As freshmen, the lolmembers of the class quickly oriented themselves to the new colle- giate spirit and entered enthusiastically into school activities. Dividing their interests among music, clramatics, forensics, athletics, and journal- ism, and setting themselves to a high scholastic standard, they surpassed all expectations. The sophomore year saw the class doing still more in the various fields of endeavor. By this time several of its members had proven their superior dramatic ability and were much in demand. Also, the class was well represented on the national forensics tour. The class climaxed its activity with a junior year of originality and honors, taking first place at the annual Linfield Loyalty Lilt where it presented the now familiar HLinfielcl Chantf' sponsoring Linfield's first formal class banquet, and finally winning the much coveted social activity cup. With Bill James as its head, the Class of i940 began a most suc- cessful senior year by again taking the laurels at the Loyalty Lilt. The class' dramatic talent was fully revealed when it presented as its senior play the clever comedy Four Smart Girls. Later on in the year the class was proud of three members who went to the Grand Eastern Forensics Tournament and the Pi Kappa Tournament and made out- standing records. As a final symbol of their worth, the seniors were presented with the Freshman Day Banner, a tribute to the true spirit of cooperation manifest in the Class of I940.
