s E I I R S CLASS OFFICERS President JOSEPHINE McKEE Vice president ELEANOR HUFERD Secretary HELEN WHITEHEAD Treasurer FRANCES DONNELLY Wondering Seniors look back to 1 94 1 and try to figure out where the four years went. The years started out calmly with the usual whirl of welcomes and the Dunes trip. Then came December, all students and al l the world stopped to hear that a state of war existed between the United States and Japan. (The class went on as before, with its five Sullivans, Dorothy, Ed, Jim, Mary Anne and Peggy, and did little more spectacular than to have a dance which was a flop and four year hangover.) Sophomore year the war was much more evident to the class. One by one, the men left school to add ASN or similar notation after their names. The big jolt came when all members of the Enlisted Reserve Corps were called into service, soon to be followed by the Air Corps Reserve. With this movement the ranks of the class were greatly depleted. (Two years had gone and the class of ' 45 had two Sullivans left — two were now in khaki, one had become Sister Joseph Andre, Mary Anne and Dorothy plugged along at school.) Any graduate trying to recal l his-her junior year at CTC gets at best a hazy picture. Prac- tice and pre-practice, We ' re not teaching subject matter, we ' re teaching kids became the familar slogan. Only special subject majors were left to carry on in classes on campus. (Mary Anne became Mrs. Breen — and then there was one.) Suddenly, its the last year. Seniors saw June coming faster than they ever dreamed it could. Days flew and activities flew with them. Seniors became responsible in all organizations, got their names in Tempo, found office holding more work than glory. Cokus Colus , senior variety show, sent the school into laughing fits. (One Sullivan sent out graduation announcements.) Then graduation night was here. The picture was still incomplete. All the graduates wait for their favorite day when their members in service file bock to finish their desk work at 6800 S, Stewart. 14
