Under the guidance of our very able sponsor, Mr. Loftus H. Ward, the Prepar- atory II Class has culminated a very successful year and are now one step nearer the top of the ladder. Although we may be slow and as some say green, we have aspirations for reaching our tentative goal in the near future. We call ourselves the Preparatory Class because our motto is, Get a founda- tion to build upon. We have been somewhat handicapped by a small class-enrollment but we are proud of the fact that we have done our utmost to support and participate in all the campus activities. Next year we hope to hold the position which the Freshman College Class have bragged about so long. 28 (US ■ §H

We pass sorrowfully from our happy, care-free verdancy to the burdensome responsibilities of Sophomores, leaving a record which reflects to our lasting credit, credit. Among our number we have two who won their letters in football. Hansen, Hanks, Chatwood and Heffern answered Coach Collins ' roll call on the first line basketball team and contributed heavily to the season ' s victorious record. They wound up the season in a fitting way by winning the inter-class tournament. The Freshman Dance in March evidenced our leadership in social affairs. With the cooperation of the Sophomores, we sponsored the only class dance of the year ( if we may be permitted to take exception to the Junior Prom). No comment on the dance is necessary for every student on the campus and some from town were among those who enjoyed the fine music and good fellowship of the occasion. The Polygraph, Student Government, Oratory, Dramatics, the Service Club, the Church, and this Annual have all called for contributions of brain and brawn from our class, and we feel just pride in the way we have responded to the call. As this, our Freshmen year, ends, we have one regret which we share with all our associates. That is for the absence of our former friend and classmate, Jimmie Craw. 27

Charles Levi- President Vernon Zook, Vice-President The Prep class was among the very first to be organized early in the year and everywhere — work, play, and at Prescott Commons, we have been well represented. Our basketball team stands in the ranks of the best. In the Student Government and the Societies, action and push harder has been our motto. The Seniors have reached the top of the ladder, and say we are green, but that is all right ; we will not condemn them for that for most things are more beautiful when green, we have green things on the table, and note — only green things grow. They have learned enough this year to know that they don ' t know very much. It is we who make it possible for the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors to be. After all we are one of the most important spokes in the wheel. To the last will and testament of the Seniors we are looking forward to with anticipation, for we hope to inherit some such property as their seats in chapel. We only ask them to take their gun along with them, and in return for this we offer them one last bit of advice which is — speed up for we are coming and have no four-wheel brakes. We have one other asset which is envied us by many of the other classes. Our sponsor is Mr. Carl Aldrich. That is just further evidence of our superior industry, for ' as has been said, we were the first to organize. W 29 US
