' a.o. Class of 1926 President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Assistant Treasurer Honorary Member Chester W. Jensen Martha O. Sayles Mark R. Gifford Walter A. Presbrey. Jr. Helen P. Kirby Frank W. Keaney HISTORY It is with the most sincere pleasure that we present herewith our Senior Class. In the Fall of 1922 a record number of Freshmen presented themselves at the doors of our Alma Mater in search of knowledge. After registration they settled into the routine of college life as if to the manner born. Curriculum and non-curriculum activities were entered into with great vim, developing both students and athletes. The Freshman football team went through an exceptionally successful season, the basketball team was unbeaten, and, in due time, the Sophomores were taken into the wet at the annual rope pull. The class contributed highly to the success of the Varsity track and baseball sea- sons. and ended up the year with a bang-up banquet and dance. Sophomore year witnessed the usual decrease in our number. Again we proved ourselves masters at the art of pulling on a rope and dropping the apple ' ' in the iron ring. Many of our men became regulars on the Varsity teams during this year, but scholastic honors were not quite so numerous. The Soph Hop upheld socially the standard of achievement set by the class in its other activities. Junior year was immortalized by a never-to-be-forgotten Prom. Kings- ton. temporarily transformed into a Garden of Eden, through which the strains of the best jazz obtainable floated disturbingly, was overrun by men and their flappers. Jupe Pluvius arrived true to schedule in time to dampen the spirits of the interscholastic participants. Although dampened, however, these spirits were by no means decreased, and a very successful meet was run off. Again the class assisted nobly in maintaining the good name of Rhode Island on the athletic battlefields. Basketball proved to be our stronghold, the team playing through a successful season in the face of one of the hardest sched- ules of recent years. The Commencement Ball was run with the dispatch and dignity signifi- cant of experience in the management of such affairs. And now we are on the last leg of our voyage. Our ship has come through the scholastic storms, battered .... but still afloat. We have given all we had to our Alma Mater, realizing that we will always owe her more than we can hope to repay. Soon we go forth into the world to put to the test our ability to be good citizens, and to further so far as it lies in our power the name and fame of our dear old Rhode Island. 129 ]
