I A. ANILLA Senior Class History We, the Class of 1932, attribute our fame to the many precedents we have set in de- veloping the traditions of Montclair. In our Freshman year, hardly downed by the insignificant position that was thrust upon us by the Sophomores, it was the men of our class who gave the first evidence of the spirit that has characterized our class. We formed the backbone of the first M. S. T. C. football team. The winter season brought basketball, in which both girls and boys excelled. The social season was marked by our Frolic, which was held in March in the college gymnasium. As Sophcmores, already launched on athletic success, our girls were champions in both basketball and hockey. The varsity basketball team also showed our prowess, since it was made up wholly of ' 32 ' s men. A friendly attitude was manifested during Freshman week, culminating in a reception dance we gave the newcomers. Our gala occasion was the Sophomore Hop, which started the Christmas holidays with a flourish. Nor was the dramatic ability of our classmates neglected, as shown in the various plays and pageants in which they took part. Our pioneer spirit was further reflected in the varied activities of the Junior year. Ours was the first class to hold a Junior dance for the Seniors. Her Step-Husband, was the play that inaugurated the custom of presenting a Junior play, proving to be a source of enjoyment to both actors and audience. The most outstanding event of the year was the Junior Prom, the first occasion upon which both dormitories were used for dancing. The campus was transformed by gaily lighted lanterns that outlined the walks between Edward Russ and Chapin Halls. It was during this year that noteworthy contributions to The Quarterly, representing the literary ability of our classmates, and contributions to the dramatic productions of the college were made. The high standard in the athletic field was maintained as well. This, our last year, has continued the established policy. In December we entertained the Faculty at tea in Chapin Hall. Our class then made possible the installation of the illuminated electric clock and striking system which rings the old mission bell in the tower of the administration building, but contributing its gift fund before graduation, to com- bine it with that left by the classes of 1930 and 1931. Practice teaching with all its attend- ing seriousness has made possible only one other social function during the year before the arrival of Senior week. Here again was an innovation. Early in April our class gave a formal dance for the Alumni of the two preceding classes. Our closing week of school began with the Senior Ball and following in rapid succession came a garden tea party for the Faculty, a tea dance, a luncheon in our honor by the Faculty, a picnic with the Faculty, Baccalaureate services and finally. Commencement. As one of the earliest classes to graduate, we will endeavor to carry on the work of establishing the customs of our Alma Mater. 30
