R THE ISLANDER Junior Class In September, 1925, seventy high school Seniors shrugged off their harrassing cloaks of dignity and eagerly donned the cap and bells again. Freshmen-college Freshmen this time. They accepted gracefully the stigma attached traditionally to their lowly station, conscious always of the superficiality of their oppressors. When the time came to assert them- selves they modestly did so by winning the class scrap and forcing the campus activities to operate under a banner of a new and strange device. Having asserted themselves in formal combat, the class of '29 pro- ceeded to show its magnanimity by doing great and Worthy deeds to honor the name of the college that had doubted it. Its members inaugurated the there-to-fore unknown practice of Sophomores defeating Freshmen in the class scrap and claim no responsibility in the noticeable lapse of this re- form since their time. The victors again displayed their generous and for- giving spirits by joining the vanquished in a three-course Wiener roast at Schimmer's lake where all animosity was buried. Disinterment of said animosity might serve to rescue the time honored class scrap from the langour into which it has fallen since the days of the twenty-niners. But to bring this chronicle up to date. The class did not suffer the usual curtailment of membership after their second year, and began work with thirty-five, sixteen of whom were: of the original stock. Merrill Youell was chosen executive and members of the class who have been in positions to need his co-operation can testify that he's been the kind of a president a president ought to be. This being the term wherein it is customary for Juniors to break into the publishing game, Elma Buchanan was elected Editor and Esther McGrath, Business Manager of the Islander. Now for a peek into the golden book of the college. We find that the Juniors cover the pages. In athletic, scholastic, and religious work they have done nobly and well. Many of them have been leaders of societies promoting the extra-curricular life of the school. In 1927, Myron Rum- mery served as President of the Y. M. C. A., Harold Eislie as President of the Life Service, Paul Goodwin as Editor of the Volante, Esther McGrath as President of Sigma Tau Delta, and Paul Nitzel was elected as Captain of the 1928 football team. The social events of the class have been characteristically informal- the time, the place, the right gang. The industry of the students has been so marked that to assemble them the President has often found it neces- sary to make an announcement of a business meeting. Theatre parties, valentine parties, and just parties have so well organized the class that every member regrets the departure of several -who they know will not return in the autumn of 1928. 1928
