Sweeney President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Historian Marshal Senior Class i istorp T the present time, few of us are thinking of the past — that is now history. Most of us are looking ahead for an opening through which we can get into the great game of hfe and do our part towards making it a success. For four short years, we have been equipping ourselves with the necessary knowledge to tackle successfully the job ahead of us. When we started out on our college career, few of us knew what to prepare for. The vision has, however, through careful training, gradually presented itself to us. The many phases of college hfe appeal to a senior in an entirely different manner than they do to an underclassman. We look back upon our freshman-sophomore class scraps not only as contests of strength and wits, but more particularly as means by which we learn- ed how to work together as a class for common purposes. When we came back from the summer vacation as sophomores, our first inspiration was to give vent to spirits upon the freshmen. Prexy, however, soon put a stop to informal speeches and greased pole climb- ing. The end of our sophomore year saw the entrance of the United States into the war and when the declaration was made the entire class soon left college — many of them two months before the normal closing date, either to enter the army or navy or to aid in agricultural pursuits. The junior year saw fewer of the men back. The substitution of rice for potatoes, syrup for sugar, wood for coal, etc., began to bring the war home to us. Many of the class contests were given up and the entire college settled down to the one job of winning the war. This year we started off with a class enrollment of about thirty, whereas our freshman year, we had been two hundred ten strong. Eight of our class-mates had made the supreme sacrifice, having laid down their lives for the country. The armistice having been signed during the first term, many men were able to re-enter college after the Christmas vacation, the college giving them credit for the courses missed. The class history would hardly be complete without a word as to the part taken by the class in college affairs. In athletics few classes have produced such good material. The sophomore year saw our men on all of the varsity teams — football, baseball, basketball, hockey and track. In interclass contests we were victorious in football, tennis and hockey. In non-athletics, the class also took a prominent part. Our days at Aggie will never be forgotten, and that spirit of loyalty and good fellowship that all Aggie men acquire should forever remain with us as one of the strongest weapons that we have equipped ourselves with, in our preparation for the Great Adventure. 20
