THE CLASS OF '96.
The Space permits the mention of only a few of the class that graduates this year although all deserve to be spoken of. The class is notable for its high scholarship and the spirit of energy it has shown. Among those who contributed to its reputation,the following may be named.
R C. GOWELL.
CLYDE BROWN.
Mr. Gowell is the genial president of the Senior class, and his high scholarship has won him a reward. Undergraduates of Kansas university will be glad to know that they will not lose him, as he has been incorporated in the faculty
But Clyde Brown, the class president in the Junior year, will be missed. The guideship will know him no more, neither will delinquents flee his approach as they were wont to do. From being the pilot of the University and the Mercury of the Disciplinary Committee he he has become one the vast army of alumni.
P. A. CLAASSEN.
A McMURRAY.
The orators of the class are P. A. Claassen and Arthur McMurray. If the former lacks a little in force, the latter compensates for it in ten fold ratio, and if the latter be a trifle rough in expressing himself, the former may
soothe us by the gentle poetry of his language. Mr. Claassen won first place in the local oratorical contest, with his rival a close second. He is also the oracle of the German club, his nationality making him an excellent critic of the distressing combinations of sounds there engendered.
Mr. McMurray comes of a family of orators, and he does not intend to give up his studies upon receiving his diploma. Although he will teach in Nebraska for the next year or two,he expects to complete his oratorical studies later on.
RUDOLPH CAUGHEY.
MISS THOBURN.
Rudolph Caughey has been prominent, ever since he entered school, in religious circles. During the past year he has held the position as the president of the University Y.M.C.A.
Miss Blanch Thoburn for a year, has occupied the same place. in the Y. W. C. A. that Mr. Caughey held in the Y. M. C. A. In fact, she has been identified with religious work throughout the college course.
J. W. HULLINGER.
FRED RAYMOND.
J. W. Hullinger, former principal of the Junction City schools and always one of the best and most jovial of men, is among the graduates. He is one the brightest students
