CLASS HISTORY BY GoRDoN PRICE THE writing of the history of the Class of 1944 has fallen in the hands of ' an Ishmael of the Class of 1945. and is the chronicle of a class tOrn asunder not by internal strife. but by the irresistibly poignant letters which begin: From the President of the United States, Greetingsf' Our response to this message has been made manifest through our fellows who have exchanged their freshman caps and ponderous text-books for Uncle Sam's overseas caps and manual of arms, and are now at grips with the Philis- tinian powers of the world. Now it may be said that the Class of '44 has completed its academic educa- tion in spite of world conditions, co-education, acceleration, and flunks: and with mingling emotions of elation and regret-elation over the fruition of our efforts, and regrets because time has proved such an exciting rectifier of our mistakes. Our class has, as its precursors, had its quota of those who strove toward emancipation of self through advantageous participation in all Clark had to offer: those who have consciously endeavored to find a basis for intelligent living, have discarded as puerile their dogmatic prejudices, and found material to carry with them into a world sorely in need of the balm of enlightenment. Our years at Clark have been blessed by the cooperation and understanding of faculty and alumni. To them we owe a debt which we can pay only by making successes of ourselves in our chosen fields, thereby proving to these men that the ywere not deceived in the faith and time expended on our behalf. Our class has produced its athletes, its histrionic artists, its debaters, and one very important contribution has been its organization of a Boheme Con- stitution, allowing no corner for fraudulent acquisitions of pelf by enter- prising individuals. More noteworthy, we claim honor in the task of nurturing and directing the daughters of Jonas along the order formulated by our august brethren, and have presented a pattern worthy of adoption by those who tread where our feet have trod, Take heed of our endeavors and perpetuate any overtures We have made toward building a better, more unified Clark. The Class of '44 has shot its bolt-our college years live only in our memo- ries. May those who henceforth grace thy halls, O Jonas, remember our best and forgive the rest. l19l
