We Jack Duncan, Chairman had the distinction of being the uppel'class of the college during Olll' sophomore, Hazen Dever junior, and seniol' years, for when the majority of us became juniors the college FINANCE course was extended to include third year students, and when we became seniors Russell Lightbody, Chairman the college was ready to give tiS fourth year instruction and a degree. Lucille Lang Our class is honored to include students whose efforts while undergraduates Ray Pillsbury aided in mal{ing a four year college a reality, and the class has honored them. Helen Lee' Among our present fifty odd members are some who had completed the two GENERAL COi\\i\lENCEMENT year course before the scope of the college was extended, who then waited or Leonard Grinnell, Chairman went to other institutions, but who returned to have the distinction of receiving Committee Chairmen as members degrees at the initial commencement of the College of t?e City of Detroit, PICTURE lYlany of those who were with us in 1922 and 1923 left for other institutions \Valter Gleason, Chairman and professional schools, and consequently the Senior Class is not large. To Vent Fair some of us who graduate, the city-owned college has been a godsend. PIN \Ve have some plucky and industrious students and leaders among us, and they, Lucille Lang, Chail'man and we hope all of us, realize that Commencement Day is only commencement Evelyn McElveen day, as Dean l''lacleenzie is wont to emphasize, Robert Ross Among our number, as the modest records of attainments alongside the PUBLICITY photographs declare, are men and women who have achieved college fame as Virginia Fair, Chail'ln~Ul orators, actors, literary lights, and as mighty men of sport. Eugene Magnell The C lass of 1925 has not neglected social affairs OL' the opportunity of estab SKIP-DAY lishing precedents. A number of noteworthy functions were held during the Robed Ross, Chairman final semester. On April 18, an informal dinner dance was held at the Detroit Florence \Vilson Yacht Club, On l\'lay 26, Swingout Day, we Seniors appeared dignifiedly in the caps and gowns of Bachelors of Art fOl' the first time for the edification of the SOCIAL college, l\'lay 28, to show that we could, we bolted school and went on a picnic. Francis Rhoades, Chairman June 14 to 18 inclusive marked Commencement \Veek The ~.- Senior Class Evelyn IVlcElveen Banquet was held on the last day of Commencement \\Teek Tllese occasions Robert Ross served to add to the store of blessed college memories for the fuhil~G . Virginia Gordon All things must have a beginning, and all beginnings are difficult. But a SWINGOUT short time has elapsed since the inception of the college that will soon become Hazen Devcl', Chairman full-fledged. \Ve have struggled and may have felt reshicted at times by neces Lucille Lang sal'y limitations. But within us we carry a love fOI' the Green and the Gold, Robert Ross and a vision of the splendid and broadened college of the future, in whose interests, Florence \Vilson we, as her first a lumni, hope to be active.
