Slmchfi - CHAPTER 1V SENIORS Ready for the last year's run, The race that is hard to beat, The race that we surely won, And the race that was complete. It was with high spirits and ambitions that we took up our last year's Work. The first Senior class meeting was held October 16, 1916, for the election of class officers. H. D. Boyer was elected president, E. T. Winter, vice-president, Hilda Clausen, secretary, David Way, treasurerg Novia Preston, representative on the athletic board 5 Genevieve Morris, member of advisory board for Tattlerg and Metta Nelson, class reporter. The Junior dance was held December 9 in the Music Hall. About thirty-five couples were presen . The usual custom of Senior slouch day was changed, as some of the Faculty stated that in former years the matter had been carried to extremes. The class adopted in its place, Shirts and Middiesf' All of the girls wore boys' shirts, collars and ties, and the boys wore middies. This Plan was highly approved and commended by the Faculty. S The fourth and last annual barn Warming was held in November. Several members of the other classes tried to make a raid on the eats but received a good Hroughing up instead. The Senior basketball team Won the inter-class basketball championship. The fight was much easier Won than last year. The class also Won the Booster basketball banner again. A special class meeting was held February 21 for all Senior girls. The purpose of the meeting was to decide on the style of graduation dress. A uniform dress was adopted for the occasion. This movement is new and highly approved by good authorities. During April we sluffed for one whole day and who can say we didn't make the most of it? After many other good times which were crowded into the last of the school year, we received our diplomas on April 20, and left for our homes. As time rolls on and our interests roam far away, We will carry with us memories of happy days spent together during the four years of our school life. Now as we Work, or roam, or rest, No matter how long the years may seem, We'll not forget the School We love best, And the class of nineteen-seventeen. ,J 45 4 38

Shuchfr CHAPTER III JUNIORS Boosters and workers' were we, In every thing agoingg Boosters, now don't you see, For we were wiser growing. V In October, 1915, We gathered as Jolly Juniors on the campus. We had again lost some of our old members, but many new students joined our ranks to take their places, making the class enrollment 106. Our first class meeting was held October 19, and the class officers were elected as follows: Floyd Rivett, president, Richard Rowe, vice-president, Frances Walter, secretaryg and Walter Nelson, treasurer. ' The second meeting of the Junior class was held October 27. 'Earl Humphries was elected athletic representative and A. B. Worthman sergeant-at-arms. At the third meeting of the class Metta Nelson was elected assistant associate editor and Richard Rowe was elected assistant manager for the 1916 SHUCKS. On January 20, the new school paper was launched. It was entitled f'The Aggie Tattler and published by the Junior class. The class chose for its motto: If we rest, we rust and as class flowers, maroon and white roses. The Junior Prom was held February 12 in the Music Hall. One morning shortly after vacation our class colors mysteriously appeared on the top of the supply tank, and also on the top' of the new standpipe. They waved proudly in the breeze until nearly noon. The next morning the Sophomores pennant was found suspended from the cables across the campus. The Juniors immediately proceeded to take it down. Bob Corby removed it from the cable and dropped it to the crowd below. In the scrimmage which followed one of the Junior boys had the misfortune to get his arm broken. V The Junior basketball team won the inter-class basketball championship by trimming the Seniors to the tune of 9 to 5, and the Freshmen 22 to 12. The Junior class also won the 1916 basketball banner, which was awarded for being the best basketball boosters. On Monday evening, April 17, the class gave a reception in honor of the Seniors and their friends. After commencement we told our classmates good-bye and departed for our homes. 4 4 ,
