Most of us can remember when Carthage College had an enrollment at little over the 200 mark. Then the veterans came along. The new dormitory was built. Then the cafeteria was shifted from the now Denhart parlcns t0 the new Commons. Later the new athletic lights, the Home EC. building, and a host of other improvements hit the campus to give it Change. Things like Collegeville and the Union were unheard of in those days. But the students lived through it all . . . . the improvements, the hardships and the fun. For three years we've listened to senior classes saying goodbye. It always seemed to be a needless affair, but we hated to see them go. Now welre departing . . . . we're the ones to say goodbye. Though we leave Carthage halls with a feeling of sadness, we may always look back on the good times we had. Not only may we look back on a building expansion, but we may look back on a. complete rejuvenation of the college itself. The size of the faculty has almost tripled. The athletic program has expanded to such an extent that Carthage can compete with schools twice its size. And the size of the college is larger. The number of students has tripled . . . . quite un- like those somber days back in 194-5. But not all the graduates started their Car- thage careers in .45. Many are transfer stu- dents and many are veterans who are finishing their college Career in three years. Yes, Carthage College has changed and so has the senior class. We're proud of the col- lege and we're proud of our class. We're happy: to sag.r welre the largest graduating class Carthage ever had. And welre proud of the good times we'lve had and well forget the bad ones. 5
