The freshmen who entered Augustana in the Fall of 1937 soon lost their green tinge, and with the spirit that has characterized the Class of '41, began to add to the list of student achievements. The Class of 1941 has participated actively in every activity of the CClmpus. The friendships that each has enjoyed will live vividly in the memory of every one of them. At an election early in the Fall the seniors elected Nils Lindbloom for their president. Chosen to assist him were Carl Fjellmcm, vice-president; Emma Bolin. secretary; Paul Hoglund, treasurer. Doris Quist and Iohnny Nelson reigned CLS King and Queen of the Homecoming festivities. The same John Nelson was captain of the gridiron Vikings. Paul Hoglund was captain of the basketball team. Of the many outstanding seniors only c: few can be mentioned: diminutive Bobby Metz, Art Aronson, Marjorie Baumgurten, Bob Lindvcxll, Mary Louise Skoog, Betty Clark. The achievements oi the senior class we but an indication of still greater things to come With hopeful anticipation each member of the Class of '41 looks to the future. RUTH ALBRECHT, Rock Island.

We like to think of our college days as c: soiling journey with each of the four years as Q part where we prepare ourselves for moving on to the next one. And so as juniors we are preparing for that final step of becoming members of that highly exalted senior class. We salute the present senior class as our noble example, and continue our preparation for making the last year as successful as the one of our predecessors. At the helm 01 our Class we hcsve chosen Arthur Helmet, president; Birt Harris, vice-president; Tack Mcnthey, secr.-trec:xs.

A.B., AJVL ALBERT FA SCHERSTEN meesaor oi Sociolugy and Rather thcm imagine themselves crs traditional Sophisticated Sophomores. the members of the Class of '43 like to be considered merely as a part of the great Augustcma family. Even CIS every actual family fosters rivalry so is it within the Augustcmcx group. This competition has given the sophomores an opportunity to demonstrate their talents; and they have proven their abilities in every iorm oi collegiate activity. After spending a year as meek freshmen the members of this Class experienced a remarkable transition, and upon assuming the role of sophomores, definitely asserted themselves in campus activities. With the advent of their junior year close at hand, they are ready to assume the executive positions which accomi puny their esteemed rcmk, Iust us the parents of the tuture ctre the children of today, so the future leaders of Augustancz are the underclassmen of the present. Both individually and col: lectively, the sophomore class may well be expected to bring new honor to Augustanu. Howard Allen, Arthur Anderson.

Bajaaetlzeqmwm, Wm,l$eymtie 4W Two hundred and five of them came fresh from high school, trying hard to hide it But after c1 few weeks of breaking in by the sophomores. the Class of '44 was an integral part of the Augustdnct family. When the Class of '42 were still freshmen they were aphoristtcallv called beautiiul, but, oh, how dumb. Now the beauty prize belongs to the present freshman class, but not the oh, how dumb title. They're cm intelligent and ambitious class-the kind that gets things done. To mention :1 few outstanding freshmen athletes there is Bill Rinckl LeRoy Karlstrom, Muurits Lindvcll, Ioseph Sharp; outstanding in forensics cmd oratory are Philip EngdcthL Helen Bectrt, Bob Coddington, LeRoY Karlstrom.

It unites the sorority cmd non-sororily, the Tri-City and campus women. It provides tor more extracurricular ac- tivities for c: greater number of women. Because other campuses felt a need for such C: group, thleres chapters have been installed at many colleges and universities. The Alpha chap- ter is located at UCLA; from there two delegates were sent to our campus to install the Omicron chapter. This took place on January 301 1941. Sixty girls pledged that evening, and that num- ber has grown since that time. At the first official meeting officers were elected. They are Vivian Holmes, president; Belty Skeg- berg, viceipresident; Imogene Swanson, secre- tary; and Ruth Svensen, treasurer. Decm Cervin and Mrs Ethel Anderson were elected as advisers thleres is off to CI good start, and the years will bring a fuliillment of the hopes of its founders.

Their hos- pitality was further displayed in February When the girls were hostesses at their annual Colonial tea. To make the atmosphere realistic, the girls donned hoop-skirts and were their hair on top of their heads. The cmnucd Mother-Duughter tact was held in May.

When Greek letter societies were prohibited at Augustancx in 1912. a group of Women formed cc society, calling it the Qui est Qui. When the ban was lifted in 1919, the letters Kappa Epsilon were adopted. In the past three years Kappa Epsilon has given the school three Viiqueens.

During the year 1940-41 Omicron Sigma Omicron has sought to emulate ihe ideals set down for us by our founders twenty-one years agH union of brotherhood and equality. It is. to this ideal that we are devoted as brothers in the bond, and is exampliiy this in word and action is our goal. Friendship used in a fraternal sense means more than u nodding acquainicmce or a passing hello, It means living and working together ior c1 comi mom good. It means being able io laugh off troubles and. get down to hard work when ihere is C! real obstacle to overcome. It means being able to jest and joke. and still be serious and sin- cere when a maner of fraternity policy is at siqka To turn bud breaks into good ones, to work, sweat, fight play and laugh together is our justification for existence. As 0505 we cm look back on this year with pride in cur achievemenis athletic and scholastic, but more meaningful than this is our better under- standing of the words brotherhood and fraternity.

