closs of nineteen thirty-seven seniors Motto: Sincerity, Simplicity and Service. Colors: brown and goldg class flower, the Marigold. ln the fall of i936 thirty-seven students registered as Seniors. At our first class meeting we elected officers and began the work of the year. Why did we sneak in the fall instead of the spring? To this ques- tion we submit three possible answers: to be different, to instill into the minds of lower classmen, from the very beginning, the fact that Seniors really existg and third, to have it recorded in the Maple Leaf . With Dean Bender's aid we escaped, leaving our dignity and juniors behind us. The first night was spent in Indianapolis where all the girls passed as school teachers. The next day we drove to Brown County. The high-lights of the day were: a visit to an old jail, an introduction to the famous photographer, Hohenbergerg chicken dinnerg the purchasing of rubbers, and hikes in Brown County mud. lake Slagel, may his wit never grow dull, lived up to his name by keeping us breathless until we reached Goshen at l l :OO P. lVl. the same night. Here we again say Thank you to the juniors for the surprising but delightful reception. A large fire in the meadow, hamburgers, a yellow moon, pie, and the fact that it was held at joy Hooley's made our first party a success. To cele- brate the beginning of our last semester as undergraduates, we had a game party in the Home Economics rooms. High score honors go to Francis Troy- er for drinking fifteen cups of cocoa. For some strange reason we forgot to organize a women's basketball team. However, the men remembered and although they did not keep the score-keeper busy, they got more laughs than the other teams. We do not expect to be remembered for our attainments in athletics, and our scholastic achievements will no doubt soon be a thing of the past. We have tried to live our motto: Sincerity, Simplicity, and Service . As we separate, may we continue to allow these three great principles to in- fluence our lives. -Lois Miller

closs officers CHARLES KREIDER, B.A. Wadsworth, Ohio Physical Science, Biological Science President Small, but able to carry responsibility, an unobtrusive leader-that's Charlie. Civen something to do, it is done directly and with ability. His good judgment and initiative have made him a capable and efficient personage on our campus. Nature -birds, animals, flowers-is his specialty. We have h:re a combination of business and friendliness, a serious mind, yet a lively and energetic nature. Plans for next year: Teaching.

MARTHA PLANK Harrisonburg, Virginia French Secretary A will to do, a quiet capability, a hearty laugh: they are all Marty's. Haste is the one word lost from her vocabulary. Always busy, but never in a hurry, she neither wastes time nor crowds it too full of unnecessary action. One is attracted to her by her friendly smile, which is as well known as her laughter. Studious, capable, unruffled is Marty. Plans for next year: Homekeeping Class Sec. IV, Y.W.C.A. Cab. III, IV, C.W.B. I, II, III, IV, Foreign Vol. Band III, Peace Soc. III, Sec.

WILLIAM FRIESEN, B.A. Dhamtari C.P., India Music, English Vice-Presid:nt Some personalities must be searched for, others cannot be hid. Their striking char- acteristics are clearly visible. Musical, artis- tic, literary, clever, and sincere, Bill exhibits an unusual array of talents. He is probably best know for his excellent bass voice, with which he grumbles on the low notes left untouched by others. His ready wit has been welcomed on many occasions. It would al- most be sufficient to say four-square . Plans for next year: Attend Westminster Choir School. Class Treas. II, Vice-Pres. IV, Gospel Team Il, III, IV, Cer. Club II, III, IV, Audubon Soc.

The unusual has arrested the attention of those who value variety in life. Qufetness is not an indica- tion of inactivity. When not searching for an unusual picture to take, Paul is deciding upon some unusual trick to play. He is fond of his camera, and is interested and efficient in photography. When working, he is care- ful, quiet, and steady-never too busy to do his best. Plans for next year: Research Work. Class Treas. I, IV, C.W.B. III, IV, Cos- pel Team IV, Cer. Club IV, Audubon Soc.
