I Our four year game began in 1926, and all of our players seemed to be in perfect form. When the whistle sounded each one was eager to get on the floor. Strenuous playing marked the first quarter. Our opponents, namely our new subjects, were very difficult, and it was a hard task for us to compete with them. But under the captainship of Agnes Zwier most of the players retained courage, although fifteen of the forty-one failed to keep in training and were consequently taken from the squad. During the second quarter of our game, namely our Sophomore year, Gerald Klaasen acted as captain and easily directed us in our steady fight against our opponents. These seemed to increase in their ability, hence making it harder for us to cope with them. Fortunately, the half was announced just as all the players were badly in need of recuperation. Although thirteen players were penalized in this quarter, nine others were substituted, which gave us twenty to begin the next stage of the play. Much progress on our part was made during the third quarter - gain most likely due to the captainship of Laura Steggerda. Another formidable opponent was added, namely the junior-Senior banquet which absorbed much of our energy. Our tussle with this enemy awakened much interest among the spectators. Following a vacation of two months the final quarter was played with much more vigor than any before. This was also necessary considering the grave problems which presented themselves to us mainly the publication of an annual. Our opponents were also very much determined to beat us and at times nearly all hope of victory for us was gone. Only after intense lighting the whistle again sounded and our aim was realized. The main reason for our success in this quarter consists in the fact that Gerald Klaasen again was captain and that our team was so capably coached by Mr. J. A. Swets. This game is over, but life will continue to be a series of games, each of which we expect and hope to play with increasing zeal and vigor. AGNES ZWIER. Page TTPKYIYX-IOIII'

lIFDlDGllFllDlIRlIlllNIlGlll'S CLASS PROPHECY The door bell rang and Agnes Zwier came rushing into the room. Oh, I've oodles to tell you, she said, all about our old classmates. Start at the beginning, I interrupted, I didn't even know you were back from California. All right, I'll start at the source of the information, she said. It all began when I heard that Gerald Klaasen was going to give an address on 'San Diego's Future in the Air.' Of course I knew that he was studying aviation but I didn't think he was that im- portant. Why, he pilots one of the big Ford passenger planes across the continent every week, and Willard Nienhuis is his chief mechanic. After the meeting we talked a long time and he told me the whereabouts of all the members of the class. Diletta Buter is secretary for the 'Trans-Continental Air Transport' at the main office in Cleveland. He saw Gertrude Dykman in Seattle where she's living now and married to a sailor. The last time Gerald was in New York he heard that John Klan- derman was selling banana oil in the Bahama Islands, and Don Staal was disappointed in love and in desperation joined the navy. Rumors are he now has a girl in every port. What became of Bert? I put in. . O, Bert played the stock market and struck it rich and now he's cruising in the South Seas in his yacht which he's called 'Evelynf So she's his inspiration yet? I said, remember when even the teachers used to kid them? And, Agnes asked, who do you think grew famous overnight? - Ed Boeve. He made a new record on a motorcycle when he went from New York to Los Angeles in four days. And Sylvia, he told me, was the most capable nurse at Mayo Bros. What's Laura doing? I queried. Oh, Klaas says she's running a hot-dog stand at San Diego in her spare time, she's working her way through the college there. And she pulls in the prospects with her eyes - that's what gets them! I got a letter from Kathryn today, I said. She and Margaret are having a great time becoming musicians at the 'Chicago Conservatory of Music.' She said Annetta had Page Twenty-five I NO Xl! of xxx
