The Class of '43 The Class of '43 will find its place in the college archives with one of the shortest lists of members in the roll book. When an entire world goes on- the warpath college seniors are scarce and are almost as much on the ration list as coffee, sugar, and beef. Bob Kittleson, who was to have been our president, put on an Army uniform instead of returning to Eureka in the fall. As vice- president Doc Mracck became our leader, but he went to the Navy in December, and our secretary, Beth Brown, became our presiding officer. We were just a little slow in getting organized, but before the year was over we had more than the usual class solidarity, and we carried on such traditions as Flunk Day, Freshman Walk, and Senior Sneak Day without a hitch. Two of our number, Harold Bowen and James Mracek, were in uniform before the year was over, and could not be with us for the graduation exercises on Easter Sunday. Howie Stein, Bill Welsh, Harold Deck, and Tom Tear are soon to join the forces of war. Mary Moats graduated in mid-year and immediately became a school teacher, Edith Harrod received an appointment to finish the year for Eureka High School just after she graduated, while Beth Brown had her hands more than full the last two terms carrying on her classwork and teaching at Congerville. Ruth VanAlsburg, Frances Felter, and Jeane Crawford are scheduled to become business women in Chicago. Betty Jane Lingenfelter is to be a hospital instructor. Marriages have come to our class in more than the usual number. Bob Riggle and Harold Bowen went off the eligible list even before the senior year, Harold Deck and Mary Helen tied the knot this spring, and several more of us have rather definite plans. We intended to give a Senior play but every time Edith and Jeane got together to write it-it was more play than play. If it were finished, the action would have been in an eleemosynary institute fbug house to youj. Senior meetings at the Lambda Chi House were lots of fun too-more said than done but social gatherings are nice too. We managed to wiggle our way into the ranks of the alumni about two hours before we graduated. How to dispense with the ivy ceremony this year because of the Easter Sunday prelude of the flood. We may have been small in number but we'll be mighty in force felt round the world. 'lr 'A' 'A' ir 'lr 'A' ..15...
