I II have the minutes by next month. Reitzel: Mr. President, my clahss attendance has got somewhat out of gehah. Watson: Mine loo. I don t want to press this point too far, but a bell-shaped curve 1 ve drawn up for Soc 1 shows very spotty attendance. Montgomery: Men, there s only one thing to do, men: require the men to come.

Morley: But John. Herndon: Yes, Felix. Steere: What we need are some established students with established non-egos. Rittenhouse: Fundamentally, the students lack orientation. Haddlefon: There was a chap — a chap here — name of— of — Egg, uh, Egg Morris, never used to cut classes. Lunt: Apparently, malattendance and relaxation are rife.

SENIOR CLASS Creshman year wo sec the Class ol 10-11 startinc off as little more tnan ninety pairs of assorted legs topped witli sofas, armcriairs, and beer cases. There was the excitement of getting adjusted. tFie excitement of the first class election (Dave Chanihliss being chosen the first president of the Class), the excitement of fighting the sophomores, and the less exciting business ol paying for the missing doors and beds. There were the command performances at Club Founders and the secret schemes to liquidate Rhinie Boss Ramsey. There was the student iiuisicale and the Class was well repre- sented by Adier, Folwell, Lodge, Morian. and Velte. There was 41 s first big social affair. the Freshman-Junior dance, marked by the presence of one Oiles O. O OPHOMORC year we find the Class of 1041 re- turning as veterans — sweep up those gink- goes, rhinies. However, the costly entertain- ment of the precedinf; year was not repeated and the Customs Committee s non-destruc- ti e policy was a dull success. About this time .lames Melvin Stewart-Gordon became associated in the minds of the Class with Rich arcl Haliburtoii and Shipwreck Kelly. Vogt was at llic peak ol liis polilic ,il popularity, and Hemphill and Morian were digging in for a long stay in office. The Haverfordian was staggering about, and Professor Reitzel Nvas a bit dubious about llic wisdom of reviving a dead cat. I he Neivs took up the cry for an activities fee, and Wendell L. Willkie s picture made the front page (lie was guest of honor at a New York Aliuiuii diiuier). 12
