History of the Class of 1910 Ox the third Wednesday in September, 1906, there assembled in the old cliapel a number of boys and girls who were henceforth to be known as the Class of 1910. We were not long in getting together and electing class officers, Johnson being chosen president. The Sophomores tried to break np our meeting, but our class, the Freshman, having such a galaxy of men, smiled at their childish efforts and drove them out. This was but mere play. We then proceeded to elect officers ; this Freshman Class being the first to do so, set an examj)le which has lioen followed hj later classes. This noble institution has never had such a studious class as ours, and after the intermediate examinations our president, in commenting npon the work, took occasion especially to congratulate the Freshman Class on the showing it had made. In the eyes of onr fellow-students we were disgraced, and never again have we been the cause of such comment. On the eleven our class had five regular men and as many substitutes. We had four regular and three substitute men on the baseball team. Frciui the u i))le twenty-seven Freshmen, only twenty-two returned to renew their studies in the Sojihoniore year. There were, however, five newcomers, who brought us u]i to our old standard. As it is the duty of the Sojihomores to find material for the track team, we compilkd the Kv(shm(ii and Preps to bow down in huiid)le submission to our mighty ]iow( r. and licfore many days we had dcveloi ed sprinters and long- distance runners. Whin we felt that we had done our duty in this direction, we elected officers and decided to publish an annual. We knew this meant consider- able work, but then — wewere the Class of 1910. During this year we had six regular men on the football team, and were represented by four on the baseball team. These were always reflecting credit, not only on the class ))ut also on dear old Washington. In our Junior year nineteen of our class returned. Hayes, a newcomer, and Gibson, who decided to join us, brought the total up to twenty-one. During this year we surpassed our previous records in all branches of athletics. Onr great duty consisted in working zealonsly for onr annnal. Every member of the staff knuckled down to publish a book which would give much honor to our class
