The Junior Class In September, 1941, our class assembled with much excitement and no little apprehension to register as Freshmen. ‘The planned activities of Freshman week acquainted us with the faculty, the buildings, and the ideals of the Rhode Island School of Design. ‘The climax of the week was a successful party at Cranberry Hill Farm where games, dancing and “getting acquainted” held full sway for the day. Weall knew our class had started off well. We settled down with much enthusiasm to learn the foundation on which our later courses depended. Our class officers elected early in the year were: PYCMAGT geet ee Ano ae eee 3 a+, Peter Hesse VGC CST eT lars coin cack ee ch EAA, © - aye James Foster WECT CLAN ieee ea. oer, oe. a a PR eo oe Elizabeth Frazier I EGSULY Gees ee ant en aaa Oe eye. eee atticia, Ghamplin We all decided we would establish a precedent and hold a Freshman Dance as the first major activity of the school year. Consequently, a most successful party was held at the Crown Hotel, December 5th, three hundred attending. After Pearl Harbor we all realized changes must take place, both in curricu- lum and in students. Although our male members of the class began choosing the branches of service they wished to enter, the February enrollment was nearly up to normal. New courses such as Navigation and Camouflage became incor- porated into our normal schedule. September, 1942, found our class registration much smaller, for many of the boys had now gone into the service. Our courses were chosen with quite definite ideas of our future—a future filled with doubt and disturbing fears. All excur- sions to the farm were discontinued for the duration. ‘This year we elected the following officers: Ie RAVAN, Poe ee apace 2. oe .......James Anthony Vice=Presideniae eo. teen os ee ,. ae Jane Taft NO ChELT Vina i Meier aise ee 24k Oe te ee ‘Louise Muscente Treasurer ee Charlotte Smith Our social activities were limited to a dance held in conjunction with the other classes. ‘This took place at the Biltmore, and was to be the last formal event for the duration. The February enrollment was still further depleted. At this time also a dis- tinct innovation appeared—a summer term was added to the school year. This meant that by going to school during the summers of 1943 and 1944 we could graduate in October 1944. There was much discussion among the students as to the advantages of this program, but most of us decided to accept the accelerated plan. We registered in June and enjoyed the hottest June and July that Provi- dence has known in years. The officers elected for this year are: Prestdentige se geen fs eres ea Cake 2 se N rea Ne Soe lanes rant Vice PTesident ia ea. = ay eee eae CRIT ee ne ae Charlotte Smith SCCTELATY Serre Pte: Cage hei Sa ood eh ee Rebecca Cahoon TT CRSUTCR ace, year ae taka le he: Se Rig curs priate wet Margaret Haney We are all seriously at work now—our Junior year is more than half over. We can be proud of our record here during the disturbing months of war time college. Our ultimate aim is to be of service in a post-war world. JANE ‘TAFT
