JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The Class of ' 44 was able to keep up its renown because of its active social life. Beginning with its Freshman year the present Junior class has been outstanding. Through careful maneuvering, they were able to enjov the annual Freshman Feed without interruption by the upper-classmen. As Sophomores this class ' a hay-ride, an unusual activity on the campus. The Friday night All-College parties v ere begun in e spirits with the Class of ' 44 sponsoring one of their genuine hoy-rides, with hay, horses, chaperons, et cl. Time passes on, and so it seems that students do also. The Class of ' 44 began its career with an enrollment of fifty-seven for the Freshman year. After the Freshman thinning, there were thirty- five the second year. This year there were nmeteen in the class. From all appearances the number will decrease proportionately next year. The class of ' 44 has a good spirit of service In its attitude toward life. A number of the men who once answered to the roll coll of the Class of ' 44 ore now answering the Roll Call of the Colors. Of lost year ' s thirty-five students, six did not return because of service to the government; two because of teaching; two because of marriage; and two because of nurse ' s training. Among the numbers of the present class there ore five men In the Reserves, seven men serving as Student Min- isters, two women training for Deaconesses. Two men have left school for the Navy since September. McKendree Is proud of the service rendered by this class. Though, In number, the Class of ' 44 Is dlmlnlsnlng, the spirit of the class and its loyalty to McKen- dree Is ever the same. Waiting for the bell. Of-ficers: Ball, Oannenbrink, Hinson, Kennedy — President, Harshbarger. Easy basket. Midnight rendezvous.

OIPHOMORiE CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Last year ' s Freshman class of fifty husky lads and iimid lassies has dwindled down to a Sophomore class of twenty- four. To moke up for the decrease in numbers, the class has put forth twice as much effort as it might have ex- hibited in normal times. With their own successful picnic of last year, the hair- cuts, and the night rides in mind, the group initiated this year ' s greenies in proper style. The majority of the members of the class participate in the organizations and the out-side activities of the campus. Many of its members hold executive positions in the literary societies, the Y ' s, and on the staff of the Re- view. Sophomores are well-represented in sports, too. Just this year some of the boys hove been called into the armed services; others have enlisted in the reserves. Take notice of this class! You can tell the serious Senior By his grave and lordly airs You can always tell a Freshman By the colors which he weors You can tell the ardent Junior By his academic touch And you can tell o Sophomore But — you can not tell him much. Officers: Northdurft, Kean, Cooper — President. Trebling with the trio. Nice shot, Sammy. Dorm doings.
