SENIOR CLASS Having almost arrived at that destination which it has so long sought, namely gradu- ation, the senior class, vi ith the touch of mingled sadness and pleasant anticipation that is common to all senior classes at this point, hesitates on the doorstep to the wide world — and while it is hesitating we may make a brief survey of the class and its accomplishments. Although the senior class has not been unusually fruitful in producing outstanding campus politicians, it has as a whole demon- strated an avid interest in campus political matters. The senior election was won com- pletely and decisively by the Coalition party this year, and an exceptionally large vote was polled by both of the contending parties. For the first time in a number of years the record of the football team was gener- ally accepted as highly successful. No small part of the success may be attributed to the efforts of the several senior members of the team. Such men as Veller, Vercuski, and Sprauer were exceedingly valuable members Outstanding men such as Kehrt and Porter contributed much to the accom- plishments of the basketball team. Codbold in track, Cillum in wrestling and many other seniors were outstanding and will be missed next year in their respective sports. During the career of the senior class, dramatics have shown a noticeable devel- opment. Nelson Grills, Betty Ann Brown, Verlin Stephens, and others have been re- sponsible to a large degree for the quality of many campus productions. A similar development in journalism, the result, perhaps, of permitting students to make journalism their major subject, has occurred during the past four years. Among those seniors who have proved themselves cap- able and useful in this line are Robert Cook, Marcus Purdue, Catherine Arthur as the first woman night editor, and Croan Creen- ough. Many have devoted their efforts to a number of activities and been useful and outstanding in all. Bob Porter, who in his capacity of Union president added a fitting touch to a successful university career by acting as host to the Association of College Unions convention, may be cited as an ex- ample. A senior woman who has a similar record is Lois Rake, who as president of A. W.S. served as hostess to the conference of Women ' s Self Governing Associations held this spring and was automatically na- tional president of the association. Such seniors as Ralph Skaggs have stood out in campus government and service work, and numerous seniors have inclined their talents in no particular direction, but have, throughout their university years, given unfailing enthusiasm and support to the many projects of University and Class.
