History of Class of 1981 ln September, 1927, one hundred twenty-two Black Cats entered Friends University to be experimented upon by Dean Baldwin's idea of Freshmen Week . Judging from the breeds of cats and their purring manners, the ex- perimentation proved successful. The program for that week consisted of a camp supper, the President's Reception and the Y. M.-Y. W. party. Dur- ing that time the cats developed such an air of superiority that they re- sented the arrival of the Owls ftheir Sophomore enemiesj who flew into Friends University the second week. The first Black Cat Party was held at Martinson's Grove, west of Wich- ita. It was a yowling success on account of the absence of the Owls. The second class social function was in December, when they gave a party in Recreation Hall. The main feature was the Rinky-Dink football team. The third affair was a leap year party given by the Pussy Cats. They en- tertained the Tommies in the Recreation Hall with seven dates for each evening of the week. The events for their first year came to a climax when the Cats defeated the Owls at the annual squall fight at Sim's Park. The next fall the Black Cats came back to Friends for the purpose of tam- ing the new baby Tigers. This remarkable feat was accomplished to the point where they made the freshmen carry their paddles and wear their caps like any first-class trained animal. The first party for the second year was also held at Martinson's Grove. The only worthwhile event of that evening was Raymond J udd's unintentional tumble into the Cowskin Creek. The next class affair was a skating party on the Little Arkansas River. In the F. U. favorites contest held in the spring of 1929 two Black Cats walked off with first place honors: Lola Basore, the prettiest girl, and May- nard Whitelaw, the best all-around man. And now the Black Cats are Juniors and still going strong. They edited the Talisman for the year 1930, and after publication and distribution of the annuals it may be fortunate for each staff member to have nine lives . U' TALlT?iv1 AN 'i Page Twenty ew
