lenge and succeeded in changing two fives to sixes, when the faculty intervened with orders to remove all numerals. Soap, lye and turpen- tine were applied by industrious Junior girls to no avail, and our class numerals still adorn the chimneys as faithful memorials of the zeal of the class of 1915. When we entered our senior year, we added two more members, Sylvia Orloff and Victor De Bolt ; but we had also lost two to the medical school. We started in to make this year the best of all, elect- ing Victor Jorgensen, President ; Oldham Paisley, Vice President ; Paul Selby, Secretary ; Dorothy Scott, Treasurer ; Mrs. Edwards and Mr. De Bolt, Sergeants-at-Arms. In athletics we shone as usual, Paul Selby, Victor De Bolt and Victor Jorgensen, captain, l eing the star players. Another one of us captained the successful basketball team. As we were not enough in numbers to give a school party, we united with the Juniors in giving a Valentine Party at Mrs. Percival ' s home. When it came time to give the annual basketball deficit play, the Senior l oys worked day and night in preparing the stage, and have left to the schoof an accessory which wi serve the school for many years. Another valuable addition which will be appreciated more and more by the students is the tennis court, instigated and prepared mostly by Paul Selby. On May 1 Mrs. Edwards entertained us witli a delightful banquet at the Fontenelle Hotel, writing us each one an appropriate verse which were read as toasts. Thus on June 10 will end the history of a loyal bunch of students without whose help in athletics, journalism, enthusiasm and other ways, the University would have been lacking, and we will go out into life ever boosting our Alma Mater, the University of Omaha.

The Sophomores again attempted later in the year to hoist their colors, but were repulsed. When the second Gala Day came around, we decided to give a play, and chose Thank Heavens, the Talkie Is Set After many prac- tices under Mr. Goodwal Dickerman as coach, our plav was deemed a grand success. At the class picnic, north nf Florence, owing to confused plans, we were deprived of the company of our President and class adviser, and they lost out. inasmuch as they did not have any supper. When the hrst track meet was held on the Fort Omaha iield, our class won out by many points, with Andy as individual winner. To him was awarded a beautiful l)ronze cup, borrowed frum Miss Knight ' s art room, and to the class an appropriately engraved china cotTee cup. As Sophomores we had the distinction of being the only class to have as many boys as girls. At our election we chose as officers .Agnes Nielsen, President ; Andrew Dow, Vice I resident ; Dorothy Scott, Secretary, and Almet Solomon, Treasurer. The first class event of the year was our Halloween party for the school, when we tired to profit by our efforts in Freshman oratory in producing some panto- mime work. We were delightfully entertained with class parties by As- nes Nielsen and Almet Solomon. Ag ' ain, our class won in the inter- class track meet, with Al Solomon as individual winner. In the state inter-collegiate meet, Andy brought fame to our school by winning second place in the shot-put. On Gala Day we gave an original sketch by Mildred Foster, with Andy and Paul as the heroes. Though we lost several of our memliers in our Junior year, we added three more enthusiastic workers, Victor Jorgensen, Mrs. Ed- wards and Charles Frandsen. We did not in this year do so much in a social way, but we were active in athletics, editorial and religious work. Nelle Ryan, who was a member of our class, won the temperance contest for the best essay in the state. Paul Selby was footl al! captain and Oldham Paisley editor of the Metropolitan. We elected Andrew Dow, President ; Mildred Foster, Vice President ; Oldham Paisley, Sec- retary ; Paul Selby, Treasurer, and Dorothy Scott, Sergeant-at-Arms. Early in the fall the class wished to show their spirit in an original way. One dark night, 1915 ' s, in large black numerals, were painted in conspicuous places on Redick Hall. The Sophomores took it as a chal-
