active in all lines of school life; one member assisting in Chemical Laboratory, one was President of Utopian, their other activities are too numerous to mention. And now these people are Seniors and ready to weather the storms of life. They have four memorable years to look back upon, years of joy, when they worked and played with care-free hearts but never forget that everything they did was preparing them and molding their lives for the future — the future when they would have no kindly faculty nor for- giving school-mates to help them along when they made false steps. They have been well-trained during their four years at the University; they have come into close contact with the faculty and students here; they have entered into all lines of student activity, and have given of their originality, ver- satility, and enthusiasm that the University, which they will soon call their Alma Mater, may become one of the largest and best in the State. Ten people will receive their degrees in the class of 1919. It is certain that they will make just as big a mark in the world outside as they have in the hearts of fellow-students who have spent four years with them at the University of Omaha. ■

The Book of Seniors In September, 1915, forty-three smart, peppy boys and gnls enrolled in the University of Omaha as Freshmen. They started right in to show their spirits. Having heard that all Freshmen classes had a class fight with the Sopho- mores, they decided that they wouldn ' t stop with second year people, but would have their scrap with the haughty Seniors who claimed the same colors (green and white) as those which the class of ' 19 had chosen. Who won goes without saying. Mark Lowe was President that first year, and Miss Fink was class teacher. Throughout the year the members of this class distinguished themselves and brought honor to the Freshmen class. Eugene Simmons and Ruth Collins had leading roles in the Dramatic Club play. John Jenkins, I. Finkenstein, and Eugene Simmons starred on the football team. The boys of the class formed a baseball team which won from a team picked from all the other boys in school. In studies they were just as active. Lotta Johns on and Mark Lowe received prizes for the best Temperance essays written by the University of Omaha students. In September, 1916, thirty-five of the people who had entered the year before as Freshmen, returned as Sopho- mores, comprising the largest Sophomore class in the history of the school. They started the school activities by enter- taining the school at a Hallowe ' en party, the last party to be held in dear old Redick Hall. Once more their people led in dramatics with Quito Eddy and Eugene Simmons playing the leading roles, and Perry Allerton and I. Finken- stein good supports. Once more they held first place in the Temperance contest, Gertrude Reynolds and Frank Kram- pert winning the prizes. On Gala Day, they showed their originality by putting on a musical comedy written by one of their own members, Louise Bratton Moore. The third year there were not so many of the ' I9 ' s back m school; in fact, there were so few that when class officers were elected, each Junior got an office. This small number was due to the fact that many of the boys were pre-medics, and would therefore continue their studies at the University of Nebraska Medical School. Some had entered the Army or Navy. Some of the girls were teaching school. Despite the fact that there were few of them, the Juniors were very
