The administration of the college in founding the department for work with handicapped children made use of the un- usual facilities which the location of the college in Jacksonville provides. The train- ing will also meet a great need by prepar- ing workers for child welfare service. Com- pletion of required study in the school leads to the degree of Master of Arts. By arrangement with the Illinois State De- partment of Public Welfare, the School for the Deaf, the School for the Blind, the State Mental Hospital, all located within the city Margaret Hollenbach, A.B., Albright College Betty Mangold, A.B., MacMurray College Rachel Peterson, A.B., Minnesota State Teachers College Nancy Ziesmer, A.B., MacMurray College of Jacksonville, and the State School and Colony for the Feeble-minded at Lincoln, Illinois, and the Institute for Juvenile Re- search at Chicago, all are co-operating in the project and will give graduate students opportunity for practical application of their studies. Students taking graduate study must spe- cialize in one of the various fields, in test- ing, work with the deaf or the blind, with the psychotic, or the feeble-minded, the de- linquent, or the problem child. Students must be college graduates be- fore undertaking this study. MacMurray College offers excellent opportunities for this type of work. Twenty-three

With a little seriousness — aware that the world today is far from a smoothly running world — with more than a little resoluteness — determined to do their very best wherever they are most needed — the senior class of 1943 brings to a close four years of work, play, and fun together and preparation for the future. Remember the seniors for: their sponsor- with-ideas-and-action. Miss Mary Prosper, who took Mrs. William G. McCloskey ' s place ( Miss Ann, to the campus) for the class ' senior year; their formal senior tea, the annual affair to which the mothers of seniors are especially invited, which was planned by Margaret Studebaker and Marge Greer. Remember them for their Senior Ball, de- signed on the theme of Snowf lakes and Ice and arranged by Chairman Bea Giess- ing with gracious Harriet Layne presiding as Queen of the Ball; their rousing project to the patriotic tune of Cheers from the Campus, led by June Clark and Fran Lar- son. The seniors danced, the seniors sang, the seniors acted, and put over a successful show, the last in a series of four during their four college years. Remember them for their Thursday morn- ing breakfasts in the second floor lounge of Ann Rutledge Hall; their officers — president, Alice Finney; vice-president, Jan Blake; re- cording secretary, Betty Knight; correspond- ing secretary, Betty Spikes; treasurer, Bea Giessing. Remember them for their seventy-six campus personalities; their fun; their spirit. Here ' s to the seniors, the best of them all!
