S Honor Society President ........ ' ............................ Joe Shaw Secretary .............................................. Gertrude Eschweiler I ,HIS society stands out boldly as a great headlight in Tech's career. It has developed as the pinnacle of scholastic success, and becomes the ambition of all serious persons and loyal students. It stands in scholarship for what the Block T Society does in athletics. We need men who combine both--all round, big, well-developed, many-sided men,- leaders. We appeal to the Honor Society members to participate in ath- letics, we appeal to the athletes to belong to the Honor Society. This com- bination is hard to beat! It would result more and more in a true and thorough Tech Spirit and insure for Tech the honor of achievement and distinction. This Tech spirit also comes from the zealous co-operation of those inspired to make other Honor Societies and schools equal to Tech and its Honor Society, and this has only proved to make Tech one of the fore- most schools in the West.

L.- v..,7 The Junior Class President ...........,............................................ Bruce Codding Secretary ......... ......... W alter Taylor NE of the most active organizations of this term 'has been the- Junior Class. This class was organized through the efforts of John Walhridge with the purpose of promoting a closer spirit of fellow- ship between the members of this class. The co-operation of the Juniors with their officers made it possible to compete against the Senior Class in such a manner that the Junior spirit was the surprise of the term. In sports the Class of '21 managed to stand firm against all-comers, one of the hardest fought battles being the Junior-Senior baseball game which finished with both teams claiming a victory. The social side of the class was featured this term by a Junior Prom while many of the Juniors were seen at the popular evening dances of the term.
