R. SATTERFIELD, Pres. R. OBERHOLZER, V. Pres. G. JONES, Sec. R. EDMONDS, Treas. SENIOR CLASS N active senior Class is about to leave the campus. For four years they have identified themselves with everyline of activity, athletics, scholar- ship and other phases of the college life. They have established an enviable record'in scholarship. Four members were initiated into Phi Beta Kappa while juniors, and fourteen received this honor during the past year. Also, many have been on the honor rolls of the different colleges and have been given membership in Delta Sigma Pi, Kappa Delta Pi, and numerous other honor societies. In athletics this Class has had a large representation, as it was instrumental in bringing to Miami two Championships in spring sports last year and has con- tributed greatly this year to Miamiis success on the diamond and cinder track. Several men have been placed on the mythical. all-Buckeye teams and hold records as proof of their outstanding athletic abilities. Twenty men of ,30 have been awarded letters in the several sports. Seniors are to be found in all lines of activities. The Recensio last year and the Student this year were two excellent publications of which any class could well be proud. Debating, dramatics, honoraries, and other activities count seniors as their most active members. The Class has had a great success along social lines, also. Their three dances the Hop, Prom, and Ball, were events long to be remembered by those who atten- ded them. Pin'planting, itP. A. ingb9 and so forth, have been religiously indulged in by the seniors. Atruly balanced class will graduate in J une. T wenty-Six
