RAVELINGS o P 1Q30 Marion Huff, Pres. James Speer, Vice Pres. Owen Wilson, Sec.-Treas. History of the Class of ' 29 192S ! The largest freshman class in history entered Monmouth College, one hundred seventy aspiring young men and women, to whom Doc once again gave those fatherly words of advice at the beginning of their college days. This class was soon reminded of its duty to wear little green caps, and. strange as it may seem to succeeding classes, the members of this class of ' 29 did wear their caps until Turkey Day. Scrap Day! ' 29 won that series pi contests so decisively that the student body has never since thought it wise to discard the ancient Pole Scrap. ' 29 was introduced to championship athletics in that glorious football season of 1925. A Knox game was won. Even the freshmen caught the spirit for they won the interclass track meet that year. 1926! For variety, perhaps, the Sophomores of ' 29 sucessfully defended the Pole in the traditional scrap. But then they turned their thoughts to study and more serious matters. Of course the year was not complete without a victory in the annual interclass track meet. 1927 ! Juniors made strong bids for places in many college halls of fame. Matthews, state champion orator, was the third Monmouth man in four years to win that ancient event. Mcintosh — that true Scot. He took all the honors and the headlines for himself at the annual Illinois Relays, as all-around champion. Seniors! Of honors there have been a plenty. True Scots have taken them as they came. Athletic captains — yes, Walker, Smith, Dickson, Mitze. Mcintosh, Brown. Swanson. Another state champion orator. Never before in Monmouth ' s history has one class pro- duced two great orators, such as Matthews and Speer. Four times in the last five years has Monmouth won in Illinois, and two times the class of ' 29 has furnished the winner. Scholarship! Our men have been proved capable, our women have been adjudged beautiful and talented, but, neither have ever been called deficient in the classroom. The Honor Roll tells the tale. I the freshman year fifteen were in this select group: in the sopho- more year, fifteen; in til ,jnior year, eighteen; and in the senior year, eighteen. It is note- worthy that throughout these four years, the class of ' 29 has had as many men as women on the Honor Roll each semester. Bernard Smith is an example of all-around ability — an out- standing scholar, basketball captain, and recipient of the University of Illinois scholarship for next year. ' 29 produced, too, the epochal yearbook the Ravelings of Progress, a fitting com- memoration of Doctor McMichael ' s work in Monmouth. Ours have been years of settled progress since the completion of the campus ; we have -,eeu the student body grow; we have enjoyed with Doctor his Anniversary Jubilee; we have grieved with him in the loss of our College Mother ; we have finished our college days just as that gracious spirit that guided our first year celebrates her Golden Jubilee, in our commencement, the Winbigier Commencement. ' 29 is leaving. May the history thus far written, be achievements just beginning. ■I HHBMHI Page Twenty-nine
