' g RAY OTEY KENNETH CULL FRED TAYLOR VicefPresident President Treasurer Class of June '3LL N a cold rainy night in September of 193O4most of the members of our class arrived in the fair city of Kirksville. What a sight met our eyes. Surrounded by eager fraternity men, who seemed determined to take our bags away from us, was the little funny looking station with the brick platform. Rain was also doing its best to make the scene in general look as dreary as possible. So it is easy to unf derstand that we set out upon our careers with more or less heavy hearts. However days passed, as days have a way of doing, and we began to realize that life and Kirksville were not so bad after all. We managed to pass the lirst year without any definite symptoms arising and that was decidedly encouraging. Our return for sophomore year was marked by clear weather so the general spirits of the class were much better than in the fall a year before. The year ran quietly enough with the exception of some Resolutions which were, to use a lay expression, nipped in the bud. During this year symptoms have begun to develop in almost every member of the class. White treating coats and instrument bags have begun to appear. Of course there were some that developed these symptoms during the sophomore year but they were only sporatic cases. It is with no little excitement that we look forward to next year. Final state boards, graduation, and then the field. That is the goal that we have been seeking for three years already. May the time pass quickly. k- 21 --1-1,-iilR17:.-,., ll34ll

. .V K I r ,s-an.-, -I. C. PROBY E. O. BACHER J. ED CARTER Secretary President VicefPresident Class of January '3LL LL too soon will come the day when we shall depart from the halls of K. C. C. S. forever as students. Perhaps we may return as sucf cessful field men and tell the classes yet to come about just how we made our success. Cnly one more short semester is left to worry about the eight o'clock class and if the judge is going to give an exam. Our class has become somewhat scattered in the course of the voyf age through school. Summer school during the past two years has taken its toll. A few have dropped out, to enter again in some lower class or to take up life again in the various places from which they came. No other class in the school can name as many different places as the homes of its members as can ours. We come from all parts of the country, from Maine to California and from Michigan to the Gulf. Foreign countries are also well represented, with three Englishmen and a pair of twins from Canada. Let graduation come, we will be ready, for our faith is great and our hearts are strong and we know darn well we will get along. HB3 ll33ll

ft- l'l Qi?-as l ,Sf , Q-I ' H. P. SWISHER ROY DESHAW E. C. WIEGAND VicefPresident President Secretary Class of January '35 AST year at this time we said we were the only bachelor class in K. C. 0, S. and we were rather proud of the fact. However there comes a time in every man's life when some woman steps in. So it was with us. The woman in question was Betty Slaughter and we must admit that she certainly changed things in our classes. No more of those good old man to man jokes with the instructor that we had been accustomed to in the past. However the jokes were not all .good and Betty is a cute little girl, so everything is rosy. There are a few vacant places in the ranks of our class. Each semester it seems that for one reason or another some member has dropped out. Several of the original members have passed on to the upper junior class due to summer school and to ad' vanced credits. Following in the footsteps of others who have gone before we have made an effort to do away with some of the old traditions that outline the treatment of freshmen. We did not as freshmen wear the green caps nor have any freshman rules imposed upon us. In turn when we became sophomores we let the freshmen go unmolested. Three semesters now stretch between us and graduation. We have many things yet to learn in that time and the days will be crowded, but if they are as pleasant as the days that have passed we will be satisfied. 14131 rr . l l35l
