30 T II F. LINCOLN LOG glides. John Rieley, William Prosser and Norman Skinner produced a similar effect upon the girls. The decisive subduing of our combatants tended to make us rather conceited, nevertheless, a great amount of credit was due us for our accomplishments. We realized our common dependence upon each other individually and swore that at our first chance we would band together when we had once become seniors. After discontinuing our military principles, under the guidance of Miss Van Fleet we were given the occasion, as seniors, to form an organized class. We did not have the suggestions of Benjamin Franklin as did the constructors of the United States constitution but all necessary advice was given us by Miss Van Fleet. The government was a pure democracy, each member of which was given one vote without restrictions regarding race, beauty or education. The executive board consisted of John Voss, president; Ruth Glover, vice-president; June Schmehl, secretary; Andrew Ruska, treasurer, and Jack Graulty chairman of the executive committee. These officers were elected and proven satisfactory without the aid of the political parties or other obstacles. When it came to the financial question, it was decided to require of each member a monthly toll of twenty-five cents. There was no mention made of property inheritance or income taxes. Very little or no argument arose in the running of our class, the credit for which must be given to the absence of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. In September, 1926, with everything going along peacefully, the organization, now numbering eighty-five, devoted most of its time to social entertainments. The success of the formal dance and class night showed the exuberant spirit and co-operation of the members of the January class of ’26. —Herbert Miller.
