I!f2S PK.VCOCK THE CLASS OF 1927 In the fall of 1924 we, as Freshmen, entered Upper Iowa University one hundred strong. We lost the class scrap, but who would expect the Freshmen to win? By the end of the first semester we had lea rned that all is not gold that glitters ; that all play and no work would not earn us a grade; that intelligence tests set up for us reputations that were difficult to maintain ; that every college student of the oppo- site sex was not perfect. In fact, we had learned so much by this time, that we felt we should never need an more college training. But we have grown more mature since then and our talents for certain kinds of college activities have been developed. Without the college training we would not be the class that we are. As Seniors, we have: the two Y presidents, three Y. W. cabinet members, three Y. M. cabinet members, two basketball men, five baseball men and the student- manager, six forensic students, three members of Shade Debate, one member who represented us at the State Extemporaneous Contest, and the president of the Student Council. We feel that we are unique among Upper Iowa ' s graduating classes. We wit- nessed the burning of Science Hall in which we spent many memorable hours. But furthermore, our class is 100 loyal in giving subscriptions toward a new Science Hall. We originated the idea for our class ring which has been adopted as a standard for the college. On March 7, 1928, we appeared in chapel as the first class of Seniors to wear Senior jackets. These have not been all of our accomplishments. But they will suffice to show that we are working for Upper Iowa. No names have been mentioned. We do not ask for individual honor and glon ' , but we are striving for a bigger and better U. I. U. We wish to pass on to the underclassmen and to those who will come to our college in the future the incentive and inspiration of loyalty and love to our Alma Mater. What Upper Iowa University has done for us has not been related — only what we have done for Upper Iowa. You who are interested and who know us can tell what our college has done for us. We will soon be a part of the alumni of Dear Old U. I. U., but memory will keep ever fresh for us our days upon the campus. It is not so much what we say as what we have done here. As we go out into life our loyalty will not cease. Upper Iowa has taught us how to live, and her influence will go with us whithersoever we may journey. A. M. P. T i i Page U
