CLASSES AND KEPT US EVAN ULREY ' S speech discussion class met in- formally in the library seminar room. AT THE BEGINNING of the school year the stu- dent body may be roughly divided into two large groups — those who ' ve been here before and those who haven ' t; expressed more tangibly — those who know there is a glass partition in the library and those who must learn by the school of hard knocks. However, before many weeks have passed order has emerged from chaos and five classes have appeared. JIM TUTTLETON raises a question in Robert Meyer ' s poetry class. DEAN SEARS traces the course of the Canterbury Pilgrimage. 26

FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Herman Alexander, Vice-Presi- dent; Sarah Srygjey, Secretary; Dick Richardson, President. THE FRESHMEN IT COULD have been due to an exceptional crop of ne ' students, or perhaps to a new wave of enthusiasm that per- meated campus activities this year, but whatever the cause, the Freshman Class proved one of the most progressive and promising classes to enter Harding of recent years. No sooner had the flurry of registration week subsided than a new rush was on, this time to elect Freshman class officers. Banners appeared over night proclaiming Hayes for Presi- dent and What We Need is Rain and Richardson! Evi- dently this timely appeal proved good psychology because, as predicted, this new class found capable leadership in Dick Richardson, and he in turn found his way to the fish pond with the aid of cheerful supporters. Their Committee of Recommendations and Suggestions to the Student Council made thirty suggestions during the year and received recognition in Chapel, the Bison, and from the Student Council. Flowers and get-well cards cheered a large number of classmates, and new freshmen received letters of welcome at the second semester and were honored by a reception party in- the Emerald Room. Big events in- cluded a Hobo Party and spring outing for the class and as a reminder of their interest in Harding, they contributed a gift everyone could enjoy. 0 - Jack Wood Sears, Class Sponsor j ' l A , 28
