As a class we have no history previous to this year. Not a few of our number have entered as graduates of two-year high schools, both from this town and elsewhere. A few began as Freshmen in this institution and have successively finished that and the Sophomore years, while still others have taken up the work after an absence of a year or more from school. At the first call meeting of the class a temporary chairman was elected and an effort was made to get the full enrollment of the class. At the second meeting an organization was effected and at the following meetings the organiza- tion took Such work as it found necessary. Our history has begun. Our class is made up of an unusually intelligent group of students. They have an aptitude for their studies and are assiduous workers. Our history will not end with today. XYe will make for us a name which will not soon be forgotten. The Seniors of 'lil think there never have been. are not, nor will be, any like them, but watch for the class of '14 and see-not merely their equals, but-their superiors. Some of the members of the class have already shown their ability along special lines or distinguished themselves in some way. Emmert XYolf and Raymond Stouifer represent us in the field of athletics. They are members of the lfirst 'College basket ball team and have made good in every game they have played, whether winning or losing. From the far-away land of lndia, limniert Stover comes to us. He has spent nearly all his life there with his missionary parents and has there gained all his education prior to this year. Olive Yetter is a graduate from the Art and Expression Departments and has shown marked ability along those lines. Donald D. Martin and llervin Ellenberger represent us in the College Cilee Club and Mr. Martin is also a member of the College Quartet. XYe are learning daily things new and strange to us. XYe are learning not only from our books but from experience. We profit by our mistakes which are growing less frequent and which will soon be left entirely to the Sophomore Class for their disposal. XYe leave our junior year reluctantly. Our work has been enjoyable and our professors kind. XYe face the future-'as we have the past-with a determination to succeed wherever we are.
