HISTORY OF CLASS OF '30 " E DIEM" are just the two words needed to characterize the Class of '30. How that name suits its members, who have followed its precedent by keeping up their spirits jovially. Ever since the famous" tin pan parade" in our freshman year, the class has been Its mischief and fun-making schemes. But these are only trifles. Our philosophy of" Carpe Diem" has carried over into curricular and extra-curricular activities. Every year the inter- class tournaments in field ball, basketball, and volley ball have met strong opposition in the Class of '30. The Sophomore year was the crowning year for both the men's and women's teams, when they came through as champions. One's knowledge of the Class of '30 is not complete without taking into consideration the enthusiastic representation in inter-collegiate debating, the" Y" organizations, literary societies and the College Players. Because of the unusual size of the Junior dramatic class, five one-act plays were presented this year instead of two as had been given by Junior classes heretofore. The main event of the Class of '30 during its Junior year was the enter- taining of its sister class at a delightful and original party in McDaniel Hall parlors. For several years there has not been a more congenial and general good time had by any group at a college party. At present various members of our class are working on a song, so that the Class of '30 will be ready to show its spirit and loyalty at the traditional exercises during Commencement Week. The Class of '30 may always be recognized as the class that always seizes its opportunities and makes the most of the present. . page one hundred forty-six
