7265 When the Senior Class of '43 entered Grove City College in l939, there were 294 men faces on the campus. Now, as the class is about to be graduated, there are approx- imately l5O members, of which a large number will probably be leaving for some branch of the service before graduation. Under the very able leadership of its Pres- ident, Vin La Barbera, who is the first class president to hold his office for four con- secutive years, the Class of '43 inaugurated the idea ot sponsoring a dance its Freshman year and it has since become a tradition for every Freshman Class to sponsor some sort of a social event. During its Sophomore year, the class lost many of its members who were taking the Two-Year Secretarial Course, including the class Secretary, La Vera Swanson. lt also established a precedent for Sophomore class- es by giving a dance on Valentine's Day. Then came the Junior year, in which the Editor of the Ouija, Bud Thomas, and Busi- ness Manager, Bill Miller, although handi- capped by wartime conditions, established a record in Ouija returns, which gave all 'Glam succeeding classes a goal for which to strive. Jean lddings represented the class on May Day as Junior May Queen. Climaxing the Junior year was the Prom for which the class secured Bunny Berrigan's Orchestra, This, the Senior year for the Class of '43, has been most outstanding. The Student Council has been under the able leadership of Bill Miller, as President, Jean lddings, Doris Hoch, Pat McGinley, Jean Barnes, Bob Hutchison, Bill Waddell, and Dave Kelter, who was elected to till a vacancy left by Jim Batey, who graduated at semesters. Many members ot the Class of '43 have been granted Special Merit Awards by the Scroll and Key, honorary scholastic society, and several in the class have been named to represent the class in Who's Who in Ameri- can Colleges and Universities. The decrease in the number of students in this class is due, largely, to the war, and enlistments in the armed forces this year. The graduating group will include persons receiving the AB. Degree, the B.S. Degree, the B.S. and C. Degree, and the Bachelor of Music Degree.
