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!
