cs . ffwlgs ..,- ff1s 5 T'E' DQADIAH-W---.-f-fl This has been a very successful year in athletics. The Seniors held the Frosh to a scoreless game of football in the fall. The Seniors held second and fifth places in the annual track meet. We have had some mighty exciting class games this year. Our class has won every game played with the Freshmen and Juniors and all but two played with Faculty, during which the best of school spirit was shown. The Seniors have written some peppy yells and songs which helped the players to be victorious. Many parties were enjoyed after the games. Our officers for the second semester were: President, Howard Van Scoy, Vice- Fresident, Knola Weller, Secretary, Margaret O'Connor, and Edward Ryan, Treas- urer. March 9, 1927, the Seniors and Faculty were invited to the annual Senior ban- quet held at Colgate lnn, Hamilton, New York. There were excellent toasts and speeches given by the Faculty and Seniors. We will long remember this Senior banquet. The history of the class of l927 ends, but wherever we roam we shall always, yes, forever and a day, love and cherish our Alma Mater.

fs a Ae '1 ff? DQADIAH L1 HISTORY OF T1-IE CLASS OF 1927 As a painter views with satisfaction the picture which he has painted, thus does the class of 1927 look with gratifying thoughts on the memories of the past. The first week of October, 1924, marked the gathering of the newcomers and re- turning students to New York State School at Morrisville, New York. lt was a reg- ular reuniong every one seemed so welcome and right at home on the hospitable school grounds of dear old Morrisville State School. We freshmen complied with the regulations which our superiors or Juniors so proudly made. We admit the fact that we furnished much amusement for the Juniors and with good school spirit which we continued to have throughout the year. During the second week of school there was a reception held for the Freshmen, after which every one of the Freshmen knew all of their classmates, Juniors and Seniors. The Freshman flag of '27 proudly waved on the flag pole opposite Bailey Hall not to be taken by any Junior. The bids for the Fraternities were sent out after six weeks and the Freshmen made their choices. The class organization was strengthened by the election of ofiicers: John J. Whitmari, President, Robert Utter, Vice-Presidentg Edward Ryan, Treasurer, Charles Shepherd, Secretary, and Professor Severance was chosen the class adviser. One of the vital representations of class was at a banquet at Lebanon, at which the Juniors arrived just in time to say ffGood-nightf' having had their ride for noth- ing. Our class excelled in athletics, having five freshmen receive letters for football. We competed in the track meet and class basketball with good results. The enthusiastic feature of the second semester was the Frosh Hop which, after being postponed because of impassible roads was held, and the finest time of the year was enjoyed. Thus a most profitable school year ended. In October, 1925, the classes gathered to welcome their old friends and receive six new girls into the class. Believing uUnity is Strengthfi the class was organized, electing Peter Rasmussen, President, Peg Bridge, Vice-President, Estella Higgins, Secretary, and Stew Bene- dict, Treasurer. The first event of great interest was the Junior Class banquet, held at Colgate Inn, liiamilton. Every member finally arrived after some difficulty, oh, yes, to be sure the Juniors captured the freshman president and took him to the banquet. Junior Prom was the big event of this school year. The dance program was furnished by the Maroon Serenaders from Colgate. A The Juniors won the cross country run, taking all of the first three places. We were not as fortunate in basketball, but we did win a couple of games. When the school year ended the students were not happy to leave but looked forward to the next year with even greater enthusiasm. The largest Training Class ever organized in New York State was registered September, 1926. The Domestic Science girls and two year men joined the ranks in October, forming the Senior Class.
