SENIORS OSCAR S. WISE Philadelpliia, Pa. B.S. in Secondary Education One year at Temple Uiiiversitv. Etownian. Reporter 4: Inter- national Relations Club 3. Cabinet Member 4: Y. M. C. A. 3, 4; Class .-Pres. 4. The Great Ossie with his innmiierable problems has proved a fount of never-failing entertaimiient and fatherly advice for the many who have sat at his feet, especially for other members of the EA». Rorrower of money, teller of tales, student of history, ex- pounder at lentrth. cutter of classes — our worthy sage will be carried far by the sheer force of his personality. Class History T70rR years have passed since sixty-nine timid Freshmen tlirilied to the first glad weeks of - - college life. Four years ago they drowned in hard work tiie first traces of nostalgia. Since then, under the leadership of Madiera, Baugher, and King, the class has made for itself a place on the campns. Atliletic heroes, dramatic stars, fluent preachers, able musicians, and reliable workers in every organization — these are the contributions tiie Class of 1940 lias made to college life. The tug-of-war, the Freshman party (we captured the invading Sophs), hikes, programs, and banquets helped the first year to pass rapidly. Another year brought heavier scliednles and increased re- sponsibilities. At the end of that year many of our elementary students secured teachhig positions. Before we parted we celebrated our achievements at a house party at Mount Gretna. The next year, with diminisiied numbers, we renewed our work. A year of frantic activity in classes and extra-curriculars, and then — we were Seniors! Our last year brought us some new- classmates, experienced teachers who iiad decided to finish tjieir college course. This year, with its classes, parties, and dormitory fun. was made especially interesting by the production of the class play, ' Silas Marner. At last came May, apple-blossoms, and graduation. ' Not of the sunlight. Not of the moonlight. Not of the starlight! 0, young Mariner, Down to the haven. Call your companions. Launch your vessel. And crowd your canvas, And, ere it vanishes Over the margin. After it, follow it. Follow the CJIeam. ' — Tennyson Page 2
