22 THE McKENDREAN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY By Ivan Moorman The class entered MicKendree in the fall of 1911. That year was ery eventful. Several members of the class had graduated from High School the previous June, and, consequently were possessed with more knowledge than they now have.

In the second year of their college course they accomplished a great deal of good. Having learned their relative place in college life, they with great condescension undertook to direct and guide the fresh- men.

Although, regretting the fact that the faculty and President have been so slow in following out their suggestions, they, nevertheless, have been patient and good natured with this body.
