poseclly ol' rebulce, which enclecl up with the remarlc that il help woulcl have been neeciecl, it might have been volunteered. That glorious revolution had its boomerang eliliect, though, the llollowing year, when another unsubrluecl class turnecl on the twenty or so sophomores who came out lor the pee-racle ancl assertecl their rights in no uncertain terms-to such goorl effect that Rags Coan, il you will remember, beggecl oil on the grouncls ol' being a football playeri But alas lor their originality, no triumphal march into town maricecl their accession to power. So we still have something on them. As juniors we grew more seclate, but it was justly fitting that our class shouicl mari: the return ol' big name bancls to the campus at large by bringing Glen Gray ancl his Casa Loma orchestra here lor our class clance ancl Hai Kemp lor the Nliiitary. Ancl now as Seniors we are still busily engagecl in aclcling to that store ol' traclition to which we have contributecl so generously. Senior Vveeic, uncler the clirection ol' burly, goocl-naturecl Nlilce Bullarcl, promises to become something ol' a classic lor get-togethers, with plans lor a class goli' tournament, a lielcl cl-ay, ancl woncler ol wonclers, a whole clay at the shore at some private club, with the Senior Bail taicing place on our return that night. Before we close, there are names we shoulrl remember. Our athletes, .iel'l'ercls, Pringle, Klinsman, Tentschert, Allen, Phe Smith, who ciosecl a liour year campaign by winning an iC4A champion- ship lior Rutgers in the incloor two-miie, Bencler, Faullcncr, ancl that group ol' marvelous basitetbali players who again macle his- tory with their lone clelieat by a one point margin: Lepine, Lins, Jerabeclc, Pennington,-all merit our applause. Among the twenty-liour men eiectecl to Phi Beta Kappa we lincl three Upson scholars anti tour who have combinecl scholar- ship with athletic achievements, Kiinsman, Gaslciil, Kammerman, ancl Pucciani comprising the unusually versatile quartet. Nioe Cornin putting out a liberally iiiustratecl Turgtun, Atsie Kammerman maintaining a highly interesting publication, ancl .lack Xwiiiiamson incorporating into his boolc improvements all who reacl herein may note, all macie literary contributions of note. Anti even the Freshman Hancibooic gives promise ol becoming more than the trite repetition oi previous generations, with a new constitution being' set up by the Council of three unciergracluate eclitors ancl three members ol the aclministration. No class history woulci be complete without a reference to the help the Bureau ol Personnel anci Placement has oilerecl the members ol our class. lxfir. Heycls clepartment has clone much to maize the terrors ol graciuation less lor many ol us, ancl we were incieecl fortunate in our opportunities. Anti now, all too soon, our reminiscences must enci. lxfluch has been omittecl, much cannot be tolcl, but each in the secret repository ol' his mincl will carry away with him precious memories of his four years here, memories which we cannot augment, memories with which you must in the outline oiierecl here. 27

Today, as we were about to he graduated, they telescope miraculously into a few highlighted hours. So it is fitting that we try to single out some of the incidents ot these four years and tix them herein so that in luture years, when the pressure ot added time will have compressed our college years almost out of existence, we may refresh our minds and live again some of our brighter moments here. Strangely enough it is not the lessons ol the class or the lwield, nor even the disillusionment common to all that we rememher laest. Rather it is apt to he some evening with the gang down at the C.T., Nornfs, O'Rourlce's, or some ot the other places where even as a freshman we congregate-rl to learn some ot the things that college does not teach, yet included among the experiences of every man who has ever really gone to college. For the most part these incidents, light, serio-comic, amorous, some with their tragic side, must remain oft the record, to he produced lor reiteration and embellishment only at those future reunions ot the Hold gang toward which every senior loolcs forward the moment he ceases to he a senior. Yet as a class We have some traditions of which we were the last exponents. Vvho will ever forget the frosh pee-rade, when 400 doughty freshmen straightened their hacks, delied their tor- menters, and marched into town despite the frenzied appeals ot cheerleaders and Scarlet Key? Who will forget the traffic tie-up, the scared policemen, the barred windows, the ceremony at the cannon upon the return to the campus? And wasn't it the same year when a goodly number ot us accompanied the team to Lafayette and brought most of their field haclc with us in pieces of varying size. And who will forget the chapel address, sup- 26
