The History of the (lass of' 27 WO chapters in the history of the Class of '27 have been successfully closed and ere the history of our Junior year reaches completion we pause to note the events worthy of mention. At the beginning of OUf third year on the Hill sixty-sic faithful members assembled to aid in forwarding the" March .of Events" at Western Maryland. From our ranks came representa- Lives in all worthy phases of college life. In matters of government, scholarship, and extra-curricular activities, the capability of these Juniors was tried and they were not found wanting. The class entered the portals of Western Mar-yland during a period of adjustment. As a result, the members of the class have been subject to much speculation and experimentation in the endeavor to raise the standard of the college. The standard has been raised the Juniors have made no startling contribution frOI11the point of view, the class has proved its earnest and efficient co-operation in the promotion of collegiate activity. If we have gained pre-eminence at all, it is in the field of Athletics. Frank Sillin for the third year holds the position of Fullback on the All- Maryland Team. The men won the Baseball Championship at the close of this year. The Co-eds are also well represented in Athletics. Of the seven Junior girls who went out for Varsity, six found places on the Team. As we leaf the pages of this third chapter in our history we find, as a result of our successes and failures of past years, a co-operation, friendship, and loyalty within the Class of '27 to be proud of. If we achieve nothing greater in life than this we are indeed rich; for true fellowship and understanding cannot be measured.
