The TECHITE 1922 History of the Class of June, '22 HE Class of June, ’22, stands before you today at the climax of its first goal, which for four years we have striven to attain. Many more pages than the number which we are allotted would be neces- sary to give a detailed account of “our life at Tech.” For this reason we will tell briefly of those who deserve special mention. Of the first year little need be told; let it suffice to say that we entered as gentle, innocent “rookies.” As sophomores we began in earnest to show the “old Tech Spirit” which we had absorbed in our Fresh- man Year. Members of our class were to be found in all the activities of the school. We began to command the admiration of the upper classmen, who, the year before, had looked down upon us as insignificant “rookies.” The continued appearance of so many names on the Honor Roll began to draw the attention of both teachers and students to the fact that our class contained a large percentage of real genius. In our Junior Year we organized our class and re- ceived a charter from the G. O. For the fifth semes- ter we elected the following officers: Denison, Presi- dent; Bickford, Vice-President; Margaret Moore, Sec- retary; Moseman, Treasurer; Audrey Daniels, Ser- geant-at-arms. In the sixth semester we elected Den- ison, President; Bickford, Vice-President; Elizabeth Hutchison, Secretary; Moseman, Treasurer; Meloy, Sergeant-at-arms. As an organized class we became prominent social- ly by giving two successful open dances and a closed Senior Prom. As Seniors we became more prominent than ever. The following were elected Class officers for the first half of the year: Bickford, President; Denison, Vice- President; Moseman, Secretary; Elizabeth Hutchison, Treasurer; Laura Vandercook, Sergeant-at-arms. In February we elected our officers for the last se- mester. They were as follows: Carvel Moseman, President; John Bickford, Vice-President; Elizabeth Hutchison, Secretary; Thornton Owen, Treasurer; William House, Sergean‘-at-arms. We also elected the following Class Night officers: Adele Allison and Philip Holmes, Historians; Elizabeth Hutchison, Alson, Den- ison, and Samuel Lebowitz, as Prophets; Leight Bar- ber, Poet; Max Walten, Lawyer. Those who have represented us on the G. O. Council from time to time are: Shanks, who is now President; Margaret Moore, Secretary ; Moseman, Shaw and Den- ison as representatives. The former also served as Vice-President. Many members of our class have helped to make the Spring Plays a success. The cast of “Monsieur Pie i thm eH A 2 SELON A ANT a Seat maa Twenty-two

Beaucaire,” last year’s production, included Shaw, Tol- son, Walten, Holmes as principals and others who had minor parts. “If I Were King,” this year’s production, included Shaw, Walten, Barber and Bishop, who were principals, and other members of the class in the minor parts. “Tech Life,” our school paper, has the names of our classmates from time to time. During the Junior Year we were well represented; Shaw, Owen, Linville and Scrivener were on the Literary Staff and Bickford, Holmes and Barber were on the Business Staff. This year has been one of the most prosperous years Tech Life has yet seen. This is due mainly to the efficient work of Shaw as editor; Owen, Bickford, Barber, Eliza- beth Hutchison, Adele Allison, Walten and Lebowitz, who are members of our Class. On the football team we were represented by Pugh, captain; Simth, McCartee, House, Perry, Halley, Kline, Supplee, Shanks and April. %. q ot we fe WAAAY HTTPS HT vO The TECHITE 1922 The basketball team consisted of Supplee, Perry, Shanks, House, Whyte, of the Class of ’22. Captain Shanks, Whyte, Halley, House, Smith, Houser, represented us on the baseball team. The Cadets have never had better officers than Shaw, Colonel; Tolson, Bickford, Walten, Winnemore, Scrivener on the Field and Staff; and Denison, Owen, Jacob, Marks, Gleason and Lebowitz as captains of our companies. We feel that during our stay at Tech we have ac- complished a great deal; however, we realize that there is always a further goal to reach. We feel justly proud of our accomplishments here, and now as we go out into the world to try to accomplish greater things we will carry with us the remembrance of the days when we worked our way to graduation under the magic influence of “Ye Olde Tech Spirit.” Adele Allison and Philip Holmes, Class Historians, 1922. ., v AG LA NT Twenty-three
