CHRONICLE OF THE CLASS OF UNL iHOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO A. D. 1950-The Class of 1942 was born when Jane Bronson. Winifred Saxton, and Frances McGinnis were enrolled in the First Class at the Seminary. A. D. 1937 After seven years of coming and going the class finally settled down and was augmented by the addition to its ranks of Bonnie Jean Chitty. Hazel Schaeffer, Marie Eckstrom, Georgiana Wieb enson. Jane Snider, and Dorothy Richards. A. D. 1938 Showing its originality, the class presented a Chinese play Lady Precious Stream, and organized the Eighth Class football team. A. D. 1939 The class, known by our red ties and proud of becoming a part of the Upper School, was led through its freshman year by Jane Bronson as president. Anita Derby, back from a year abroad, joined us as an effi- cient secretary-treasurer and held this position for three years, breaking all third-term traditions. The Freshman-Sophomore Hop was our first grown-up dance. A. D. 1940— W inifred Saxton wielded the gavel over tfie wise Sophomores during this year. Again, the most important event was the Freshman-Sopho- more Hop in which we further demonstrated our originality by giving a formal dance with nautical decorations, including a gangplank, and by inviting the entire Upper School. Elizabeth Leisk joined us this year and became a greatly loved member of the class. A. D. 1941 — The junior year was an outstanding one for the Class of 1942. We felt the distinction of being upperclassmen and we greeted five new members: Joan Campbell. Catherine Gilbert. Fifi Hill, Harriette Giesy, and Mar ' Jeanne Norris. The school was properly startled and pleas- antly surprised when the Jolly Juniors appeared in fireman-red class sweaters, breaking another tradition! Georgiana Wiebenson, an effi- cient president, led the class in its other successful undertakings: namely, the gift booth for the Senior Carnival, the Jingle Bell dance, the Junior Prom, and the never-to-be-forgotten take-off on the senior play. As You Like It. A perfect closing event of a perfect year occurred when Bonnie Jean Chitty was chosen Key Girl at the Athletic Ban- quet. The class was so proud of her! 1941 s May Day was held in the gymnasium because of the inclemency of the weather and Jane Bronson was our Maid-of-Honor to Betty Ann Love, the Queen. A.D. 1942-Our last and most glorious year— the senior year! We greeted Mary- beth Whitehouse and Betty Hopkins from Spokane. Linette Parsons from Alaska, and Helen White from St. Louis. Missouri. Finding the spade among the pipes in the swimming pool roora;was our first exciting achievement of the year. The di scoverv of the senior rings in the center of a huge cobweb of white string made the class realize that, at last, they were truly seniors. We elected Jane Bronson, president. Winifred Saxton. vice-president, and Marie Eckstrom, secretary-treasurer. T he Class of 1942 presented a most successful Senior Carnival under the chairmanship of Anita Derby. Thirteen of us. with Miss Fitch, Mrs. Johnsen, and Miss Greason. went skiing at a beautiful houseparty at Paradise in February. We went to the Junior Prom together and had the most beautiful May Day in the history of the Seminary. Now we are ready to graduate— to have our crosses and our diplomas! It doesn ' t seem possible that the Seminary will ever be able to get along without us. Many of us have been in the school since we were very young ' (with apologies to A. A. Milne) and we have grown up inside its ivy- clad walls. If the entire truth were really known, we don t know how we will ever get along without the Seminary! Frances McGinnis and Jane Bronson.
