Charles Forsaith, President Waldo E. Sulke, Vice-President Mentor Officers; Gordon M. Scott, Secretary and Treasurer Moses H. Goldman, Member of Athletic Council Mentor Class $tstorj — Class of 1920 Our doings as Freshmen and Sophomores need but little reviewing. Like all beginners, we thought we had the best bunch of fellows of any class that ever entered our school. Whether we were the best lot or not is more easily determined by the record we have made. Let the doubtful investigate. Many of our first and second-year classmates, with a real true spirit, offered their services to the Government in its time of need. We surely did miss them after they had left us, and we often wished that they were back with us once again to share the honor of our victories and to help us bear the burden of our defeats. As Juniors, the class of 1920 continued to do the good work which it had started. In number we were about the same as the year previous, for we had lost but few men. These missing ones had become members of some branch or other of the service. 25

THE PICKOUT 1920 Upon our return to school we found that a new system had been arranged for us. Now, with the school under Government control, we were to combine military drill and study. This, of course, applied only to those who were members of the S. A. T. C. unit. The new program made it necessary to drop some of the studies from our regular schedule and to change some of the others. But the change didn ' t hold us up the least bit. We settled down to work and were soon accus- tomed to the new routine. It was not long before, living up to all our class tradi- tions, we were well underway and going strong when our studies again resumed the normal course. After the close of the war, we received our discharges and were once again ordinary students, ready to continue the regular course of study. At the beginning of the year 1919 we got back to the old grind. There was much work to be done in the remaining twenty weeks and everyone was well aware of the fact, or soon became so. But once going, nothing could stop us and, as a result, we all came through in good style. Interclass athletics were a sort of a side issue this year; baseball being the only sport on the program. We were beaten by the Sophs, but that didn ' t give us any cause for worry. You know you can ' t expect to win all the time. Had the other events taken place, we surely would have held our own with the best of ' em, as we had previously done. As we left in June, so we returned in September. There was but one difference: we were Seniors. We were now ready to shoulder a little more responsibility, to rely more upon ourselves, to dig deeper into the mysteries explained in books, and to work harder than ever before. Work , whether it was work in the class-room or on the athletic field, was a word which none of us feared. Now that we were Seniors, it was quite essential that we have a finger in the various school activities. We were well represented in athletics, and our men were to be found on the different committees in charge of the social affairs. Of course, we do not intend to imply that we alone were responsible for the success of these affairs, but, if you look into the matter, you will find that the 1920 spirit was there. So you will find us in all events: we ' re there either in person or in spirit. After three years, our football team was defeated. To be sure, it wasn ' t a bad beating, 7 to 6, but it was a defeat, and we admit it. We may redeem our- selves yet, since interclass basketball and baseball are still to be played. You may be sure that we will try our best to get our numerals on the mug before we depart. Now that the school year is fast drawing to a close, our remaining days at school are numbered. The days which we have spent here will not be soon for- gotten. They have been too pleasant. But the question is, When shall we be forgotten? Have we made a favorable impression upon the instructors and the student body? Let us hope that we have. Since our success in the future rests mainly with ourselves, let us continue to do our best; nothing more can be desired. 26
