 Our Class Organization In our Sophomore year we organized ourselves into a political body tor the transaction of class business. A Preamble and Constitution of ten articles, were adopted. One amendment was afterward made. The time ot holding regular meetings was fixed on the first and third Wednesdays of each school month, and we never failed to hold them. Special meetings were called whenever business interests required it. Officers were elected semi-annually. A record of the proceedings of each meeting was made by the secretary, and we now have the entire record of all onr meetings. In the perfect business method of this organization lies the secret of a large share of our success. There were often exciting debates and lively discussions, of course, and order was sometimes lost sight of; but never revolution or disruption. Proceedings were always carried on according to the Constitution and parlimentary rules. In these meetings we have acquired a useful experience, and they will be pleasantly remembered. Class Motto. Different Paths, One Purpose. Class Colors. Pale Bine and Canary Yellow.
