1924 Senior Class 1924 I T has occurred to many of us that the Class of ’24 entered M.S.M, either a year too late or a year too soon, because during our four years here there have been some of the most varied and hectic changes that the institution has ever seen: the “kicking of the ante 1 for graduation from 168 to 172 hours; “Doc” Armsby’s “Grade Points”; and the institution of new required courses, all of which tends to keep the student on the alert. In spite of all the above, a goodly percentage of those who started the four years 1 journey along the “Royal Road to Knowledge” with the Class of ’24 have stayed with the ship, and with the true Miner spirit have done their best to forward the interests of the school, and to make our class one long to he remembered in the annals of the school. The St, Pat ' s celebration put on by ? 24 in the spring of 1923 was of such excep- tional class that it may fairly well be said that it marks the ultimate, for nothing was left undone to make the event one from which to date future time at M.S.M. As students, the class as a whole has not been exceptional, but in athletics and in all campus activities we have done our full share and maybe a wee bit more, and we have never been backward in offering our services when they were needed. There is not a one of us but that feels a bit regretful at leaving our Alma Mater this spring, because for four years she has been so close to us that she seems almost to be a part of us. Wherever we allow ourselves to wander in pursuit of the elusive “career”, and whatever we finally do accomplish, we shall never cease profiting from our training received here; and we shall never forget nor regret the acquaintances and associations formed here. As a class, we pledge ourselves to ever be on the lookout for opportunities to raise the prestige of, and enhance the already good name of the Missouri School of Mines. Officers Curtis E.
