3 sa---A-:-A--1:-W--+---:--f.+. In-f Senior Class History When September's.cool1ng breeze was ushering in the autumn of 1920, there assembled at the Ferris Institute a band of would-be students who enrolled as college preparatoryiseniors. After the first weeks had passed, each day bringing Wlthft new 3CC1UH1U'fHUCffS, H meeting was called on September twentieth and Senior Class organized. Of course, we at once sought to find brave members who would be suitable as leaders for what destined to become the strongest class at. the F. The following officers were elected: President, Donald C. Gilchrist, Vice-President, John O. Degenhartg Secretary, Ruth Travis, Treasurer, Arnold Washbush. A few days later at a second meeting Gilbert johnson was elected Class Editor and a Social Committee was organized. Equipped with such an excellent executive force our organization expanded until now it embraces more than one hundred Seniors, who have developed an enviable class spirit. Of course, social functions must be duly chaperoned, so we unanimously elected Miss McNerney and Mr. Masselink as patrons. The invitation to act as such was tendered to them and they kindly accepted. There is no more fitting time nor place than this to extend our thanks to both Miss McNerney and Mr. Masselink for the many favors extended us, and for the interest they have taken in our welfare at all times. It is impossible to mention all our social affairs, but there have been many happy events which make our days at the F. T. ones long to be remembered. These have been in their way noteworthy achievements. Our first great social function was held Friday, November twenty-sixth. It was an All-School dance and was the crowning social event of the year of 1920. It was held in the Music Hall which was elaborately decorated with our class colors, Blue and Gold 5 bits of crepe paper interwoven formed an entire canopy overhead making a distinctly unique effect. Due credit must be given Miss Nellie Barr, Miss Grace Boice, Mr. Wm. Doran, and Mr. Geo. Walther for these decorations, as we understand that their entire turkey day was spent in making the hall ready for this event. The coming of the new year, l92l wrought many changes in our class. First, came the retiring of our original executive staff and the election of new officers. In accordance with the constitution, on january Thirteenth a meeting was called for the election of new officers, and VVm. Carpenter was elected President 5 Wil- liam Wilkins, Vice President, Ruth Travis, Secretary Cre-electedb 3 Gilbert john- son, Treasurerg and George Walther, Editor. At the following meeting the editor selected William Doran and Wilhelmine Schrage as associate editors. The first social function of the new year was to have been a sleigh ride party at Clear Lake but Dame Nature put one over on us and refused to give us snow. But not even Nature can fool the Seniors. We decided to say Au Revoir to a sleigh ride and have a dance instead. On February fourth we held the Senior Dance, giving our new members a chance to become more intimately acquainted with the class as a whole. Social affairs have not taken up all of our time, however. Always eager searchers after knowledge, we have broadened our minds in many ways during the past year. We have burned the midnight oil in order to fathom the mysteries of science. We have racked our brains over the intricacies of Caesar. We have solved the riddles of geometry and have pored over the writing of authors of 1 2. in A --- ew 'F-' gg ,gf-,-,,,,,,,,,.
