh, The People's Choiceu, presidentg Francis Shockey, vice-presidentg George Davis holding the money stringsg and Felicia Peters keeping notes. Dr XVilliam Patterson was the class advisor. 26
