campus , ELVYN GINSBURG BOUNDS Senior Class The Year Books of the past three years will tell the tale of the Class of '29, of its endeavors, its struggles, its triumphs. With a cargo of experience the class is now clos- ing its career. Q The Class of '29 began auspiciously by winning the Soph-Frosh Brawl. This suc- cess seemed to be in a sense a prophecy for the class. In its Sophomore year the class introduced a practice which became a tradition -Sophomore Week. During this week the class published THE COLLEGIAN, pre- sented an assembly program, and gave a dance. Then a year later, it featured another assembly program and co-operated with the Class of '28 in sponsoring the second successful junior-Senior Prom. Heretofore, Senior classes at Fresno State College have been rather vague, indefi- niteorganizations made up of a few four-year students and possibly some of those doing graduate work. However, this year, with the fact of the University of Central California actually under consideration in the State Legislature, the fifty Senior students have a definite, workable class organization, the responsibility of establishing new traditions and carrying out those few which have been established. These responsibil- ities have been met capably, and the result has been a steady integration of the class. At the beginning of the school year of '28-'29, class interests were subordinate to school interests. Our athletic teams received, and justly so, the major support and attention of the students 'Thefirst project undertaken by the class was the annual Prom which is given jointly by the junior and Senior classes. New features were introduced which made the Prom a decided success and an improvement over Proms of the past. The chief of these features were that it was for the first time made a formal affair, that it was held at the Severance School of Dancing, and that souvenir programs were presented to the guests. 27

CAMPUS May 31 was the day especially set aside to honor the Seniors. Cn this day many interesting events took place. Beginning with the assembly in the morning, a delight- ful one-act play, The Lady and the Dragon, was presented to an appreciative audi- ence along with several clever variety acts. All participants on the program were members of the graduating class. In the afternoon athletic contests held sway. A base- ball game between the faculty and Senior teams offered hilarious entertainment for the spectators, and an unaccustomed workout for the dignified members of our fac- ulty. An inter-class swimming meet which followed brought the athletic season to a close with a display of aquatic ability. Then in the evening when all the contests, exhibitions, and whatnot were over and done with, the enchantment and coolness of the West Court was the setting for a dance. And in the loveliness of this scene and under the spell of the crooning orches- tra, the Senior class said good-bye to its Alma Mater. The Senior Class, after four years of college activities, associations and experi- ences, is leaving its Alma Mater prepared to enter new fields of endeavor where each on his own initiative is called upon to solve new problems. Of all the events of Senior life, Commencement Day is the most memorable as the graduate looks both ways from that day, over the paths in review of his varied activ- ities during the past four years, and ahead into the future where his success will be measured by his own ability to cope with the problems which will confront him.
