THE TECHITE 1924 helped to make the Senior Girls' team such a success? Several of the girls are out for the swimming team, and Anne Byler is the Captain of the girls' rifle team. Spring plays, dramatic club plays, and the Christmas play all have had members of our class starring in them. John Daly, James Whisman, John Schellhaas, Alice Chatelain, Grace Laleger and Elizabeth Robbins have attracted much attention for their dramatic ability. Was there ever a year when Tech Life was a better paper? We answer in the negative, and affirm our answer by giving as members of the staff the names of Gerard Snell, Editorg Kathryn Baxter, Associate- Editor, Dorothy Baumgarten, General News, John Murphy, Business Managerg Dorothy Webb, William Press, John Savage, Harry Fravel, Grace Laleger, and James Whisman, all efficient helpers. Those representing the class at various times in the G. O. were: James Whisman, President, Charles Pugh and Ward Greenwood, Vice- Presidents, Dorothy Webb, Secretary, Lester Baird, James Whisman, and Lawrence Manning, Representatives. Note the numbers of the class who have made cadets so prominent this year: Lester Baird, the Colonel, is ours, Charles Irelan is Lieutenant Colonel, Hampton, Garner, Dulin and Deckelman are Majorsg Guthrie, Clements, Hugin, Denison, Evans and Manning are Captains of our companies. The remarks about our cheer leaders for the past year have been more than complimentary. Here, once more does our class have shining stars in Greenwood, Baird and Staley. Thus we could go on almost indefinitely with the activities our class members are engaged in-Agora, Arts Club, French Club, and Radio Club. Participation in activities has not kept members of the class from main- taining high averages in scholarship, for the honor roll has had near the top the names of John Daly, Elick Norris, Hughes Evans, Lester Baird, Dorothy Baumgarten, and Gerard Snell, Our glance over the past gives us the satisfaction of realizing that we have served Tech faithfully and efliciently. We have become a part of her, laughed with her joys, and wept with her sorrows, gone through moments of depression, and come out again victoriously with her periods of success. But does Tech owe us anything for our service? Far from it-we are more than indebted to her for what she has done for us. Never again will we profit more from our experience and learning. It thus becomes a moment of deep regret when we must take our farewell of her whom we have loved and tried to serve. LAWRENCE MANNING, Class Historian assisted by ALICE CHATELAIN, Class Secretary. 14
