The Class of 1915 President, Herbert Aylworth Vice-President, Alice Lawson Secretary, Mabel Carter Treasurer, Esther Curry Modern History began in the University in 1911 and the most note-worthy event was the birth of the class of 1915. As a rule Freshmen are rather a timid and harmless set of individuals, but not so with this class. Tradition demanded that the hair of the Freshmen should triumphantly wave in the hands of the victorious Sophomores. So tradition did its part to the accompanying tune of green paint—but alas—soon well the humble Freshmen retaliated and the Sophomores appeared in barrels. In the organization of the Sophomore class many of our former comrades were missing but others came to take their places and to uphold the honor of 1915. The Freshmen outnumbered us three to one but they had their heads shaved just the same. It was in our Junior year that we made history—created it, and did it rapidly. We were the live wires of the University. The Junior play, “The Man from Home,” is still being discussed. Then came Junior Class Day. Little Junior, marked by a copper plate, will live that we may be remembered through the long years to come. The Junior Prom was the third annual event we started and hope to see continued and the 1914 Annual edited by the class of 1915 was a work of art. Our Senior year has been just as profitable but in a more serious way. We are planning for the future and therefore our seriousness and dignity. We leave the University with life before us. May the future be as successful as the past. The members of the class of 1915 have been found in all prominent school activities. In athletics many of our men wear the Arizona “A”. In society the queeners are there in abundance—and the queened—the Seniors have their share.
