Senior Class History As we look back on the history of the class of 1919, we find it to be a class of good standing as a whole. It may be said of this class that it was unfortunate in several respects during its four years at M. S. M., but it always managed to come out on top. W c entered college with sixty-seven members, in September, 1915, and a week later met on the campus with a grim determination to subdue the Sophs. -which, of course, we did not do. Next year, when, by the law of precedent, we were due to win, fate or perhaps something else turned against us and permitted the Freshmen, in the most hotly contested class fight ever stag路ed here, to tie us up. Because our class is the only Sophomore Class which was ever tied up by the Freshmen, it seems that there must be something wrong somewhere. Notwithstanding the defeat, however, the good old class of '19 put on a smoker, Green Cap Night, that was really worth while. Such is the history of our Green Cap days. 'rhe class of '19 has always been represented in all branches of athletics; for instance, onr '' M'' men in football are Bohart, Brazill, Dowel, Krause, Larsh, Morris, Oyler, Petsch and "Kid" Wilson; our "M" man in baseball is "Kid" Wilson; 路while in basketball 路we have Krause, 路wilson and Scott. In interclass track meets, our class has never yet been beaten, which is saying a great deal. vVhen war "vas declared, a number of our class answered the call- o many, in fact, that space does not permit mentioning their names. lt wil l, however, be remembered that Lieutenant Carl Rice, who was wounded in action and later presented with the Distinguished Service Cross, was a member of class '19. It is clue largely to the patriotic spirit of our members that our class roll has been cut down from the sixty-seven in 1915 to twenty-one at the present time.
