Class History. HE Class of 1909 met for the first time October 18th, 1907, with an enrollment of fifty-five, for the pur- pose of organizing. The following oiiicers were elected and served during our Junior year : President, W. Wallace Ried, Vice President. Oliver E. Mosserg Secretary, Elsie H. Keller, Treasurer, Victor Traub and Sergeant-at-Arms, George Bachman. The first social event of the class was held in the gymnasium on February 7, 1908. On March 12, 1908 it was decided that the Junior class challenge the Seniors to an inter-class game of Basket Ball. Valentine E. Thompson was chosen captain of our team, but later resigned on account of illness, Clarence D. Summers was appointed in l1is place. The game resulted in a victory for the Seniors, but the Junior boys did nobly as the score 17-12 will indicate. In the bereavement of our classmates Edith and Thomas Forcey for the loss of their father, we the class of 1909 tendered our sincere sympathy. Again We tried to show our goodness by sending liowers to our classmate Miss Lorene Anders. . A challenge was presented to the Senior class April 30, 1908 for a game of Base-Ball and accepted. This was a defeat for the Juniors 12-43. The report made by the Secretary May 13, 1908, showed that the class numbered sixty-eight, indi- cating that the class of '09 was likely to be the largest in the history of Perkiomen Seminary. May 19, 1908 Mr. Mosser was chosen to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Ried, the President who resigned and Mr. Balliet was appointed Vice-President. , The players on our respective teams received numerals as a reward for their service and the date for the inter-class meet was set for June 3. This resulted in a great victory for the Juniors- Score 45-23. The fall term of 1908 opened very promisingly with an enrollment of sixty-three. The first meeting was held September 18. The new ofiicers elected were : President, Edgar J. Balliet 3 Vice-President, Charles F. Rossell, 5 Secretary, Marian Moyer, Treasurer, Adam Robinhold. On January 19, 1909 the annual Senior sleigh ride was held. We drove to Quakertown where sup- per was served at the Bush House after which we all enjoyed a dance. The sleigh ride is memorable for the glorous time we had while there as well as the inglorious time some of us had on our return. The Senior-Junior Basket Ball game was played March 17, 1909, and resulted in a victory for the Seniors. Score 46-22. A class orchestra was organized on March 15, 1909 with Mr. Joseph Kuder as leader. This organi- zation will be a novel feature in our class-day program. ' The spring term opened March 31, 1909 with the class increasing and we hope in time to hold a worthy place in Perkiomen's History.
