SENIORS of the athletic association. King Atwood showed remarkable skill and good management in the engineering of the Tech Carnival. During the first week in March, the traditional Junior Banquet was held. Tech spirit, liquid and otherwise, waxed high. Our gala Junior Prom week end, May 7, with Earl Peck’s orchestra plus the Masque, and Fraternity Dances was an outstanding success. We are indebted to Bud Hammond and his committee for the success of our Junior week end. Towards the end of the year, we elected Bill Carew president of our class, Ray Linsley, Secretary, and Francis Harvey, treasurer. Several members of the class made Skull. In the fall of our Senior year we took part in Tech’s first Homecoming Day which was a big success. Class affairs ran smoothly, and in January we held elections. At this time Bill Carew, Ray Linsley, and Francis Harvey were reelected to their respective of¬ fices of president, secretary, and treasurer. At mid¬ years the long-dreamed-of graduation seemed to loom suddenly within our reach. Now we have passed four wonderful years here at Tech, we have a definite reputation and position in life to live up to. We naturally have a deep feel¬ ing of gratitude for those who have made our educa¬ tion possible. We hope that we may give Tech cause to be proud of us in the future as we are proud to be Sons of John Boynton. Page thirty-nine
