5 E-ll, u li 'X in hugfl ' Q Q Vrn. 1 31' AN. 2 0WL0lf'8 CKULJZ5 I X . 4- The Sophomore class ot l942f43 was probably the most unique ot any sopho- more class that ever attended this college. They were unique because they were not distinguished by the gaudy ties they Wore , but rather by what branch ot the armed torces they were enlisted in as re- serves. All ot the Army reserves, ot which there were torty, were called February l6, l943. Eleven ot these reserves were members of our class. Although the Sophomore girls could not enlist in the reserves, many a girl did her bit by willingly writing to previous mem' bers ol our class who are now in the Army, Navy, or Air Corps. The class president, David Barnhart tuntil his call to the Army? and Mr. Smith, the class advisor, generously supervised the many activities ot the class. Miss Margaret Mary Madden also put forth great effort in order to squeeze dues out ot everyone. The other equally capable officers Were: lean Drye, vice president: Alice Bubb, secretaryy Doris Huttman, stu- dent council representative. We send out a plea to this class to return again next year, and the next to complete their unfinished iob. Naturally it will be impossible tor all to return, but those who can should see this class through and make it not only a unique Sophomore :lass but also a unique lunior and Senior class. PRAECO--29

LEHMAN Winter's over, So much has happened, lt's Praeco time, But the luniors aren't caughi nappin' ,H Everyone should really know this im- portant group on campus. There certainly aren't manyffif anyforganizations this class doesn't represent. lt is a true state- ment that these luniors have made a dent into school affairs. The Freshman frolic was no failure. On the contrary, it was well supported, unique, supreme, and in- formal. Very much like other classes the luniors lost many fine classmates. The show must go on is our motto. Therefore, under capable leadership and guidance from our advisor, Mr, Lehman, we keep the play moving. Being a very sociable class, the Iuniors have sponsored two skating parties, not only paying for theirselves but also giv- ing many of our guests bruises in the form of door prizes. Cur Sophomore year was pleasantly staged through companionship, scholar' ship, and simple good old times. This group of STUDENTS is known for its rol- licking good times. Yes, the Soph Hop of l942 will long be remembered as one of the few famous dances on campus. A dark cloud passed over us at the be- ginning of our lunior year, when one of our beloved classmates, Nan Conway, was tragically taken from us. On February 4 the class ranks were thinned to swell those of Uncle Sam. Tuxedos, evening gowns, informal par- ties, skating parties, l-lops, week-ends, dates, grades, serenading, compulsory Chapel programs, Vespers, no Saturday classes, P. T. course, studies, first mid-year graduation exercises, vacations, returning to work, days and nights to be remem- bered, Miss Dixon's Festivalf fall these things remain imbedded in a portion of our memory as happy occasions. Lassies with broken hearts, still remembering and remaining, the luniors dedicate this page to all the members of the class of i944 who have entered the service. Good luck and may God bless yous-fmen of l944. PRAECO--28

X x?lf'85Al0fL6LlfL CKJI55 The Freshman Class of '46 entered Lock Haven S. T. C. with bright hopes for the future, After the difficult task of arranging schedules and becoming accustomed to the peculiarities of college life, we settled down to our new routine, only to be again disturbed by the arrival of those aueer, but necessary, things called Freshman Customs. We learned to respect not only our teachers and advisers, but upper class- men as well. We now feel that we are a definite part of the school. Toward the end of the first semester, our class began to diminish because the mas- culine element was helping to fill the ranks of our armed forces. The size of our class was enlarged again with the beginning of the second semester. Many new members joined our ranks and are looking forward to successful college careers. 1 We are going to try and complete our college career and keep the home fires burning for those boys who left us in the middle of the year to tackle a job much harder.
