THE CLASS UF 1942 After a Week of tormenting the Freshmen, in the name of an official welcome to the school, the Sophomore president, Sidney Mear, called a Freshman meeting to elect class ofiicers. Those elected were: Thor Hamrin, president, Ruth Bishop, vice- presidentg Barbara Jean Smith, secretary, and Berton Bolyard, treasurer. Our first activity was to give a dance in return for the dance the Sophomores had in our honour. This was held in the Recre- ation Room of Hopkinson Hall, and it Was the duty of the girls to askthe boys. Outstanding among the innovations made by this class Was the institution of monthly class meetings in Kilbourn Hall at noon. These combined a business meeting, a musical program, and a speaker. Upper- classmen were invited to attend. Dr. Hanson inaugurated this series and used as his subject Is Modern Music Modern ? He objected to the connotation of the Word 'modern' and substituted 'contem- porary' in its stead. By illustrating his re- marks at the piano, he made it a highly entertaining discourse. At the next meeting Dr. Marjarum braved severe criticism when he talked on the faults of music stu- dents. Several things he objected to were: selfish individuality, narrovvness of out- look, and lack of curiosity in other fields. His speech was highly thought-provoking. Mrs. Kneisel chose as her subject, the value of literature and languages to a musician. As illustrations she pointed out the use composers have made of ancient legends . . . especially those of Germany. Several students from the class contributed to the musical portion of each meeting, providing an added incentive to class mem- bers to attend. ' Robert Dike organized a Dramatic Club, primarily as a Freshman project. Gradu- ally, hovvever, upperclassmen joined and the club took on the name The Q Club . With a remarkably short period of prepara- tion and in a far-from-amateur manner, the club soon came forth with their initial production: Samson Raphaelson's Accent on Youth . The last major activity was a semi-formal dance, given in MacDoWell Hall. Benny Pressler's extensive advertising and fine management, backed by Freddie Wool- ston's orchestra brought a good crowd to climax a year of successful activity for the Class of 1942.
