KENNETH SCHMIT Scholar KENNETH SCHMIT was acclaimed valedictorian of the class of 1938. Besides attaining the highest scholastic average, Mr. Schmit excelled in athletics and other extra-curricular activities, and served as assistant to Dr. Nash in the Biology department. The class of 1938 selected Joel Torstenson to represent them at the com- mencement exercises. A truly representative student, Mr. Torstenson possesses an enviable record in the field of scholarship, and was active in Forensics, Publications, and those clubs having to do with contemporary social and political problems. In addition to his student activities, Mr. Torstenson aided Professor Hendrickson in the History department. The subject of his speech was “Do We Dare” in which the challenges facing modern college graduates were brought out.
