Secunda Donald Black, president; Lowell Hey, vice- president; Shirley Stoll, secretary. Although for many of us this has been just another year at Concordia, there have been many noticeable differences. The military department, which we dis- liked so much, has been left behind. We have been able to live and spend our time with each other, but best of all, the rigors and requirements of nightly study periods have been removed. At first we took ad- vantage of this privilege, unable to get our fill of freedom after four years of what we considered slavery; but gradually, as grades began to drop, we took the situa- tion in hand and proved ourselves worthy. For the first time we have been treated as men and have enjoyed it immensely. For the rest of us, this year has meant an entirely new mode of life. For many of us it has been our first prolonged stay away from home. At first there were nu- merous innovations and oddities to be- come accustomed to; we had to become a part of the dormitory life; we found that at the Bunk a Secundaner ochses at his barn; and we came into contact with many traditions that meant little to us but seem- ed so important to “Those Primas.” But as the year wore on, we began to under- stand, appreciate, and enjoy “The Bunk” and its customs. We, the feminine minority of this Secun- da class, can be classed as true pioneers. Outnumbered 8-1 we have tried to accus- tom the Concordia misogynists to the pres- ence of female pulchritude on their cam- pus. This task has proved extremely in- teresting, and as we look back now, we consider our job well done. But all of us, although the Latin termi- nology once seemed so unnecessary and unimportant, are proud to be members of the 1952 Secunda class.
