Junior elections once again brought our political geniuses to the fore. Walter F. O'Malley was elected President, Leonard R. Eayle, VicefPresidentg George Eichner, Treasurer, Hart E. Van Riper, Secretary, Edward Shuey, Historian. With our President in active charge, plans for Junior Week progressed rapidly. Committees bustled here and there, and before we were aware of it the glorious time had arrived. With full realization of our dignity as an upper class, we received into our keeping the Junior Balcony. To the rhythmic swing of the canes, which testified to our newffound honors, we marched to chapel services. The Smoker followed, arranged by Art ' Curtis. Then came the banquet managed by ujackv Holaf han. The Cornell game was replete with all the thrills that only a Cornell game can have. The 2o-o score was sure testimony to the supremacy of our team which earned the championship of the East. To fill our cup to overflowing, the Prom was a glorious termination to a week of laurels and unqualified pleasure. It was the supreme occasion of our junior Year. The remainder of the year was a furious whirl of activity. Managerial and publication competitions continued and at last came to an end bringing with them the joy of effort well rewarded. With our greatest year yet before us, we realized the urgent necessity of choosing as a leader one who held the respect and admiration of the class. Such a man was Walter E. O'Malley, our Junior President. His refelection, breaking a 25fyear precedent, has been fully justified for he has continued in his Senior year the work of making '26 a leader among classes. The Undergraduate Council elections placed L. E. Eayle, E. E. Bailey, J. Evaul, R. Bingham, A. Thompson, and R. A. Eichelberger in office. On Hey Day, the Senior Honorary Societies gathered into their folds those of '26 who had most ably served Pennsylvania in her many fields of undergraduate activity. SENIOR YEAR We had supposed that as the years of our undergraduate life passed we would lose some part of the enthusiasms with which we had begun our career as Freshmen, but such was not the case. On the conf trary our Hrst enthusiasms had grown and developed into a fine loyalty to our great Alma Mater, which reflected itself in the glorious list of achievements of our Class. - The remaining Class ofhcers elected were john Wright, VicefPresidentg Frank H. Massey, Treasurer, John Harron, Secretary, Clarence Freedman, Historian. We settled down to enjoy this year, with that keen sense of appreciation which comes to maturity. This year marked the culmination of three long years of steadfast endeavor and hardy effort. On the gridiron Captain 'joel' Willson led a great Pennsylvania team in a successful season. The satisfying victory over Yale, at New Haven, was the first ever attained by a Pennsylvania team over the Blue. The magnificent exhibition of spirit from over 3o,ooo rooters, who filled the entire east side of the Yale Bowl, will remain one of our cherished memories. Well might '26 boast of her part in that victory, and thosenwhich followed, with Karl Robinson, Emid Thomas, Njoew Laird, Al Leth, L'Dick Snyder, Len Sorneson, Emil Heintz, and Zip Long as our representatives. Art - Thompson capably managed the team, with Graeme Frazier as his associate. l32l

Its speakers included Alfred Noyes, Hamlin Garland, Loredo Taft and others who spoke before the largest audiences in the history of the Association. The Musical Clubs-the Orchestra, the Instrumental Club, and the Band-claimed for their own more than threefscore of our hardy serenaders and embryonic symphonists. When Pennsylvania's mighty band, in colorful array, came majestically up the center of Franklin Field to the strains of the marching song, it was then that '26 was supreme, for at its head, with - W.. - s pq, V stately tread and lordly mien, was none other than our own , Shorty Marsh, the diminutive sixffoot seven Drum Mayor. f'i?,i1f A ' - - - - - '- y' ., Lg Geor e Eichner ave of his time as President of the Christian , ,., .,,. ,of .aft :l . g Association to mana e the Clubs.

Ivy Week came in state, the climax of our undergraduate careers. George Farabaugh was General Chairman. It was a farewell such as only '26 can boast. The Ivy Luncheon found us gathered at the festive board for the last time and fittingly served to usher in the affair we had looked forward to for four years. For the first time in several decades, the Ivy Ball was held away from the campus. The ballroom of the Penn Athletic Club seemed to have been converted into a veritable fairyland. The memory of its magnificence will ever remain in our minds. The Class of '26 is the last of the oldftimers. New traditions are being founded-traditions which will owe their inception to this class. Rightly will '26 be termed a harbinger of a new era in the history of the Red and Blue Today, as we bid farewell to our Alma Mater and to her rich memories, we are confident that we will continue to win, as we have done here. Our history of the future shall be as our history of the past, a prophecy truly fulhlled. We go out to conquer in broader fields. And so, ever mindful of our debt to Pennsylvania, may '26 prove that Ther achievements within college walls were but the merest foretaste of future victories in the struggle of life. We are not really leaving Pennsylvania, for the associations formed here and indelibly traced upon our hearts and minds will remain with us and make us loyal Pennsylvania men forever. , ., , , A ., .,., ..... , V A CLARENCE M.
