IN x S The Senior Class E, the class of '28, have at last attained the goal which we visualized four years ago, and toward which we have been striving earnestly. As we reach the end of this most momentous period of our lives, we are constrained to review those influences which will shape, in no small measure, our course in later years. We realize that our Alma Mater has given us a conception of life upon which we shall build for the future. We have acquired our ideals from association with Christian men and women, dedicated to service, whose lives we shall endeavor to emulate. Some of us, indeed, will be teachers, others will enter the ministry still others will pursue the study of medicine. We have grown in numbers during our four years. We had but twenty-nine members when we entered upon the pursuit of higher learning, and, although several of these are no longer with us, others have joined our ranks until we are now thirty in number. ln addition, we have four honorary members, whose ac quisition has been achieved by matrimony. It has been our endeavor to participate in every phase of college activity. Our efforts in athletics have produced uniform consistency. Both our boys' and girls teams have valiantly upheld the honor of the class in basketball tournaments Several of our boys, and some of our girls, have been members of the Purple and Gold basketball squads. We have also been represented in other branches of sport and have enhanced the interest of each. One of our fair members is captain of the Gold girls. u A desire for recreation has led to numerous social diversions during our four years together, and a superior organization during our last year has produced even more intimate fellowship. We have enjoyed long hikes at dawn to prepare break fast in the open, hilarious gatherings at the homes of various members, and formal banquets redolent with dignity. Our class discussions during our Senior year have aroused forensic abilities hitherto unsuspected. The effort todevelop the social side of life, however, has not dimmed our in . tellectual achievements, nor hindered our spiritual growth. The honor roll has re peatedly revealed our consistent scholastic effort. We have furnished prominent members of the debating team, and winners of the oratorical contest. Our musi cians have gained favorable recognition in vocal and instrumental work. And we have taken an active part in promoting Christian work, both in college and in the surrounding towns. Several of our number have already graduated from the theo logical department, one has held a charge and ministered to it regularly in addl tion to pursuing his studies. I It is with genuine regret that we leave the classrooms of our Alma Mater and separate to the Helds of our various professions. We are sincerely grateful to the members of. the faculty for their patient endurance of our inevitable shortcomings and for their counsel and guidance. 199.6 H 0 T 1 b e E
