CLASS HISTORY H 'Lives of great men all remind us . One-sixth of a score of years ago there came into the halls of this institu- tion the first representative of this illustrious classmGordon Starr, in the glory of his first pair of long trousers. Since then our class has been enhanced by the choice intellects of many parts of the globe-Maine, Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia, England and far-off Sepitan. From Maine came Edward Dickson, who holds the record for constancy. He has made a name for himself in the Scientific Department. From merry England came Rev. W. W. Whitehouse to read Greek, take moonlight walks and play tennis on the University Heights. He has carried out his purpose with characteristic zeal. ' The class will always feel indebted to Brown County for President Brooks and Orator Kress. Many times we have been stirred to the depths by Kressl oratory while all have secretly marveled at Brooks, monomaniaeregistrars. The Hoosier state has sent Edward B. Severin, who, in spite of anonymous letters, tick-tacks, and even a narrow escape from drowning, has gained the honored title of University Librarian. There is in our midst a name-sake of Sir Isaae Newton. J udging by the originality and ingenuity he has displayedlin certain wild exploits, he bids fair to be a worthy successor of the great physmlst and experimenter. The silent memberaA. J . Peters-has by hard work won the appellationa The Digger. Yet between classes he has taken time to smile at all of the girls and even talk once in a while to the girls from Virginia. One who aspire to comfort the weary and relieve the heavy-laden is Wm. Carson. He has always proven himself a conscientious worker, faithful to ideals. Then there is Mary Pugh, always ready With a smile and a word of cheer. She has ever been modest and retiring, yet industrious and full of energy. Who could forget Orville Bowker, known to some as uPete and to others as ttBowk ? He used to go through the halls like a cyclone, whistling or sing- ing as he went. The same Vim in his class work has brought him a long list of IIAQSI!! On a very rainy evening, one year ago, Gail Unglesby, a ttsmall town girl, found her way to the University. For the flTSt few weeks she was very home- sick, but has since been heard to say that she is glad to be ranked as a member of the class of 16. We found our gain in Daytonls loss when Russell Olt registered as a pros- pective B. A. Yet he was not entirely 10st to his home city, for he has spent each week-end at the place of his heartls desire? Our old standby, Prof. Horton, lends the needed dignity and gravity to the class. He has acted always as the balance wheel helping us to strike the happy medium. What would we do without him? With a feeling of satisfaction we look back upon struggles completed and much work accomplished. Yet it has been spiced with a bit of fun. In years to come what member will not smile when he hears 0f mock trials, barrels, cat fights. Then there have been the literary societies, socials, picnic excursions, basket-ball and tennis, which have relieved the long hours of study and come pleted our experience. Before us lies the untried future, into which we will go with the ideals un- conconsciously formed in the days spent at Lebanon University. lPttge Thirty-fmwl
