Before we leave, however, let us look back over the four years just passed. Only nine of the thirty-three members of our present class were also members of that Freshman Class of sixty-eight men and women in September, 1928. As Sophomores we num- bered forty, but as Iuniors we were reduced to twenty-seven members, only eight of whom were women, The lures of Seniorhood, however, brought us recruits so that we have more graduates than the classes just preceding. Our president, Niemann Brunk, having served us ably throughout the four years. has made possible a continuity of purposes and interests which would have been im- possible otherwise, especially since we were unfortunate in losing our sponsor several times. Professor Cressman, during our first two years, gave efficient assistance, being especially remembered as our debate coach, When he was unable to return we chose Professor Samuel Yoder, whose recent career as a student made him a sympathetic advisor, Because of Professor Yoder's absence, Professor Enss, whose geniality and good will had won our admiration, was asked to finish the Senior year with us. We have always been greatly interested in debate. Both interclass and inter-- collegiate debating have had our loyal support. Although success did not always come our way, neither did failure characterize our efforts. Basket ball and other athletics also claimed our support, at which we attained a reasonable amount of success. Our class has been distinguished by its religious interests. Not only have we par- ticipated in Y. P. C. A. work, Christian Worker's Band, Mission S. S., and had a number of foreign volunteers for mission work, but we have had a number of minis- ters of the Gospel in our group, three of which graduate with us, There has been a definite interest in spiritual things and the events we will remember longest have been of that nature. As we look back we recall a number of other outstanding incidents which time cannot erase: the memorable week when we Sophomore women won both the seasons basket ball tournament and the debate: the attempted retaliation of the Freshmen when we celebrated our victories: the end of the first six weeks of our Freshman year: the night we won our first debate: the Seniors' sneak day when we were Iuniorsg our own sneak day: our first Freshman party: when we sponsored a Freshman class ourselves: the parties at Alta Housours home: our final parties, as Freshmen at Bon- neville Mill, as Sophs at Rome City, and as luniors at Christiana Lake: the day we received the emblems and actually became Seniors: when Nase, Beechy and Warstler reenforced our basket ball squad: the Senior women's basket ball season: our class reunions at Home-Coming: the cushion episode and our retaliation: our class break- fast at Professor Bnss's home-memories come in an overwhelming flood. The first four years of our existence as the Class of '32 have been interesting and inspiring. Our experiences have made Goshen College our college in a vital way. We have had our share of prominent figures on the campus, we have made our con- tribution, and without regret we turn the duties, with the opportunities of the Senior class, over to the class that follows. Our active life on the campus is at an end, yet the Class of '32 lives on! It cannot die! As we give our service in other fields the friendships and ideals which we gained here will go with us and be our guiding principle. -Lilly Esch tliirty
