ilaistorp nf the 1916 lass The Class of 1916, of Phillips Eible Insti- tute, met and organized VVednesday, February -1, 191-1. The reason for organizing the Class was to promote a friendly rivalry with the other classes. Wie can do a greater work by being organized than we could have done otherwise. The following persons were elected as ofiicers: President, Frank Roberts: Vice- President, Fred H. Tilock: Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. B. H. Carr: Class Professor, Mr. XY. R. XYalker. The colors are delft blue and gold. and the Class flower is the Lily of the Yalley. During the Spring Term of 191-1, the Class held a mock trial in the basement of the Church. Those who took part were Frank Roberts, who was accused of stealing a mule from Margaret Akeg ll. H. Carr, the .ludgeg Lawrence Britton, Alex. Scott, bl. L. Gritiith the prosecuting attorneys: A. C. Mattern and G. C. Rosser, attorneys for the defense. The remaining members of the Class were used as witnesses. The room was decorated in crepe paper and pennants of the Class colors. The trial was a complete success. There was, in attendance, an audience of about -100 people who were all very well satisfied. The Class of 1916 debated with the Class of 1915 on the following subject, Resolved, That XYoman Suffrage should be a Civic Right. Those who took part in the debate from the '16 class were Frank Roberts, A. C. Klattern and G. C. Rosser. The Class met later and elected new officers, as Mr. Roberts had left the city, and Mr. Tilock wished to resign. Il. H. Carr was elected President and G. C. Rosser Vice-President. During Commencement week, the Class was given one night to render a Class program. The program was a success. The second week of the fall term of 191-1, the Class met again and re-organized. At this meeting, Mason B. Meeks was elected Vice- President in place of G. C. Rosser, who had resigned in order that he might enter the '17 Class. VY. R. XYalker, the Class Professor, invited the members of the Class to his home. The invitation was accepted with thanks, but the date as to when we should come was in- definite. On account of illness in the home of Mr. XYalker. hegave to the members of the Class a banquet in the lower rooms of the First Christian Church. The members of the Class all had a splendid time which was ex- pressed by a vote of thanks to Mr. Wlalker for his kindness. The Class has been very busy for some time preparing the First Annual to be published by the students of the Institute. The Animal Staff consists of ten members, who have worked strenuously for the success of the Annual. The Class has thirty members, and nearly all are engaged in Church work. Several are preaching the Gospel every Lords Day, in nearby Churches. Others are actively engaged as teachers in the Sunday School of the First Christian Church in Canton. Still others are teaching English in our Cherry Street Mis- sion. Several have preached the Gospel to foreigners on the Lord's Day, and occasionally during the week. The Class is improving its opportunity to do missionary work at home. Several of the members of the Class have vol- unteered to go to the foreign field, if God so wills. May the members of the Class of 1916, when they graduate and leave the Institute, be an honor to their Alma Mater. They full well realize their great responsibilities in being co-workers with Christ, and in carrying the Gospel message to those who need it most. May they all do their best and remain true to the Gospel. .ANNA CONWAY, Class Historian. Page Thirty
