K THE ISLANDER --l-Of! Senior Class In 1924 about seventy young and enthusiastic Freshmen entered Grand Island College, preparatory to making their mark in the World. Professor Rice was chosen to sponsor this class. Among their first suc- cessful achievements under the leadership of President Hayter was the defeat of the Sophomores on Class Day. As they settled down to the regular work of the college, individual members of the class began to dis- play their abilities along various lines-a number being successful in Foot- ball and Track and some in Forensics. Social affairs were numerous and interesting. About sixty returned the following year to take up the duties of the Sophomore class. Again members of the class won fame in Football, Bas- ket Ball, Track and Debating. The G. I. Club, the Stripettes, Kappa Omi- cron Beta and Sigma Tau Delta all numbered Sophomores in their mem- berships. One outstanding event of the year was the initiation of the Dean's new barn by the class. A Freshman-Sophomore Valentine party held at the Liederkranz was very successful. In the Fall of '26, twenty-two Juniors responded to the roll call of their Alma Mater-many of the class taking up the profession of teaching and others, that of home-making. F. A. Rush was Captain of the Football Team, and Douglas Hayman, Captain of the Track Team. Another o1'gani- zation was represented by members of the class, three being elected mem- bers of Alpha Sigma Pi. The Islander was the outstanding work of the year-on which all Juniors concentrated their energy. Commencement Day was saddened by the deaths of Glenn Beal, a prominent member of the class, who failed to rally following an operation. Some members of the class decided to take their last year's work at the University, and some entered the teaching profession. New additions were made to the class, however, bringing the enrollment to twenty-three. Our first social affair, as Seniors, was a party at the home of our sponsor. Just preceding Christmas vacation a caroling party was held, followed by an oyster stew at the G. I. Candy Kitchen. As we are approaching Commencement time and look with anticipa- tion to the future, we also look back over our college days with the hap- piest of recollections. We wish to express our appreciation to our sponsor, Professor Rice, and Mrs. Rice for the good times, as well as the inspiration and help for which they have been responsible throughout these four years.
