SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS First Row lleft to rightl-Judy Nelson, Frances Sheridan, Mary Jane Metzger. Second Row-Richard Edwards. Donald Eagen, Jack Regan, Fred Davis, president. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It was rather an overwhelming task which faced us last September. The uphold- ing of one hundred years of tradition sounds not easy, yet we, the first class of the new century somehow managed to add to another happy year of Seminary history. Very conscious of our new dignity as Seniors, yet a little uncertain how to manage it, we soon became organized under the patient guidance of Miss Roy and Prof. Roberts. After a campaign almost as spirited as the national, Fred Davis was elected President, Mary Jane Metzger, Vice-President, Dick Edwards, Second Vice-Presidentg Frankie Sheridan, Secretaryg Don Eagen, Treasurer, and Judith Nelson and Jack Reagen, His- torians Con a Day Student-Boarder Coalition ticket, naturallyi. We have had our share of mighty athletes, serious scholars, journalists, thespians, and songsters. The football season was led through a series of hard-fought games by Captain Fred Davis and Manager Peter Price, with such stars as Warren Shiber, Gail Phillips, Ed Wolfe, Mac Smith, Marc Ruch, Joe Rossi, and others dem- onstrating their PEP , The boys' basketball team was especially notable this year, with Van Tillburg, and Davis prominent on the team. Swimming and wrestling, too, had their share of enthusiastic participation. Lest we neglect the fragile sex, Captain Betsey Adams, Kathy Lamme, Mary Jane Metzger, Nancy Dembert, and others could be seen any pleasant autumn day from Boys' Study Hall window racing down back campus armed with their hockey sticks. These four, plus Betty Russell, Eddie Kleinrock, Betty Luetzel, and Eleanor Tremayne, as man- ager, ably took care of girls' basketball. Don Eagen, when not setting fire to the chemistry laboratory, and Helen Flannery kept the Opinator filled with all the news that's fit to print . Herb Weiss convinced us of the importance of military training in the debate, and A1-villa Travis and Don Eagen proved that a background of Cicero's oration reaped great rewards in the ora- torical contest. The Adelphians, furthermore, had a very successful year and have chosen Just Like Mother Used To Bake as their new motto. Cum.Laude awards in January revealed that there were several among us who were eager beavers , though the virtuoslty of Schwartz and Ellsworth has never failed to amaze us. But lest we forget those little things which made this our last year so memorable, Warren's baby-blue car so tastefully decorated, Peter Price, the ideal campaign man.- ager, Sam Blum on the stage in some exotic costume, the boarder boys' cowboy boots, Herb and Margie haunting the halls at 3:15, the Midycar Prom, thanks to Mac and Randy, the Eagen-Regan brand of humor, oratiuns, S. P. U. C.'s, and so much fun and frivolity! This year, however, the war has lent serious overtones to our butterfly whirl. Many of our boys have already left for the service, among then Larry Nankiwell, Ed Wolfe, Marc Ruch, and many more are soon to leave. Our fervent word to those young men and to all who are soon to take their place in the world is good luck and Godspeed.
