rw 5 x 9- 9 ' Q? The Senior Class T'was a gay and irresponsible group Cof about 417 in '41 that flooded in to join the already-present students, at the same time the new college presi- dent, Dr. Becker, took office. 'Course our own class president, Giny Williams fnow Clarkl took office, too-but to where we've never fully decided. Brain teasers of that year were: ls Sodder Brown going to school or not? Is Rita Wild or does she just pretend to be? Is Cuban Gilbert Carter more interesting in a serious or a ridiculous mood? Those and other questions of like importance crowded the brains of the students and teased the profs. Cbrain teasers-get it?l Some of our members went so far as to put a goat into Chapel fwe'll never tell the faculty that Giny Williams Clark and Paul D. Bouman did itj while calmer members raised their hands in wholly horror. Our sophomore year found us still undecided as to which of us were going to be class members fespecially officers? and which were not. We never could remember who the president was-the office went from Ted Heiney- to Bill Iohnston-to Sam Pierson-to-fsee Uncle Sam for further detailsl. Then came the war in full swing-and quite suddenly these same light- hearted students who had nonchalantly taken an unorthodox sophomore skip day-all their own, became serious Cat least semi-seriousl lads and lassies facing the realities of the armed forces. Our members, therefore, are few now--not one fellow, in fact, of that origi- nal group, remains, and but three of the original girls from the class are com- pleting their fourth year with Dr. Becker as H. C. president. But the class fled through a strenuous junior year by the versatile Giny Williams Clark, only to find itself, by a quirk of the war, under the guidance, in their senior year, of the erstwhile shy ill Rita Wildl is proud of its members both graduat- ing and serving in the armed forces. Of those here, the class has Rita-busy indeed by keeping Schacht's run- ning, Helen-a busy body what with practice teaching and all, Giny-who teaches school by day-goes to classes by night-and two, Leone and Harold -who thought the junior class too dull and decided to be seniors. The others -Les, Lee, and john, came from a class here and a class there, but always from H. C. William came from Marion College to add his talents to those of the other Seniors. And in the armed forces, two, Willard Mcllrath, and Paul D. Bouman have already given their lives -- and from the others come back word that they remember the carefree days of their Alma Mater and that out of them has come a deep sense of loyalty to H. C. and their' school-fellows. We are proud to include them Cminus H. C. diplomasl in the class of '45- see next page for further details. 13
