Jane Urey When the Senior Class of '44 arrived on the Grove City Campus in 1940 they were 319 strong. Since then the armed services have tak- en a heavy toll of both men and women, so that the number has been reduced to 108, despite the influx of members from the class behind as the result of an accelerated program. In its freshman year, the class elected Tom Evans president, continuing under his leader- ship the following year. Although working un- der wartime difficulties, the custom of a Sopho- more Valentine's Dance was upheld. The junior year a new president, Bob Butler, held office until called into the air corps at semesters. Before leaving, however, Bob helped to arrange a successful Iunior Prom for which Bob Astor's orchestra furnished the music. The Ouija staff, forced to change editors and busi- ness managers in the midst of compiling mater- ial, and working under the handicap of losing half the men of the class during the year, issued the book in the spring of 1944. Florence Cres- tani, editor of the Ouija, also represented the class on May Day as lunior May Queen. Eileen Work served as capable Business Manager of both the Ouija and the Collegian. I'a yr' ScF'?'c'llfr.'c'l1 lass of 1944 Joan Jane Under the leadership of Bob Hartman, in the senior year, the class has forged ahead. Miriam Miller was co-chairman of the over-the-top S1000 WSSF drive. Student Council president, Iohn McDowell, with his able group, including seniors Ioan Caryl, Florence Crestani, Ann Mc- Clymonds, Miriam Miller, Dave Griffiths, Iean Heasley, and Ged Householder, worked under financial difficulties: the Council inaugurated a Tag Day for Student Council. The members of the class granted membership in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities includ- ed lane Urey, Miriam Miller, Anne Byerly, Ioan Caryl, Ioan Boger, Iohn McDowell, and Ged Householder. Noteworthy in the graduating class are Clair Weller and Tom Kunkle who will receive their degrees as the result of completing their' require- ments for graduation in the Navy V-12 pro- gram. The graduating group will include per- sons receiving the A.B. degree, the B.S. degree, the B.S, in C. degree, and the Bachelor of Music degree.

Student Council .ini :I-1' The Student Council was organized in 1924, Since then, the Council has acted as the main link between faculty administration and student administration. The members are elected by their individual classes to serve for one year. The elections are usually held along with the general class elections in the spring at a meet- ing of the entire college. Representation is based upon class seniority and the seniors are adequately represented with six elected members and two faculty appointees. The junior class is allowed four representatives and the sophomores two. The freshmen hold an election late in the fall and are permitted one member on the Council. The theory behind the Council is that students will be better fitted to take on responsibilities in the future if they are now able to exercise their own government. As soon as the school year begins. the Coun- cil takes up the business of handling student problems. The freshmen are made familiar with the college customs and traditions. This year, because of the war, the usual freshman initiation was dispensed with. Freshmen did not have to wear the customary garb or conform with the customary freshman rules and regulations. Plans for Homecoming included notifying all alumni and giving a dance. Our Christmas dance and the sophomore dance, sponsored by the Council, followed next on the social sched- ule. The customary Leap Week was then ob- served and all the girls had a chance to ask boys for dates. The Easter dance was a highly suc- cessful affair. As an added attraction this year the social room in Crawford Hall was opened on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday nights for informal danc- ing. The Council sponsored dances and open- houses for the servicemen so that they might have the opportunity to get acquainted with our students. The Student Council, together with the M. A. P. House Council, inaugurated a pro- gram whereby the servicemen could enjoy the recreation room in the dorm Tuesday evenings and Saturdays. K President ........ ...,.....
