GENERAL INDEX

‏[Evidently this was the graduating class of May 1911.]‏
The Class Bench exercises began
at 2:30 o'clock with an address by
Harry O. Latham, class president.
Jessie Heckman gave an interesting
class history, and was followed by
the class orator, Oscar Worthwine,
who emphasized the value of hard
labor prompted by inspiration gained
from a university education. Eliza-
beth Fogg presented the time-worn
cap and gown to the Class of 191 1,
the response being made by Hazel
Stillman. The class hammer was
handed down to the Class of 191 1 by
Mansfield Ralph Cleary and a re-
sponse made by Calvin Smith who
then knelt and was dubbed knight
of the hammer. The Senior Bench,
the emblem of class good fellowship
since '96, was handed down by
Orville Page to the next year
Seniors, who were represented by
Hilmar Baukhage.
