realized the importance of an additional year of seasoning before entering college and have returned to make their academic preparation so complete that there could remain no question of their abundant preparation for more advanced work. This section of the senior group has added many outstanding figures to school activities of all sorts-Coker, Crosland, Eaton, Fox, Bearden, Ragland, Sherman, and Curtis Walker are notable among the old men while Dunn, Garbutt, J. L. Gray, Kirgan, Touchton, J. P. Walker, and Williamson have attracted attention among the first year men. A glance through the remaining senior groups promptly shows that most of the prospective graduates have made themselves well known in their school. Of the Classical course all save one, Prosser, who has become almost a fixture on the Honor Roll list-have been at Riverside for more than one year and all are well known. Of the next group-the Scientific-only six men are first year men and hence in need of any sort of introduction. And yet there is hardly necessity of introducing Gilbert, McKee, McMillian, Mackie, Phillips, and Pitts who have already identified themselves in music, athletics, or scholarship, or all. Right now you can probably pick out each boy by the activities listed above. In the two groups left-English and Commercial-the percentage of new boys is higher than in the three already considered but space is lacking, so we shall ask you to read about all the rest individually. We regret that we haven't room for personal comment on every senior but we haven't, so you will have to rely upon your own judgment which is probably what you were planning to do anyhow. The Senior Class feels that it has done its full part toward carrying on the fine things for which Riverside stands. The class has done much toward making the Government Inspection for Honor School the great success that everyone feels that it was and it has provided in large part the battalion and company commanders who have made the successful continuation of military work an established fact. Further the Senior Class has proved an important factor in the handling of attractive social functions such as the Washington Seminary, Pan-Hellenic, and Com- mencement Dances, particularly in providing the various cadet commit- tees that have managed these affairs. In athletics, of course, the seniors have given Captain Dowis many valuable men. In academic matters, which are, after all, the most important and most ever-present of all, we believe that we have done well and it is our hope that our increased academic efficiency will be reflected in our work at college. For the past two years the academic office has been telling us of the improved standing in college of Riverside men and it is our expecta- tion that the Class of 1931 will effect a considerable improvement over the work of even the classes of 1929 and 1930. At any rate we are now eagerly awaiting the chance. . 1 9 3 1 fl Ii?::I J PAGE 21
