SENIOR CLASS '28 in In student activities, in interclass combats, in scholastic achieve- ments, and in accomplishments for the promotion of the welfare ol the college, the class of '28 has stood out as the greatest of the century. Early in September the Class, under the able leadership of Jack DeVore, president, and Miss Friedsam, sponsor, began casting about for something that would benef'it the college, perpetuate their memory in years to come, and be an accomplishment worthy of their endeavor. Building a walk from the administration Building to the Girls' Dormitory was such a task. For the Seniors to decide was to act and the walk was soon completed. The walk is now adorned with a column bearing a slab, dedicated, and above all, paid for. In competition with their foes the Seniors have emerged victorious. On January ll, they decided to have a little fun at the expense of the underclassmen and at the same time promote the class spirit. Accord- ingly at 11:54 p. m. the Senior flag of '28 and the Junior flag of '27 were hoisted to full mast with proper military -salute. After some time a white mule was caught and appropriately decorated on either side with the word Junior in bold letters. He certainly exhibited some of the fun- damental characteristics of a Junior to say the least. While the hours of the morning were still small, the Seniors went to the Chemistry Lab. for a few hours of peac-eful slumber only to be rudely disturbed by Sir Whitener and his lance. Aft-er the Juniors had arrived and -stood close to the building wondering what to do the aforesaid animal was led around by the hilarious Seniors. Reluctantly they decided to rush the flag, and although they were fortunate in taking down the flags, they were not mighty enough in combat to retain possession of the coveted flag and the Seniors were victorious that day. The Juniors had high hopes for the success of their day and they kidnapped Jack and took him to Tulia in the fastest four in Americag but after that their plans went awry. The airplane, said to have dis- played their emblem on the under wing, was practically invisible on ac- count of the fog. They could not keep Jack handcuffed to a tree, de- spite their frantic attempts. The only time the Seniors were deluded was when they stood idly by watching a rag smouldering, totally ignorant of the fact that the Seniors Dummy was being burned. Even the Junior vice president was handcuffed to a locust and but for the intervention of Mr. Huff Bob would have had a very pleasant stay. All in all, Junior Day could hardly be called anything except a Senior success. In intellectual achievements as well have the Seniors stood out. Always on th-e Honor Rolleat least three-fourths of the names fortunate 'enough to be displayed there belonged to the Seniors. Three of the four debaters were Seniors, also. The class rendered a service to college recently by cleaning out a lot of yellow scraps speckled with black oi'f the walls, The Juniors of course, were prol'oundly grateful for this act of kindness. Although the Seniors have not accomplished all they could have, yet they feel that their tim-e in Wayland has not been wasted and that in every way the class of '28 will always be the Best Yet.

He has ever had ,the interest ol' the Class at h-eart, and has worked untiringly for its betternient. J. Oliver Bier is our strong man and serves as Vice President. ln all our battles, with the Juniors and others, he was always at the front. Always has he stood up l'or the Seniors, and loyalty is his watchword. For our Secretary We have been fortunate in having a very popular girl--a busy Worker and dexterous classmate-yes, you're right, her name is Grace Mitchell. This year has been a rather unusual one from a financial standpoint. None of the Seniors was rich, yet each was willing to do all that coultl be done for the advancement of the Class. The chief duty of the Treas- urer was to make an estimate of the fee to be levied upon each member, notify all of them, and then keep an accurate account of the funds ol' the class, This, our Treasurer, Neil Rigler, has accomplished as nearly perl fectly as anyone who ever held the position of Treasurer of the Senior Class. Many thanks to Neil for the wonderful accomplishments of the Senior Class of 1928. f5f9f'itl?'54f -t-4 S '-' '4tl?'??iMi'3'4IIf'5i'S--S5s5fIl?'?35'fr'a3'iP54' 'fwentyffhvee