The occasion was a blessed event-lhe binh of little Phi Omega Phi. The infant was unusual for having no moiher but six hchctrter Pops.' The Iirst fraternity iniiiation was held in the 01d men's dorm, and according to report, was rather mild. One feature of early initiation smokers was a huge-capctcity Indian peace pipe which was passed around until somecne passed out. Tn 1924 a birthday milestone was recorded by publishing a booklet On February 14, 1940 he inicmt of a quarter of a century ctgo celebmied its twenty-iihh anniversary. In 1924 the alumni num- bered only 45; today their number is unrecorded, but is upproximulely close to 250. Phi Omega Phi is again strong, and its presenl Pops vow to keep it so for the next twenlyilive years. Re-printed with permission from SILVER ANNI- VERSARY. , M .

The school year of 1940741 has been one of special significance to every active Pug cmd alumnus. Il Wcts just twenty-five years ago that nine Aui gustcmu men organized under the Pi Upsilon Gamma caption, becoming the second fraternal organization on the campus, Since this 1ime 1he maximum membership limit has been increased from twelve to fifty-wnd fifty members we have had for many years. The home of the imtemity has changed. three times during its existence. and is now third floor, Andreen Hull. Like any organization with purpose and vitality. the Pugs have set up ideals, the foremost being to maintain c1 well-balanced organization, We have made a conscientious effort to be active in every phase of Augie life: sports of every kind, music, journalism, social life, science, dramatics, for- ensics, religious activities, and, of course, learn- ing. In our second ideal, friendship, we strive for genuine brotherhood and sincere loyalty for school cmd friends. If we of Pi Upsilon Gamma. by persistent effort, can accomplish these ends, then we are proud to be included in the August- cma family. Officers for the year are Arthur Aronson, presi- dent; Paul Hoglund, vice-presideni; Iohn Nelson, secretary; Wayne Nelson, ireasurer; William Swanson, social chairman; Fred.

Although especially proud of its consistently cul- siqnding academic ranking, Rho Nu Delta has never confined its activities to any one field. We are always well represented in varsity and inlme mural Sports, especially wrestling; the choir, or- Chestru, and band,- forensics cmd dramatics. Social funCtions have ceriainly not been overlooked Dur- ing the 194041 season ct number of memorable parties were held. culminating in 5 most success- ful formal dinner-ddnce at Hotel Blackhawk on Icmuury 10111. This and Homecoming, at which the Roundel float, c1 reproduction of the victory belle tower, which won first prize, were the high spots of the year. The only cloud which cast C! shadow on an other- wise bright year was the tragic death of Marvin Peterson, a pledge of the fraternity, who was acci- dentally killed in Moline on Ianuury lllh. Officers for the year are Robert Nysimm, president; Roger Bramen, vice-president; Iohn Ietty and Iohn Caldo, secretary 131 and 2nd semesters, respectively; Nick Pontikes, ireasurer.

A t Your Hospital? What's all the racket? Golty, 5:15 already. Really have to hustle to get to breakfast by 6:30. With hopes that everyone is through with the sink, I dash to the bathroom.

What :1 rush to keep ahead of the nurses carrying breakfast trays! Hypo for patient in 203, and prepare her tor surgery at 8:00. Already the rumble of the cart from the operating room mm be heard coming down the corridor. The operating room nurse and I lift her on the cart and wish her success. Then the sound of the cart grows dimmer as it heads for the operating room. In five minutes the ether bed is made with hot water bottles and flannel blankets, ready for the patient's return. 8:15, time for baths . . . Billy and Sally today. With their linen under my arm, I hurry to the children's ward to clean them up. Billy's c1 good patient,- he's just learning to talkesays hello to all of us. He looks so pitiful, lying there with his broken leg! You can tell that Sally is feeling better todayishe has dropped her paper dolls all over the tloor. At 9:30 the children are clean again and playing happily. Now I can go to class-mctybe. Here comes the super: Please relieve Miss B., and sit with Mrs. M. in 203 until she comes out of the ether, Yes'm. For about the tenth time this morning I rush to the other end of the hall to sit cmd watch the minutes creep by as my patient comes out of the ether. Every- thing is quiet, and there is nothing to do but take her pulse evenr ten minutes and wipe the perspiration from her forehead Wonder how late I'll be to Solu- tions class today? After reporting that all is well, I dash down to the tunnel in the basement and run to class, rolling down my sleeves on the wary. Gully, a test! Let's see-is it drums or minims? 60 minims in a drum; maybe it's 60 drums in CI minim, Dinner at 11:30 and class again at 12:00. Are there that many different kinds of appendicitis? tSlunny, I thought there was only one kind. The two and one half hours we get for rest and relaxation each afternoon is certainly needed. Time to sleep a little and maybe go for CI coke. Duty culls again at 5:007patients have to eat, too, They enjoy their buck-rubs, utter lying in bed Ctll day. HHCtVe to get the patients all washed up for the night before the visitors come at 7:00. Another day on duty is overga dcry of continuous hard work and rushing, but an interesting one.
