GRADUATES Commencement exercises in Withrow Court are exclusive events to graduates. Its weighty meaning and emotional pressure are felt only by those in the position of leaving an educational haven to face an almost overwhelming future. JUNIORS Decision: symbolized by the act of choosing specialized courses with an eye to definite preparation for the rest of life; is the task of the student as a Junior. SOPHOMORES Social life seems paramount to the Sophomore after a fresh- man year of constant getting acquainted with a new life. The Sophomores return to the campus community; its people, places, and events; full of zest for living its life. FRESHMEN Hands extended in friendship greet the Freshman on every side. His whole life seems to be taken up with making new friends, a pleasant yet demanding and consuming occupation. He will not realize the tremendous value of this phenomenon until years later.

cyzujuaiea Moth-Zike, you emerge from your Chrysalis To flaunt your colors in the world of sun, To blaze your irail along the steps of time In a sudden, new found future. $ HE class of 1935 has been well repre- sented in all major and minor activities on the campus during its four years at Miami. Six of the class were elected to the ranks of Phi Beta Kappa in their Junior year and eleven more were chosen in their Senior year. Many others just failed to make the requirements for Phi Beta Kappa but were active participators in all honoraries. Omicron Delta Kappa had elected twelve senior men while six girls of the class of 1935 were made members of Mortar Board. The athletic teams will have their squads de- pleted by eighteen graduating lettermen. These Seniors were prominent in athletics. Brooks, Savatsky, and Lewis received merit on the E. FRANCIS, W. FOSTER, V. BENNETT 27 Buckeye all-football squads. Alston was given mention in Buckeye basketball line-ups. The track team possessed many Buckeye champs who will be missed. Also, the cross-country, tennis, golf, and baseball squads had some out- standing performers who are graduating. The Sophomore Hop and Junior Prom, which were sponsored by the class of 1935, were huge successes. The Senior Ball, featuring Isham Jones and his famous orchestra, was ac- claimed as the outstanding social event of Miamfs social history. We shall sincerely miss the class of ,35, and we hope that they will fare as successfully in post-collegiate affairs as they have fared in their four years of life on. the Miami campus.
