Oft • THE ECHO umior THE Junior Class reconvened for their third year on September 10, 1923. The members of this class decided to accept the arrangement of the Faculty and form a single class organization with the Sophomores. At the first meeting of the two classes Howard LeClair, a member of the Juniors, was elected president of the joint organization. At the same meeting Maurice O'Hearn was elected vice-president and Edmund O’Connor, secretary-treasurer. Though the two classes functioned as a unit throughout the year, still the Juniors have maintained a separate identity. As a result the members were “dubbed the “Three Intellectuals, by their fellow students. 'Fhe three Juniors have distinguished themselves on several occasions by public appearances contributing at all times to the already enviable reputation enjoyed by the College. Notably they were present in the casts of the two plays of the year, the Oratorical Contest, Public Debates and the Commencement Exercises. Not only were they represented in intellectual circles but also in athletics. One of the members of this class served faithfully and with no little success as athletic manager. Elsewhere in this book will be found an encomium to Athletic Manager Stuntz wherein is told how he carried the never-dying spirit of the Junior class into athletics. It was not only in these activities of the school that the Juniors distinguished themselves. They were leaders in all other activities as well. The Echo and Palestra profited much from their contributions. They graced the rostrum at all meetings of the Student Body and Clubs and moved their hearers with their forceful and ornate oratory. Fhe Juniors joined the other members of the College Club on a two-day sojourn at Lake Stevens where, to use the trite phrase, a good time was had by all. Not satisfied with the outing as a fitting close to such a successful year the Juniors held an inspiring banquet at the Hotel Cowman. 'Fhe banquet hall was fittingly decorated in the class colors, maroon and white. 'Fhe leading speakers of the evening were Henry I vers, George Stuntz and Howard LeClair. Although reminiscences were indulged in, satirically, wittily, humorously and seriously yet the predominant thought was of the future. 'Fhe three men have chosen their life work and intend to devote the coming year to properly fitting themselves for the elected vocation. The J Cl ass Page Nineteen

THE ECHO Sopkomores WITH but few exceptions all the men that went to make up the College class of ’26 again returned to take up the work of the Sophomore year. Frank Conklin, who is working in Renton with the Standard Oil Co., and William Ogden, in the Oblate Monastery at Tewksbury, Mass., are the members who were missing on the opening day. Early in the year the class suffered the loss of three other members: Maurice O’Hearn and Van Christoph, now at Los Gatos where they went in response to a higher call, and David Melbourne, who left to pursue another branch of studies. The spirit of the class, its zealousness, both in studies and athletics, and its close co-operation strongly characterized it. 'Flu’s spirit stood out predominantly in everything they undertook. The class has always been heart and soul behind anything for the betterment of the institution. Each and every member of the class has his part to play in the activities of the College. The class placed two men on the varsity football team, two on the varsity basketball squad, and four on the baseball nine. One man, Bernard Scholtcs, gained fame as one of the five speakers in the first oratorical contest; another, Edmund O’Connor, was elected as president of the College Club; another, Bertrend Curran, headed the Senior Debating Society and Lettermen’s Club, while all had active parts in both the Palestra and Echo publications. On May 16th and 17th the class enjoyed one of the greatest outings of its history when they journeyed to Lake Stevens. Athletically the class was prominent, practically every member having a place on at least one of the varsity teams. All are experienced athletes and played good games. Flic future history of the class is very uncertain, as it is a question which only next year will settle as to how many will return. However, it is probable that the majority will find themselves once more within the walls of their Alma Mater. At the Debating Society banquet most of the class expressed their determination to return if conditions made it possible. We look forward with hope to another enjoyable year, with the class together, so it is to be hoped that conditions will make it possible for most to foregather once more when the next year begins its course. Those who leave us will be greatly missed, as all of the class have become valuable members of the student-body. Our years of effort have been thoroughly appreciated, and our presence will be gladly welcomed. Pace Twenty-one
