'lihey were becoming leaders in Student Government, taking part in plays and operettas, and teaching the lower classmen all the tricks of the trade. By April the juniors, with the invaluable aid of Miss Young, promoted the annual soiree. It was this year they really became acquainted with their jovial sponsor, lVlr. Gerhart, whose jokes are known by every class, usually before he tells them. Having passed through the periods of being lower-classmen, upper-elassmen, and lower upper- elassmen, the forty-niners became the upper upper-classmen-the seniors. livery boy and girl was determined to make the IUOSI of his last year.
