It is the last class that has attended Marshall for eight years. Many of the members of the graduating class took their high school work in the old Marshall academy which was abolished four years ago due to the influx of college students demanding collegiate training. To more than any of the other classes that will follow, the present senior class is in point of years attending Marshall College the most Marshall of Marshallites. One of the members of the class — Gladys Chambers — has the dis- tinction of having attended Marshall from her kindergarten days. This is a distinctive feat no other person will ever have the opportunity to emulate. The outgoing of the present senior class removes from the campus of the famous old Sixteenth Street institution a number of students who have made their imprint upon the institution by their distinguished records in the classroom, in literary and dramatic circles, and in almost every phase of college life. The close of commencement activities will also see ushered to the close the scholastic career of Marshall ' s greatest all-around, all-time athlete — Frank Red Crist. For seven seasons in four sports, Crist has borne the colors of the Green and White on home and foreign fields. Nearly always fighting a battle against superior odds, Crist, nevertheless, has seldom failed to distinguish himself not only as an athletic performer of superior merit but a square sportsman who plays the game for the sheer joy he gets out of it. A college never has but one athlete like Crist, and he leaves a record unparalleled in length and attainment. Earl Duke Farrington is another great Marshall man of might whom graduation removes from collegiate athletic circles. Carl Anderson, Presi- dent of the senior class, is another athlete who goes out with the present graduating class. So is Page Hay. Although Marshall has been and is yet primarily a professional college for the training of teachers, nevertheless, the present senior class has en- rolled in its membership students who will go to other schools to complete their training in law, medicine, and engineering. In their passing out from under the classic shades of Marshall it can be said as it has been said of their going through Marshall that the senior class has not only held aloft the standards of the college, but they have done more, they have raised them. And if the past is any index of the future it can be well expected that they will go forth to emulate the high ideals that they have had inculcated in them here. Thus culminates the college career of the members of the Marshall College senior class of nineteen hundred twenty-six. May they go forth into the world of men and affairs not for power and selfish gain, but with the determination to use their talents in the dis- interested service of the needy. isf - 4 m Twenty-eight
