JUNIORS, LIBERAL ARTS The Junior Class of 93124 was the Hower of the Student body and the life of the party as ,twere. But how could a class go wrong, having the one and only inimi- table Phil J. Kennedy as its president? Perhaps the most. outstanding feat of the class of T25 was the promotion and con- duction of the annual Junior Prom. Three places in the Final of the Washington Oratorical Contest were awarded to Junior men, and although none of them fin- ished first, the three tried hard to win for their faithful backers, They were John Murray, I. Harry Moore and Phil Kennedy. John Murray, Phil Kennedy, Robert Olinger, Robert Ruthn1an,J. Harry Moore, Joseph Meyers, and J. Leroy Grogan filled positions on the Y23124: Xaverian News staff. Olinger was appointed Editor for '24325. The Mission Crusade work was well handled by George Vollmen. Almost the entire class were members of the Sodality, Albert Schmitz being a promoter. t , The class had two football captains, Herbert Davis, the ,retiring captain of T23, and William Knecht, captaEn-elect for T24. Howard CTPatW Geerin has been the Collegek cheerhleader par excellence for the past four years, In short the class of ,25 is one of the very best crowds; of fellow's ev'ehassembled at Old St. Xavier, May their tribe increase!

FRESHMEN, LIBERAL ARTS Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the land.n The Freshman Class of 1923, contrary to all precedents and proverbs, came in like Lambs and went out like Lions. From the hrst moment of their inauspicious entrance, resignation chastened their countenances, and they drank deep 0f the cup of humility. Silently and gradually, however, they accomplished deeds unprec- edented in the College of Liberal Arts, and when the lovely month of May rolled around in the cycle of the year, this same class stood as one of the most noteworthy in the history of the school, ninetynone strong, a class which had aroused the admira- tion and envy of all upper-classmen. They contributed fourteen speakers of first rank to the Philopedean Society; there were forty-three Freshmen numbered among the personnel of the Sodallty; in the matter of Foreign Mission Collections, the Frosh class led the school; it was largely due to Freshman instigation that the Xaverian Masque Society owes its existence; as to Athletics, there were twenty-four husky aspirants to next yearls Football team. The crowning achievement of the Freshman class came when it succeeded in establishing the custom of having Holy Mass said daily at the College during the Lenten season. A notable record, indeed, and one which bestows upon the Freshman classthe laurels of successt It may be truly stated that the incunabula of 1923 came mto its own. . Page One Hundred Four
