The class of '30 had its share of representatives on the various athletic teams, some playing on the first squad and several others in reserve who were to show their colors the next year. In forensic activities this class was prominent. Three of the four on the first squad of debating were of tin class of '30—Michael EvanotT. Robert Woodhams, and Birney Van Bensehoten.
