one Sisler-but no team could have beaten Sisler the way he was pitching that
Saturday afternoon-not even with the rooting of Sanborn as an aid. By this
time the class was heavily in debt, paying for sweaters to be worn by our
victorious athletes. Our class meetings that junior year developed into parliamentary battles of which even Congress could not boast. We were the first class
to adopt the constitution submitted by the student council. And so the Junior
year passed away and became history.
- We all returned the senior year prepared to dig in, and work. We realized
the responsibilities before us. Even Alneer and "Morry" Meyers were seen
working in the library. J. J. Kennedy was- elected class president over "Art"
Otto by a close majority. "Dick" Simmons was overwhelmingly and unanimously
elected sergeant-at-arms. Then "Denny" Donovan had "some" football team.
They were never scored against and captured the school championship by 29-0.
-I Our Michigan Union dinners and dances were successful affairs. We helped to
introduce the cane custom and came very near adopting O. L. Smith's motion
to wear "the peruke, the cane and the plug hat" as the class emblem. The
mustache and married man's clubs also played an important part in our Senior
_ — = year. I
-| During the past three years many changes took place in the law department.
Venerable professors left us and courses of study were changed. But we all
- realize now, the courses of study were changed for our best interest and the
future welfare of our alma mater. Also, lest we forget, "Joe's" passed away. We
listened to its swan song and, as we saw the old land-mark destroyed, we thought
-g of the happy hours spent within its walls.
Individually, the class was active in college activities. "Art" Cohen, "Dave"
Cohn and "Dike" Birney were prominent in college dramatics. Robert Beck
wrote the Michigan Union opera, "Contrarie Mary." "Ab" Dilley served on
the board of control of student publications. "Bottles" Thompson, "Stan" Wells
and "Jack" Rogers played on varsity teams. Barringer served as president of
the student council. So both as a class and as individuals we made our influence
|- felt at Michigan.
g- This concludes our college history. The final history of our class and the
fame in store for our classmates will only be written in the far distant future.
As we leave our alma mater and turn our eyes towards the future we are saddened by the thoughts of leaving these happy surroundings of college days, with
its joys and friendships, and we may truly sing.
"The thoughts of you, dear Michigan
Will fill our eyes with tears."
