Secretary anil Treasurer Seniors Iasi year, and Juniors this—such was the unique ex- perience our « lass has had as a result of its being the first class to l e graduated from Me Murry as a Junior College which is rapidly becoming a Senior College. Last year's senior class was a varied but congenial group of representatives from Simmons, A. C. C., Wesley. Clarendon, and Sul Ross. This group, with such a variety of dispositions, talents, and acquirements, came to McMurry ambitious of being “maximum only” and desirous of establishing “precedents” on any and all occasions. Miss Luker is a sponsor loved by all the class. It was she who helped us to be the “first” land incidentally the “last.” also) class to participate in a swimming party. She inspired us to ascend to the balcony of the chapel, anti to set the precedent of “Senior Week” and others now locked in the annals of our memory books. Incidentally, “the pillars at the entrance to the main driveway” I see Totem ’24) changed their form to that of a neat sum contri- buted toward an endowment fund for the college. Although our class is smaller than it was in ’24, we are still a busy and active group united in our purpose to continue to be “maximum only” until we shall come to be the “first” A. B. grad- uates of McMurry.
