For four years the 250 members of the class of 1934, which once numbered 360, have toiled and played together, going through experiences and gaining knowledge. Struggling on- ward with some worthy goal ahead, they have encountered all the ups and downs of a college career, and now, with their formal education completed, they go forth into the world to do battle to the finish. Four years have come and gone like a dream. Under the leadership of Willis Thomas, Fred Kruse, Francis Aiwohi, and Isamu Sato, the class has gradually metamorphosed from an inexperienced group of freshmen to a dignified organization. Many were the triumphs and disillusionments, but the class has made its name in the history of the University. The credit for this goes not only to a few leaders, but to the entire class. Scholars, ath- letes, journalists, artists, dramatists, debaters, and a host of others have contributed to the class. The most prominent seniors are mentioned elsewhere in this book. Only with deep affection can they speak of the past four years. As their university careers draw to a close, and they glance back in retrospection, a thousand images cross their P minds. Moments of joy, mo- ments of sorrow — wonder and naivete in encountering the no- velties of a college life, gradual confidence in adjustment to the surroundings, pleasure in making new friends, pretending sophis- tication, giving help and whacks to the green freshies, enjoying the premieres, tooting boister- ously ' round the town on pep rallies, cramming for exams — all Time Out From Studies rz mszis 1 8

Nineteen thirty — that was the year in which the Class of 1934 first set foot on the campus, eager to become a part of the University. Although the members underwent the hazing ordeals, they were by no means passive participants. In the endeavor to adjust themselves to college life, they did not find time to make any significant contributions to the University. In the second year, the Class of ' 34 set off with great strides. The class shone in all fields of activity, especially in sports. A much commented upon social of the year was the Hallowee ' n Dance, which was set in an appropriate witches and gob- lins atmosphere. In their junior year, many of the members of the class held offices in sororities, fraternities, the A.W.S., and were members of the Student Council. Such so- phisticated looks as those which they wore would certainly contrast with their 1930 humble, awe-struck faces! The juniors showed their co- x w t 1 • operation, originality, and jolli- ness in their crowning social event of the year, the junior prom — probably the most elab- orate one given in the history of the University.
