CLASS H I STORY As freshmen, we, the January Class of 1927, were infested with the same insults and indignities as all other freshmen classes are. The seniors deigning to look down on our motley assemblage cast horrified glances at our shocking behavior. The sophomores were the only group who bothered to pay any attention to us. They very kindly offered to sell us choice chapel seats for a quarter, but when we had made the purchase. the aforementioned seats failed to materialize. As sophomores we teased the newcomers and sold them our chapel seats even as they had been sold to us. A great event occured during this year. The first Rodeo made its appearance, and we all had our pictures in it! As juniors we ceased our persecutions of the freshies and turned our attention to more weighty affairs. Our class was organized and ollicers were elected. XVe ordered our rings and sweaters. XVhen the latter appeared the whole school was dazzled by their brightness: orange and black-emblematic of our brightness also. As seniors we, at last, realized our fondest hopes. The student body gazed at us with awe and admiration, and even the faculty manifested some difference. XVe are now about to start forth on another journey. This class which invaded XVest in such a rude and unseemly manner is now ready for its departure. Although absent, we shall be interested in XVest's enterprises and shall wish success to every undertaking which she may attempt. tim
