LOUIS HALLOCK Beginning with a class of one hun- dred and seventy some odd members in the fall of 1935, the class of '39 has diminished in size over a span of four years until now it numbers only about titty. But, as has often been said, quality, not quantity, is the im- portant factor; and of the former, we modestly admit, the class of '39 has plenty. As Freshmen, the class of '39 went through the usual initiation required of all yearlings and enjoyed it as much as the Freshman class of any other year. Homecoming was par- ticularly memorable in this regard. Several members of the class already began in that year to leave a lasting mark on activities on the Hill, athlet- ically, dramatically, argumentative- ly and in numerous other ways. In no time at all the first year was over, and we became sophs. This meant more elections and more so- ciety rivalry for coveted class offices. Herb Schetfler was the winner to the satisfaction of all. The class began a precedent which has now lasted three years by staging a Sophomore Cotillion under the able direction of Earl Brown and class adviser, Protes- sor J. P. Smith. Athletically speaking, too, the class distinguished itself with such budding luminaries as Scheffler, Fletcher, Hartong, Lambert, Mc- Ward, Ballard, Zupsich, Corrigan, Kalteux, Timke, Bluthardt and Lorenz bringing honors to |. C. on the foot- ball, basketball and baseball teams. Norton Foster was a co-editor of the Rig that year, the first with the year- book on the activity fee. As Juniors, the class named Earl Brown prexy the first semester and Gail McWard the second. The Prom, held December |6, was, under the able direction of Harry Story, a com- plete success, financial and other- wise. Doris Scheffler dazzled the dancers as Prom Queen. All too soon we were seniors. As usual, elections were in order, and Jack Hartong and Frank Kalteux were elected to the office of Presi- dent. Seniors McWard, Hartong, Scott, Kalteux, Lambert, and Zupsich led |.C.'s athletic teams this year. Bob Fay and Julian Rammelkamp edited the Rambler with Clarence Evans as business manager. Edward Johnston business managed the Rig for a second successive year. Bob Fay and Ed Johnston covered them- selves with glory by capturing the Faculty Inter-Society Debate trophy for the fourth consecutive year. Ed Bluthardt was named head of the Senior Ball, last class function for the class of '39. And now, four short years have passed away, leaving the members of the class of '39 on the threshold of life on their own. To quote from another Rig, here the class of '39 has played and laughed, and matured, | ...and, incidentally, studied. ‘Now as they leave this place, they find that its power has deeply aftected every one of them.’
