GRACE CARLSEN CLARA GUDIM ☆ ☆ ☆ MARGUERITE GREGUSON ELIN JOHNSON GENEVIEVE LARSON Noon rush We caught Grace, Elin, Gen, Peg. and Clara com- ing through the busy cafeteria. Grace may be in the background of this picture, but she is in the foreground of the school activities. According to the best jive dictionaries. Grace is a slick chick with a brainy crainy. It isn’t that she has a temper, but she sees Red often. Now Elin is dainty, tenacious, and sweet. She likes sociology and the navy best. Of course, Gen is partial to the army, and in class- room it's science. She is tiny, but beware, she raises averages! As for Peg Greg, she’s a sparkling combination of perseverance, wit, and integrity, wrapped up in a wee package about size nine. Agile Pegity likes sports, music, and home talent productions. Oh. yes, Peg sings, too, but good. Then there is Clara, the card, Gudim. That girl is droll. Clara likes to read, write, and sing. She’s no radiator drapper. In fact, she flies low.

C.. 3; Social Director Sonior Class. 4, Because of the war, the class of 1945, which was one of the largest freshmen classes to be enrolled in Augsburg, has been reduced to a chiefly fem- inine group of twenty studious coeds. This year, their fourth return engagement, finds them study- ing hard in addition to engaging in a multitude of extra curricular activities. Vera Thorson. the vivacious senior president from Neenah, Wis., is the first coed to hold this position. Petite little miss, Marie Gjenvick. plays stand-in for Vera in her role of vice president. Val Hauck, the treasurer, may have stage fright when it comes to having his senior picture taken, but he forgets his modesty entirely when it comes to hounding out the other members of the class to pay their dues. Another bright light in the class is Esther Aadland. the carefree coed from Minneapolis, who holds the job of secretary. Lillian Schrader from Bruno. Minn., keeps herself busy planning social activities for the other members of her class. Cheerful outlook

Dawn-gracious, reserved, always knowing what to do at the proper time, possesses a wide range of abilities and inter- ests. Dawn will be greatly appreciated in her teaching career. Joy. too. possesses a wide range of interests and abilities. Versatile, friendly, subtle in her humor. Joy has made many friends for her- self during her days at school. Taking all in all. Joy thinks life is swell. Next we have Mim. our Augsburgian editor, who is an expert in her own right in adapting herself to people and situations. Full of life and new ideas. Mim wants to soe prog- ress in life. Beth Opgrand. the married member of our class, finds but a few minutes to waste during the day. Keeping a husband well supplied with letters in the Pacific, and keeping up a high aver- age in school, is a busy program for anyone. Mamie, always vivacious and peppy, is well-liked by all the students on the campus. She is best known for her dramatic rendition of Selma. Mb -
