J. C. II STUDENTS IN ENGLISH LITERATURE CLASS I The thirty-one students comprising the sophomore class of the Junior Col- lege will be long remembered as one of the most active-classes in the history of Suomi College. The influx of veterans into the college classes all over the country was also experienced at Suomi, and a large majority of the students who enrolled in the junior College Department in the Fall of l946 were veterans of World War II. 1 . I The class immediately became recognized for its ,aggressive spirit and interest in school affairs, and largely through its efforts, several new innovations were promoted. The Suomi College Players, embracing all available dramatic talent, was organized and received the enthusiastic support of this class. Vernon Cole was instrumental in the organization of this club. Extra-curricular activities were whole-heartedly entered into by members of this class. Almost one-half were members- of the Suo-mi A Ca,ppella.Choir. Norman Lund was elected president of the LSA, an organization which original- ly was named Luther League but in 1947 became affiliated with the Lutheran Student Association of colleges and universities in the 'United States. Working for a bigger and better Suomi College, eventually for a four-year Liberal Arts College, inspired members of this class to initiate a Suomi College Living Endowment Fund. Approximately sixty students of the College pledged themselves to support this movement which, it was hoped, would embrace mem- bers of the alumni and members of the Synod' Class membership: Mrs. Ida Albertson, Clayton Anderson, Thomas Asuma, Clayton Auger, Gordon Bekkala, Vernon Cole, Grace C. Ekola, Oliver Hanni- nen, Florence Hautamaki, Jack Hill, Richard Hill, Robert Hoyer, Earl Jacob- son, James Johnson, George .Kaare, Wayiie Kuusisto, George Lahikainen, Eric Laho, Robert Long, Norman Lund, Phil Luttio, Williaiii Mackie, Miriam Ma- jander, Francis Plautz, Frank Richards, Toivo Rosenberg, Edwin Takkunen, Carl Tamminen, Carl Wfaisanen, Fred Wziisaiien, Gust 'VVuorinen.
