Kolb Korlter Kinneor Havens Johns Meyer ADMINISTRATION ALFRED JOHNS, M. A., received his degree from the University of Rochester and then continued his education at M. L T. He is registrar and in times such as these, aids the boys in securing the spot they desire in the Armed Forces. Lena Karker, as a registered nurse, is in charge of our Medical Department. This has proved to be a full-time job as she is not only called upon to administer physical care, but plenty of morale boosting during the year, Marie Kinneor graduated from the Boston School of Physical Education. She makes an earnest ef- fort to keep our posture up and our hips down. And if you'll notice she's a big success. Mary Havens is our school librarian. Keeping her fingers on all those books has proved a problem especially when they take a detour through the dorm. Frederick J. Kolb graduated from Bobson Institute, and as our comptroller takes care of the financial problems of the Institute. Quite a job, wouldn't you say? Florence M. Meyer, B. S., graduated from Iowa State College. She's now director of the dormi- tory. Her kind and patient understanding has guided us safely through many a storm. 22

THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DESPITE the condition of war existing in our coun- try, our Senior class recognized the obstacles to be met and faced them with confidence and fore- sight. Those of us who have been able to finish our last year of study are proud to be graduating with the knowledge we have gained at the Insti- tute at a time when students with our training are so badly needed for the defense of our country. It became common practice during the year to hear that another classmate had been called for service. Despite this thinning out of our class, we were able to keep up our reputation as a hard- working, co-operative, but fun-loving group. In former years, the Senior Ball climaxed the year's social event. But this year, due to the war and its ensuing complications, the Junior and Senior classes joined forces to give the school the Victory Ball which become a reality January 22 in the Seneca Hotel Ballroom. One of the top-notch musical organizations in the east, namely, Dick Rogers and his band, high- lighted the evening with ultra-modern dance music. Much credit for the success of the affair goes to the following Senior Executive Committee Mem- bers: Fred Martin, President; Jackie Pfleeger, Sec- retary; Carlton Straub, Treasurer; Shirley Rupright, William Ingeman, Jane Zogg, James Keating, James Mickles, and Jeanne DeVolder. Mr. Milton McCullough was the hard-working fac- ulty adviser for our 1943 Senior class. May we also give the Junior class its fair share of credit for its part in making the dance the success it turned out to be. As the selected members of our class set forth after our Convocation exercises on May 15, we will be ready and able to fulfill the requirements of the military or civilian service to which we may be assigned. 24
