Class Officers AMMLIJ' Venemon ,ink Ballantyne Trolan Senior History N SEPTEMBER I935, the largest freshman class of Linfield's history arrived on the campus to enroll in the fields of education, business, and science. There were 233 members in the class. Size was not the class' only advantage, for early in its career signs of talent, leader- ship, prominence, and spirit were apparent. Traditional rivalries with the sophomores were won, and at the encl of its first year this class had won the social activities cup. In l936 the class returned to Linfield as one of the largest sophomore classes. This second year the class of '39 conquered the freshmen by burning the Homecoming bonfire. The sophomore girls defeated the freshmen girls in basketball which was a noteworthy victory. The enrollment of the class in its junior year was IZ3 students. Continuing its fine work in the many fields of activities on the campus, the juniors with their Rouse 'em, Souse 'em '39!H again won the much cherished social activity cup. This was the symbol of their exceptional ability in leadership and talent. As seniors, the class presented the current Broadway production, You Can't Take It With You. As in the three preceeding years the members of the class gained recog- nition in forensics, music, student Christian work, literary and scholastic societies, athletics, and in student body leadership. At the end of its fourth year the class of 1939 left Linfield with a record which will be hard to break. It was the largest class that has ever been graduated from Lin- field, it numbered 99 graduates. This class saw Linfield grow: in 1935 the women members initiated Falling Hall by being its first occupants: in l936 its members pursued knowledge in a new library, in 1937 it saw a new dormitory for men added to the campus buildings, and in l938-39 it saw a Presidenfs home spring up beside the beloved Cozine Bridge. The class already holds many memories of Linfield and in the years to come neither Linfield nor the members of the class of '39 will forget these past four years of accom- plishment.
