1925 L B T is wise to submit to destiny,,saith the proverb, and the class of 1925, being wise, is making early preparations to submit to the destiny which has promised it a place in the sun. The very entry of the Freshmen has been auspicious. Their initial Claim to greatness lies in their being the first class to start out under the new regime, and the first to be initiated into the wonders of the revised curriculum. Being the largest group of neophytes that have ever been admitted to the college is a second Claim that cannot be overlooked. In athletics the fortunes of the Freshmen have fluctuated between two extremes. The conclusion of the football season found the babes resting complacently in last place, and during the basketball tournament their tossers fared little better. But the cinder path proved a better medium for expression of their particular talents, and Frosh teams were in the van in the inter- Class meet and the Oregon City relay. The crowning achievement of the year, however, was a clean cut Victory over the Sophomores in the traditional tug-of-war 0n the shores of Crystal Springs lake. The social success of the class was assured early in its career by a hard times party pronounced by the old timers as Tithe best ever. But it was in the performance of their many community ser- Vices that the members of i25 really exceeded themselves. They proved admirable announcers of noon-time proclamations, eX- peditious telephone boys and Cheerful errand runners. Their enthusiasm will yet save Reed from the mediocrity of apassive existence! s? w. 3-? v mi Nd.Q . . we g.-- 1...... Page Forty-seven
