Four years ago thirty-eight papooses entered the Houghton Reservation to secure higher education. Twenty-six of these have reached the rank of big chielftain'3. We believe that our Alma Mater has influenced our lives in a Way that will mean much to us in later years. We do not all know what professions the future may hold for us, but next year some will be teachers, preachers, and business men, while a few will continue their school work. In our college days we sought to develop the fourfold life. For this reason we participated in the religious, the athletic and the social realms of our school as well as the scholastic. The class boasts of athletic stars. Our boys' basket- ball team gained second place in the class series While the girls' team was not so successful, nevertheless, they showed the spirit of real sportsmanship. Six of our boys and four of our girls played on the Purple and Gold' basketball squads, while three members have been successful in tennis tournaments. Other branches of sport have been participated in with equal success. Besides this, we have supplied officers for most of the student activities. Social functions have predominated from time to time. Especially in our senior year, we have enjoyed numerous parties and jolly frolics. These gather- ings have ranged from early morning breakfasts to late midnight feeds, and from outdoor steak roasts to dignified' formal banquets. It was during these seasons of fun that we became intimately acquainted and interested in each other. With all our pleasure and fun We did not forget .our object in coming here. In spite of our participation in school activities, we have not neglected scholastic standards, and a number of our members have appeared on the honor roll each t.ime. During our senior year we have maintained the highest scholastic average. XVe are proud to say that two of our number Will be on the faculties of our XVesleyan schools. Also, two are completing both the theological and college courses. Perhaps the spiritual atmosphere has had the greatest influence on our characters. Our education has been directed by a faculty Whose chief object has been to glorify God. Their spirit-filled lives have often inspired us toward the deeper things of life. Each member of the class of '27 is leaving With a greater conception of God, while the majority have a practical knowledge of His sa.ving grace. Undoubtedly, the greatest source of the spiritual success of the group has been found in the class prayer-meetings, which have been held every Wfednesday evening in the theological room. .The senior tribe has assembled at this scenic spot on the Genesee from various sections. Most of them claim the Empire State as their home, but some are from the Hoosier, the Keystone, and the Wolverine. . -R-egretfully, we leave our Alma Mater. Words cannot express our appre- ciation for what she has done for us, and We sincerely hope the links of the chain which bind us to her may never be broken. 1 E261 Eta, If 111 H' wif. .
