With confidence inspired by successive achievements realized during the past four years, Ohio University ' s Class of 1936 takes its leave in June. In spite of two severe storms, this class was able to survive. The first of the two storms was well under way when they entered — the depression. Sadness comes with recollection of the second shock — the death of Dr. E. B. Bryan, late president of Ohio University. The class, however, is fortunate in having the opportunity of knowing and working under the new president, Dr. H. G. James. The Class of 1936 is proud of the list of its members who were elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In other honorary organizations, the class is also conspicuous. This class saw the Green Goat , a humor publication below Ohio University standards, re- placed by a more beneficial journal, The Ohioan . They have seen great athletic machines dominated each year by men from their class. In society, away from the academic life, the Class of 1936 perhaps reaches its peak. Last year, under its supervision, the Junior Prom rose to unprecedented heights. The Senior Ball, instituted within the last four years, will assume a place of major importance in the social activities of the senior class. It is not with conceit that the class reflects upon past incidents — incidents which are preparatory to a greater campaign but they have been enough to give them confidence which will be invaluable. This class has been continuing its campus life this year under the guidance of Bert Cameron, President. OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES Senior Class President, Cameron. Senior Ball Chairman, Merendino.

CHAIRMAN O ' LINN. PRESIDENT BAKER Seated: (left to right) Baker, Bibbee, Dodge, Trosset, Doran, Barrett, Tissot, Paltrowitz, O ' Linn. Standing: Mar- ino, Keesey, Humphrey, Leopold, Slack, McDaniel, Ncrris, Quinn. Absent: Atkinson, Swackhammer. With two years of apprenticeship behind them, the junior classmen are continu- ing their duties with ideals and ambitions for future achievements. As freshmen they entered college, fortunately, under the guidance of Dr. E. B. Bryan, and, unfortunately, in the continued grasp of an economic depression. They be- gan their activities under a new campus policy. The Campus Affairs Committee and the Selection Board settled all disputed questions, made all selections of campus officers, and approved all campus literature. There were no political campaigns, no rotten egg fights or Green Goats to influence opinions. With no outstanding opportunties in which to demonstrate their particular abilities, they worked along steadily, ambitiously, and conscientiously. In the second year, having more specific opportunities, they began to show more originality. The Selection Board chose Jack Baker as the junior class president and Patrick O ' Linn as the junior prom chairman. With these two efficient men leading their class, they entered their third year anxious to prove themselves worthy upper class- men. Their apprenticeship this year is under the influence of an energetic new univer- sity president, Dr. H. G. James. The outstanding duty of the class is to sponsor the an- nual Junior Prom, Ohio ' s main social event. With a large committee, they fulfilled their duties in sponsoring a really successful Prom. The success of the junior class remains unseen, but, by the end of another year, still more specific opportunities will be offered and they will definitely know those honors that their classmen can attain. They have already gained a feeling of security and confidence which will lead them on to a triumphant finish of four years at Ohic University. : 3 1
