In rhc autumn of nineteen hundred and forty one. we came to college, a little nervous, a little timid among the upperclassmen, but brimming with energy and plans for our four years at Queens. During our Freshman year we paraded as flappers’’ on Rat Day. won a proud second place on Stunt Night, and helped instigate the redecoration of the Recreation Room. Midway our first year in college we heard the President declare our country at war. Ours were to be wartime college years. As Sophomores, the class of 45 worked harder and lived more seriously than we had as Freshmen. That year we drafted the new Freshmen into the Queens Quacks for a G. I. Rat Day. and we won another second place in Stunt Night. Apart from the lighter phases of college life, we chose our major subjects and studied them in earnest, bought war stamps, and read the newspaper word for word. The Juniors of nineteen forty-three and forty-four led busy lives on the campus. We worked up to first place on Stunt Night and sponsored the second annual Sorority Sing. We had hard-working members on the War Service Committee, and in every organization functioning at Queens. On the lighter side of things— we gave the Senior class a big send off with a Canteen banquet at the Country Club. Our last year was the best year; yet none of them will ever fade. We danced at the first formal our college ever gave and won again that first prize ribbon at Stunt Night. Some of our fearless ones went into the city schools as practice teachers. Our commence- ment inspiration will never leave us—that last memory of Alma Mater transcends all others. The four impatient years are over: we are graduates of Queens College. Though clouded by war. they have been happy years, wonderful years—and too short. We leave part of ourselves to Queens and yet take much more of her with us. To you. Alma Mater, each member of the class of ’45 would say. Thank you for what you are and for what you have made of us. 4
