 Senior Class The Class of '43 goes out into the world with at least the immediate future planned for them. Having struggled through four years of higher education, this year's crop of seniors have their applications for positions postponed for the duration, as questionnaires and general classifications substitute. At first the gentlemen of F. U. seemed to be the only ones involved, choosing or being chosen by the Army, Navy or Marines. Now that Johnny has gone marching off, however, Mary is eyeing trim uniforms of auxiliary service or contemplating life on the farm or in the factory. In spite of the news from over the pond, life kept going on both campuses. Occasionally the order was close ranks to fill gaps left by service-bound fellows, but still came the political campaigning of election days, routine class existence painfully enlivened by the inevitable parallels, senior stunt introducing Dreaming,” senior cooperation day with tired feet and greater understanding of The customer is always right,” social functions and weekends followed by Mondays. This last year for the Class of '43 saw the undreamed-of transformation of Montague into a girls' dorm and McGee into barracks for glider pilots. The Class of '43 may have done a lot of yelling and complaining, but don’t think they have not enjoyed themselves. They have stuck together through four years of change and now, at the end of the beginning, no one is going to stop to worry about their future. 22
