U. of U. Chronicle Year Book 23its members so earnestly wished. We started out the season with a football team which was equalled by none in the school. Our team went through the Class series with a clean record. The football heroes were each rewarded with a numeral, '06, for their pluck and courage. Buoyed up by this success ( ?), the Class planned and carried out successfully, the first Junior "Prom." ever attempted in the school. It was, without doubt, the most brilliant and thoroughly delightful party ever given by University students.Having accumulated a neat sum, through the dance and football season, an appropriate means of disposing of the money was planned. Here, again, the ingenuity and modernness of the Class was shown by giving a banquet to the Seniors, the first of its kind in the history of the University.Last year we were well represented on the gridiron, on the track, and in debate. This year our athletic ability has also been well demonstrated in football, and on the track. Some classes remember, only too well, how the Juniors won second place in the Class track meet.In debate, the Juniors have carried things at will. Our boys represented the team that went to Moscow, and all three who met the Colorado college debaters were Juniors. The Chronicle has been run almost entirely by our Classmen. Juniors have been well represented on all committees chosen for the school, and are most all prominent members of one of the Fraternal organizations. Furthermore, a Junior is next year's football captain, and we shall also hold the student managership of athletics within our Class.Thus we have worked up from the bottom to the foremost position in the institution. We have risen from insignificance to a hugeness almost startling, considering the work of short a time. ''Knockers" may say we are back numbers; restless ones may say we are dead, but despite these, we have enacted things never thought of by the most sanguine. Our progress has been slow but accurate, and consistent, and is only a forecast of what we shall do as Seniors. All in all, it has been a growth which should be well studied by coming Juniors, as an example of what a class can do if it will only unite and try. |
