THEPICKOUT 1921 Class SNatorp, 1921 Freshman Days. How well we remember the day in which we began our career at Textile, the first day of October, nineteen hundred and seventeen, to be exact. Like all other new men, we were doomed to the play of the Sophomores. But that was the only day we bowed before any other class. The football team was well supported by our class, and only on account of a slippery field, did we lose our class game with the Sophs. Mid-years didn ' t trouble us (very much), and the second term ran as smoothly as the first. Our banquet was cancelled only because of a slight opposition among some of our members. Well do we recall the night when we cleaned up a few members of the class of ' 20 in front of Associate Hall, for trying to ride some of our classmates. Also, we remember how vividly the numerals 1921 stood out on the rocks in the river. Baseball came along, and again our members showed the real L. T. S. spirit. Finals followed soon after the baseball season, and as usual we came out on top. Sophomore Days. We came back our second year as members of the S. A. T. C. or U. S. N. R. F., and continued our studies along with our military and naval work. As in peace, so in war, we could always be depended upon. A few of our members had left school, or enlisted in some other branch of the service, but most of us were back at the old school. After demobilization, we went at our studies with even more vigor, and sailed through mid-years. About this time the Text and the Textile Christian Association were brought into being by some of our classmates. The baseball season opened, and ' 21 was well represented on the squad. By defeating the Fresh- men, Juniors, and Seniors, we were class champions, and were the first class to have our numerals engraved on the T. C. A. interclass athletic cup (also an addition to Textile during our days there). We missed our first Textile Show because of the Fuel Administrator ' s orders, but experienced our first Upstream Day with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction, having everything our own way. Finals came and were gone, and we departed until fall. Junior Days. Our class had dwindled down to about half its size this year, but those of us who returned, strove to uphold the good reputation which had been given to us. The varsity football team was captained by a Junior, and was well supported by Juniors. 23
