SefiiaiA, There was a time when the class of ' 49 was not the dignified group that students wit- nessed on campus this past year. In fact, only four years ago the members were donning the green caps, carrying their books to class in suitcases, and living in awe of the higher ranks of school society. Although adjustment and orientation proved trying at times, the class of ' 49 en- joyed being a part of many red-letter events which took place during their years at Tay- lor. In their first year here they triumphed over the Sophomores in the Tug-o-War and observed Taylor as it went into its second century of Christian education. After exchanging the green caps for the blue and gray sweaters, the class of ' 49 found that another year at Taylor also proved to be one of historic significance: the accreditation of the University in the North Central Asso- ciation. The keys of the Junior year proved to be a stepping stone in the highway of education as the class proceeded to its goal. With pomp, dignity, and Senior canes, the class of ' 49 s tarted out on its final lap of college curriculum. Under the leadership of its President, Wil- bur Cleveland, and Sponsor, Professor Paul D. Keller, the class has enjoyed many happy hours of fellowship in work and play. Other officers who shared in the responsibilities of class government were Vice-President, Ver- non Petersen; Secretary, Dorothy Ingwerson; Treasurer, Edward Bolles; Chaplain, William Ng- and Social Chairmen, June hianson and Bill Kimbrough. Among the notable events of the year were a masquerade hialloween party, the un- forgetable session of Koo-Koo-Kollege v here Senior intelligence was displayed to a high degree, and a skating party at the Ma- rion rink. The joys of Skip-Day, the Junior-Senior Banquet, and the Senior-Faculty Banquet will always be cherished. Also Move-Up-Day will be remembered as class members, donned in caps and gowns, exchanged their Senior chapel section for the faculty pews, signify- ing the end of college days. As the Seniors leave the halls of Taylor, they go forth as soldiers of the Cross, using their talents and Christian education in the service of the King. Seniors a ' Koo-Koo-Kollege party. [ 25 ]
