At Eureka, this is no exception. Bill Shas- teen, president, Miriam Pottenger, vice- Dfesident, and Flo Bell, secretary-treasurer, have had their hands full guiding a mis- chievous and somewhat eccentric class. To them go the highest praise for their untiring efforts. Peeking in on a senior class meeting, I noticed a very distinguished and rgihef prominent figure .... none other than Coach Harold Ave. Both Coach and Mrs. Ave have acted as the backbone for the class of '42. The seniors Wish to thank them for their hard work and contributions that were needed in the way of inspiration, StUbl1llYf Clfld just a few disciplinary measures.

DIPLOMA BOUND ws A 5 . . T ' Q -ff? , I fx , 1 f 2 a year eagerly anticipated and which came too S ,- ' soon for a small but high-spirited group of seniors. f f lt was the year full of special privileges and ex- pected leadership. They took it in stride and handled situations with confi- dence and poise. They were right on hand to enjoy Senior Sneak Day, hid- ing the Fruit Cake from the juniors, to torment the freshmen on Flunk Day, to display their talent in the Senior Play, No Time for Comedy, and to be guests at the lunior-Senior Prom. When they were freshmen, they were called naive, little darlings, typi- cal of freshmen all over the country. They were just as puzzled by the baffling rites of orientation, Freshman Days, and rush week, as the freshmen who still pour into Eureka each September. They learned the customs of the college, discovered that Eureka means Lo, I have found it, and came to revere the traditions of the elms. They were active on campus, in fact, they were activities people. Academically, forensically, musically, athletically, they distinguished them- selves. They were in the presidents' chairs of their Greek organizations. They headed the honorary fraternities on campus. They edited the Prism and the Pegasus. They worked in all religious activities. They did faithful duty on committee after committee. They took orders and gave them. They became noticeably serious toward the end of their junior year when they realized that they had already assumed some college leadership and were going to assume the bulk of the rest of it before the year was over. They bore up admirably. They were real leaders. Much has happened to the college and to the world since that September day in 1938 when they first came to Eureka. They saw the last year of the running-course system at Eureka and were among the first to try the Con- centrated Study Plan. They bade a fond farewell to President Raymond McLain and saw the advent to Eureka of Dr. Burrus Dickinson as president of the college. They saw many faculty members come and go. They are happy that they were privileged to know Dr. Samuel Glenn Harrod, but sad that a member of their class was the last to complete a major under him. Last year when the class of l942 participated in the Ivy Ceremony, it was with joyful, yet sad, hearts, for they knew that not much time remained to them 'neath Eureka's dear elms. The Ivy Ceremony again approaches. Graduation will bring both gladness and sadness. U N20-
