SENIORS Entering Alma in 1938, the class of '42 was the largest in the history of the college. Early in their first year the men of the class established a reputation for being able to match any opposition by winning the flag rush in record time and were soon recog- nized for their pluck by their upperclassmen disciplinarians. With their usual energy and creative ability the class sponsored two unusually success- ful semi-formal dances in their freshman and sophomore years and held a very fine formal J-Hop last year. It was in the field of athletics, however, that the class of '42 made its greatest show- ing. With the power of several men who were destined to win fame in later years, the frosh football squad went through its season with only one defeat and in many instances made a better showing than the varsity. This same high quality of athlteic ability was also shown by the freshman basketball squad during the 1938-39 season. Through the three years following that first great season the men of this year's senior class have continually filled a majority of the positions on both the basketball and football teams of Alma College and have been influential in earning two MIAA championships in basketball, one championship in football, one in track and one in golf. The class of 1942, the first to be graduated since America entered the war, has from time to time during the past year suffered a decrease in size due to students dropping from school to enter the armed forces. Soon after graduation most of the men of the class will enter some branch of the military service instead of the field for which they have studied. They will do this willingly, however, with the realization that they will be playing their part in making it possible for those students who follow them to be blessed with a liberal education similar to that which they have received at Alma in the past four years. 30
