The D a k t — 1934 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY JUNIOR COLLEGE HF.N, on September seventli, nineteen hundred thirty-two, we, the freshmen of Junior Collej;e, strolled light-he.irtedly through the halls to our first classes, some interested spectators might have joined with the poet in sa)ing, How beautiful is youth! How bright it gleams With its illusions, aspirations, dreams! liut there were no interested spectators. The members of the faculty were too heavily lurdened by their professorial duties to indulge in poetical speeches praising the beauly of youth. And the Sophomores — shall we ever forget them? — were busy holding secret meetings at which they devised the ingenious rules (they later imposed upon us.) We, of course, were blissfully unaware of the evil designs of the upperclassmcn to hamper our freedom. Not for long, however, were we permitted to retain our bresliman innocence. Al- most over night we were forced into a bitter cynicism, due solely to such enforced in- lignities as wearing mismated slippers; dropping, and picking up pennies; and the usual green dinks and hair ribbons. The Sophcmores, ever solicitous, urged us, through their representative, to organize our class. The officers elected were: President, Stafford Cassell; Vice-President, Howard Thompson; Secretary, Blanche Esbenshade; Treasurer, Archibald Vance. Mr. E. .. McKay was chosen Class Adviser. By October the President and the Faculty evidently thought the new pilgrims sufficiently advanced on their way to the Shrine of Education to offer a distraction in the form of the annual Reception. There were, also, during the year, a number of in- formal social events. Of these, the Chestnut Party, and the picnic at Rolling Green were, perhaps, most enjoyed. Who can ever forget the rides on the roller co.i; ter — not mentioning any names! The Christmas and Easter Recesses had served merely as hors d ' oeuvre to the long Summer Vacation. Still, we were net dissatisfied to return to our boo!is, no longer Freshmen, but elevated at last to the dignified position of Sophomores. In the class election, Stafford Cassell was again chosen to serve as President. Other officers elected were: Vice-President, Robert Wharton; Secretary, Blanche Klepper; Treasurer, Alice Thompson. Professor Francis Geigle was chosen as Class Adviser. With the conclusion of such routine business, we were free to devote our talenls lO other affairs — helping the new freshmen; cheering at athletic affairs, in which our class members have always been active; attending the splendid recitals and concerts; and, by no means incidentally, proving that we were not the giddy young things of the year before. the Class is anticipating two events — after that, the climax of our two vears the presentation at the Seminarv At the time of this writini: of the class play, li clxiiiiiJ; anc — Commencement. We have been a congenial class. Commencement will mean the end of many pleas- ant associations. We have reached the end of one pilgrimage, and will be starting another, with new friends, new associations. Always, though, the influence of Dickin,son will remain with us to help ni the search for that which is always just beyond — our ideal. I 24
