CLASS HISTORY '33-The Senior Class of '33 began the year with George Wells as President. Professor and Mrs. Townes were unanimously elected faculty advisors. On Nov. 9 we were happy to learn of the arrival of a new faculty advisor, Robert Townes. In the fall the Seniors entertained the Sophs on a hike to the Arntz woods. Games were played until time for dinner which was served while all sat around the campfire. Early one rainy spring morning we went to Ella Sharp Park and then to Clark's Lake on the usual yearly skip hike. In defiance of the weather we started out, with smiling faces, expecting to have a pleasant day. The rain ceased, the sun shone, and the day ended perfectly. The juniors gave us a hearty welcome upon our return to Spring Arbor. Both classes gathered in the Recep- tion room where light refreshments were served. The junior-Senior Reception was held in the dining-room which was converted into an old-fashioned inn. Our high school days came to a close when we received our diplomas. We, the Senior class of 33, shall always be deeply grateful for the Christian environment which we received during our high school days in Spring Arbor Seminary and junior College. MAI-IALA MILLER. CLASS HISTORY '34-We came here this year as dignihed Seniors. Since our faculty advisors had left us, our first task was to choose a new advisor. Miss Andrews, head of the Music Department, was chosen, and we certainly have no regrets. Our first function was to take the Sophomores for a hike into the country where all enjoyed a good time and plenty to fat. Early in October we, with our good friends, theCollege Sophomores, left town about dusk one night to spend a day and a night , Wolf Lake. What happy hours were spent on the lake and shore! When we returned many were the sunburned arms and backs, and tired, but happy students. We were escorted to the Gym where we were served delightful refreshments by the juniors and College Freshmen. In the first part of March in the revival meeting several of our number found the Lord which caused us greatly to rejoice. On St. Patrick's Day our beloved faculty advisor entertained us royally in her studio. I am sure we can never forget that happy evening. What was our joy in the latter part of Marcia to have a heavy snowfall giving us a fine oppor- We again went with the College Sophomores. It was a merry rosy- tunity for a sleigh-ride. cheeked group of young people who returned to the dining hall to enjoy hot cocoa and sandwiches. We feel we have been privileged to share our joys and griefs together here, and as we leave, it is with many happy memories of by-gone days and many hopes for the future. BETTY ELLEN COX.

COLLEGE FRESHMAN HISTORY CLASS HISTORY '33-This scholastic year opened a new mine to be explored and excavated which we had been looking forward to with great anticipation. We now become members of the highly esteemed junior College. We were actually college students in every sense of the word! At least we thought so. However this feeling of superiority subsided as soon as we labored and struggled with the first term tests. To our surprise college subjects required more real concen- tration than high school subjects if we hoped to master them. From that time forth each college Freshman firmly resolved within his own heart to do his very best scholastically. This covenant with consciences begot a new thirst of the Pyrean spring which few of us had known before. Study became a pleasure. This year we have not only learned how to study better, but also how to adjust ourselves to per- plexing situations. For example, in Dean's Rhetoric class a requirement of one theme a week was announced-a theme every week. With many doubts and fears we applied ourselves to the task. Before the semester closed we literally enjoyed writing themes for Rhetoric. As a new field for self-expression, it greatly aided our putting of vagrant thoughts into comprehensible terms. The whole year was characterized by like situations which called for adjustments. Life is a never ending series of adjustments. We learned more of real living this year than we had in all our high school years. This was not due to our special ability to learn but to our faithful instructors who guided us carefully through the year. LAURINE DEYO. CLASS HISTORY '34-From far and near trooped the College Freshman Class of '35 all anxious to experience college life, and to prove themselves in the new fields of education. After the hearty welcome given by Spring Arbor at the annual reception, the newcomers prompt- ly forgot all misgivings and adjusted themselves into this life in a surprising way. Our first function was the College Sophomore-Freshman hike. It was a bright sunny afternoon on the 29th of September when the whole school marched gayly down their different roads to the spot where the function was to be held. The remainder of the afternoon was spent playing games until it was time to eat. After our walk home in the beautiful moonlight, we joined with the rest of the classes in playing games on the campus. Together with the juniors we prepared a hearty welcome for the prodigal Seniors and College Sophs on their return from their skip hike. Professor and Mrs. Townes have been truly helpful counselors to our class and we are looking forward to another happy year as College Sophomores, with them, and also Ronald and Robert.
