Seniors Class of 1 927 Officer of the Senior class shown above, reading left to right, are: Frederick Otto. Florence I arrick. John Rilling. Mildred Wilson, and Erhardt Kundc. Rilling is the president; Miss Larrick. vice-president; Miss Wilson, secretary; Otto, treas- urer; and Kundo. sergeant-at-arms. AS IT KYKR WAS. still is. and always will continue to l c. What? The steady tream of classes wending their way in and out of the portals i Wittenberg. Freshmen, oh, so long ago Sopho JLjl mores, sometime in the past—Juniors, only last year- Senior.', this year next year and forever, alumnae of their Alma Mater, and the men and women who guide the destinies of the world’s affairs. Years and years ago. in 1924 to he exact, a horde of Freshmen green invaded the city and started out to look for Wittenberg College, situated somewhere in the northern section. After much ado about notiiing. they finally located it. and got passably well settled before things began to happen. The first event of importance to be here recorded is the election of the officers who would lead the unruly mob. Accordingly, the members elected Herman Gilbert as their president. Charlotte Bell as their vice-president. Mary Chryst as their secretary, Harriett Daniels as their treasurer, and Theodore Gray as their sergeaut-at-arms. And then it happened. Oh. such grabbings, chasings, huntings, strappings, and fightings, as there were. Xevcr was there such a vivid impersonation of one bloody mob hunting another. We refer to the annual Frosh-Soph. Fight,” that war-like institution which had yearly marked the advent of a new Freshman class; and. after the night came the morning; and on Tuesday. September IS. the Frosh and Sophs put the lagoon at Snyder Park between them, hung themselves on opposite ends of a sturdy rope stretched across the water and pulled and pulled; and the Freshmen triumphed, dragging the glory-shorn Sophomores through the somewhat icy waters. This victory gave the first year men the right to discard their green top coverings at the end of the first semester, and they began to assume a wee bit of upper- class dignity. When the class returned to the institution in 1925 as Sophomores they again met early to choose their officers. The ballots showed John Miller to be the choice of the class for president. Kathleen Harris for vice-president. Helen Myers for secretary, Richard Heistand for treasurer, and Hugh Miller for ser- geant-at-arms. When the deadly combat again took place, the class was less fortunate. In a fight to the finish at the old pump house, the Freshmen dragged the twcnty-7-cncrs ruthlessly through the muddy mois- ture of Buck Creek, and their Sophomoric pride was somewhat diminished. Returning as Juniors in the Fall of 1926, the class elected the following: John Davey, president: F.rncst Mullcndorc. vice-president; Charlotte Bell, secretary; Claudius Jensen, treasurer: and Milton Trubcy. sergeant-at-arms. They presented Lewis Beach's The Goose Hangs High. at the Fairbanks Theatre on December 14. as their annual play: and Dalton Young and Howell Jones were elected as editor and business manager, respectively, of the Wittcnbcrgcr. following the failure to return to school of the business manager-elect. Walter Kuhn, and the disability of the editor-elect. John Miller. And now the last lap in the history of the class. The final act in the drama of college life for these one hundred thirty-seven dignified Seniors. At the convening of college in September of 1927. the clas chose as their leaders, John Rilling, president: Florence Larrick. vice-president; Mildred Wilson, secre- tary: Fred Otto, treasurer; and Frhardt Kunde as sergeant-at-arms. Then as the final dramatic production of their college careers, the dramatists of the class presented Bradou Thomas' Charley's Aunt. at the Fairbank's Theatre on December 8. 1928.

JOHN KILLING. JOSEPH SUTLER. LESTER CROWL. Skull and Chain Senior Men’s Honorary Society SKULL AND CHAIN, honorary Senior men’s fra- ternity was founded in 1922. on the Wittenberg campus as a means of better recognizing meri- torious activity of men for both scholarship and campus popularity and activity during their four years sojourn at the college. The body is inert dur- ing the major part of the year, confining itself in it- self. and emerging from its respective glories only long enough during the two terms to select by the “Tap” method honorary members for the next year. This “Tap Day ceremony is generally held the early part of May. There are four active members in the organiza- tion, and one honorary faculty member, Dean C. G. Shatzer. The four members are: Joseph Sittler, Lester Crowl, John Rilling, and Gerald Armstrong. All four men have led a very high scholarship life at Wittenberg in addition to participating in a varied field of college activities, and they, in their entirety, represent nearly every activity on the college campus. Sittler and Crowl are varsity inter-collegiate de- baters, of three years standing; both men are active in dramatics, as well as work in the Boost Wittenberg Association, in the college V. M. C. A., and in the Inter-Fraternity Council. Killing is the president of the college Y. M. C. A. of this year and a member of the varsity debate team of the past two years. Armstrong is perhaps the most versatile athlete in the school, holding the cap- taincy of both the football and basketball teams this year, in addition to a place on the baseball team. All three men are members of several honorary groups on the campus. Sittler is president of Blue Key. and a member of Tan Kappa Alpha: Crowl is president of Tan Kappa Alpha; Rilling is a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, while Armstrong has had the honor of being an all-Ohio selection in both foot- ball and basketball for two years.
