Of the original number that entered the class of 1-9-2-I , there are only six left out of a total of twenty. Our greatest sifting took place in the freshman year when about half of the class sifted through. This was a dread-ful fact, and we all felt that something must be done to preserve our Class from total elimination. So we went at the task in the characteristic way of the class, getting at the source of our perplexing problem. In the fall of 1918 we had discovered the source of the awful leak. And what do you suppose that was? lllell, old Y. C. had a standard size funnel by means of which the process of elimination should be measured. This funnel had worked wonders the past few years. be- cause the previous classes had been quite large and it was necessary that a large elimination should take place, lest the theory of Malthus might prove true. lint the class of 1-9-2-ll' being one of the smallest classes, and the bestclass in school could not stand many such sift- ings. Neither could the college afford to lose such wonderfully talented and exceptionally bright students of the institution. So the faculty began to sit up and take notice of the alarming loss to the school. The Patent Office at Nlfashington, D. C. was being showered with requests for a new funnel to meet the new situation. Dean Ashcraft called on all' the powers of his brain trv- ing to invent a new one, but he failed most miserably and lost nearly all his natural beauty over it. lle has worn a wig ever since. lYe felt all along that it was up to the Sophomores, so brilliant and true. to devise some means of stopping that terrible leak. VVe elected Eva Kerr president of the class. She was most fitted for the situation. And she, being the heaviest member in the class, risked her own Page Thirty-Three life and threw herself into the gap. Evan was so suc- cessful that she had almost stopped the hole, for, during that year we had only lost three members. these being Lettie Mason, Mildred Boren, and joy Payne. But this loss was too large yet. And it was up to the class again, this time the junior class, to devise an- other means of eliminating all losses. So Lena Myers, the best class president in school, was elected president of the junior Class. A Uways and lneansy' committee was appointed, and after careful reflection it was found that the method of the previous year had proved so success- ful that it was deemed to be the best method. llut what could we do? Lena did not come up to the physical standard of Eva, neither was there any hope of bringing her up to that standard, however, she ranked far above the average in mental capacities. Fo what did Lena do? She found a substitute, and Peter was the substitute. lYith definite instructions by the class, and special orders to the Con Cafeteriay' nj. Peter was fed up , and fol- lowed the wonderful example of Fva , filling in the gan. Fo with the faithful support by the rest of the classmates the leakage was mended, and the loss of the Sophomore year was more than made up by the addition of four new members, these being Ruth Chapin, Margaret Roop, J. L. lYendelboi1gh, and above all. Lena Myers. our honored president. lYhether the class will continue to grow remains to be proven next year. But this much we know, that without the class of l-9-2-l York College could not possibly exist. lVe have not furnished any .Xthletic Stars, but outside of that the whole college campus has been doin- inated by our class. Vl'e have supplied more leaders in the several branches of college activities than any other class. The most responsible positions have been and are being held by the Iunior Class. And with this same spirit we are going out to the different parts of the world in the interests of suffering, struggling, and pleading humanity.
