We were the largest and most promising class in the history of the College, the most intelligent (the psychological exams proved it), and perhaps because of our excess of vim, vigor and vitality, probably the hardest to manage. The Dean and some of the wiser professors, recognizing these as favorable traits to be found in a group of freshmen, set about in the first class meetings, to direct this enthusiasm into the right channels. During one of these meetings we adopted a very important sounding constitution, chose Dr. Busey for our class advisor, and elected the most suitable officers to the responsible offices (this was before the days of real society politics, which was to make the class of 1936 popular, or otherwise, in succeeding years). At the beginning of our Sophomore year we missed some of our classmates’ faces, but an unusually large percentage of the class re- turned. This fact is very noticeable in all four years of college; a large majority of the class which entered way back in the fall of ’32 has stuck together and has graduated with flying colors; this is another proof that the class of 36 is of a high caliber. It is interesting to note the number of town students comprising the Senior Class; there are twenty-five living in Jacksonville, out of a class of seventy. Very early the Class of 1936 made itself prominent in almost every phase of College life Political strife began early in the Sophomore year when the —from scholarship to athletics. “Phis” triumphed over the “Sigs” by grabbing all available class offices. As if trying to keep in tune with the times, the class had its political upheavals, bull-sessions, campaigns and elections. It will be to the Illinois College Campus and Fourteen to class elections that some of our future poli- ticians will certainly owe their success. It was during our Sophomore year also that we saw President Jacquith inaugurated. Our Junior year found many of our members acquiring fame for themselves in various fields.

Scholastically, this class has, as a whole, lived up to that reputation which was hers as fresh- men. Elspeth Wise was made a member of Phi Beta Kappa in her Junior year. Through all four years of College, there has not been one member of the class who has felt anything but pride in acknowledging the fact that he is a member of the Class of 736. Undoubtedly the success of this class is due to a large extent to the Faculty and especially our advisor, who has so patiently guided us, even through our political campaigns. Some expression of sentiment is certainly fit- ting for a Senior Class at graduation time and this class would like to express itself by saying that it isn’t going to be easy to bid farewell. We, although still the Class of ’36, are not the same as Seniors as we were as Freshmen, College has given us something which we realize could never have been acquired in any other place. Our memories of you we will have with us always. E. M. M.
