HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS In September, 1942, when we of the class of ' 46 entered Emerson, we were strangers in a small community where everyone else had already become adapted to college life and rou- tine; but within the first few weeks, we were acquainted with our own classmates and had a nodding acquaintance with all the upperclassmen. For this, we owe thanks to the Sopho- mores, Juniors, and Seniors for their friendliness and generosity that helped us shape our social and academic life, and to the faculty for their guidance and interest in each individual. One of our first duties as a class was to elect officers. The following were chosen, and have proven themselves capable and inspiring leaders: Eleanor Cline, President; Dorothy Thompson, Secretary; and Elmore Day, Treasurer. With Mr. Shaw, we learned the first principles of acting, that we may go on to the glory of public productions next year as Sophomores. With such plays as Ring Around Elizabeth, Angel Street, The Little Foxes, Susan and God, Ladies in Retirement, and Return Engagement , we made our debut into the fascinating realm of theatre. Despite war and world misery, we pray that we may keep our faith and idealistic hope of bringing beauty into the lives of the people. Page Twenty
