The class of ' 42 might well be likened to a marching band with Mr. Wayne Sherrard directing, for he has done a fine job of leading the class through the final measure of their college career. Yes, from the mild pianissimo of the freshman days to the full crescendo of graduation, this band has been directed by the help of both Mr. C. M. Hammerlund and Mr. Sherrard. Mr. Hammerlund . . . active . . . energetic . . . en- couraging; Mr. Sherrard . . . alert . . . sensible . . . guiding. With their help the class sponsored many dances, closed parties, skip day, faculty take-off, and a great many other activities. College days are over for the class of ' 42. No more philos- ophy papers ... no more assemblies Wednesday 4th hour ... no more Friday afternoon movies ... no more critic teacher ' s meetings ... no more classes to cut ... no more . . . There they go . . . marching out to conquer . . . ready for anything, yet never knowing what lies ahead. 1942 . . . your CLASS! Prexy Gerfen can show the why and how to do it in and out of class. Howmiller Twins enjoy a few spare moments at noon hour. Seniors Whipple, McElwain, and Clark relax between dances at Co-op Party. Fred Stephenson of ' 39 makes a return engagement to favor the rug- cutters at an All-School Party on an otherwise uneventful weekend. Dignified seniors let loose with great gusto and cooperation in group sing. Believe me this is not posed; Del can really sing.

Time Marches On And So Do The Graduating SEMORS Yes, whether it be out to conquer new worlds in the teaching profession or in the rank and file of an army line, the class of ' 42 is marching. Before it passes from our sight, however, let us first have it march in review . . . A kaleidoscopic lens of the class through the years brings into view . . . green freshies learning to jive at nicky dances . . . blue sophomores trying to take up an acre of dance floor at the cotillion . . . white- frosted juniors freezing fingers while peddling Christ- mas trees to get out of the red . . . black-gowned seniors standing in the amphitheater with a diploma in one hand and a draft card in the other . . . Yes, the class of ' 42 is marching, but as it goes forward, it leaves behind the memory of students who have proved through four years of service to be deserving of recognition as campus leaders. This is the fourth appearance of the volume ' Who ' s Who in the Class of ' 42. To the classes of ' 43, ' 44, ' 45, ' 46, etc., etc., we present . . .

U ' ,, Officiating for the three-year-olds are Dan tary-treasurer. The tables may be clear now, Austin, vice-president; Mr. Orr, sponsor; Dane but the times have been many when the busi- Walker, president; and Eileen Weber, secre- ness was heavy in preparation of dances. Jack and Jiff Near Journey ' s End in the JUMOR CLASS Lively and energetic . . . they permeate the campus . . . they ' re innumerable as mosquitoes in the Everglades ... as up-to-the-minute as Gin Rummy . . . They hang together too . . . you see them in two ' s at Four Corners ... in three ' s in the information office bantering about the advisability of this or that ... in four ' s at the Co-op dawdling over chocolate milk or Seven-ups (now that cokes are af a premium) ... in armies at all the dances . . . they ' re apt to look an omnipotent senior in the eye and say, instead of I ' m as good as you are, You ' re as good as I am! . . . Advisory Board of Weber, Johnson, Camp- bell, Miller, Walker, Danforth, Turner, Young, Austin, Farner, Norton, Leigh, Eyer, DePew, and Orr are the working parts of the class. Their attitude is not as shallow as con- ceit . . . rather it ' s a self-confidence from knowing how to go about things . . . for the juniors take themselves and the school affairs seriously . . . Look at any of the bulletin boards at Four Corners, in the V ' idetfe, or in any Index for the last three years and you ' ll see the names or pic- tures of such people as DANE WALKER, president of the class; DAN AUSTIN, vice- president; or EILEEN WEBER, secretary- treasurer . . . Others are . . . GLENN JOHNSON, prexy of U. Club; BILL TUR- NER, gavel-rapper of the N Club; WEN- DELL ANDERSON, prexy of the Business Ed. Club; HARVEY AHRING, prexy of Alpha Tau Alpha . . . One of the biggest honors goes to BETTY VON ALLMEN, elected 1941 Home-coming queen . . . and to MARIAN DE PEW, maid of honor . . . Down McCormick way there ' s SAM CHI- CAS, all-conference tackle and baseball catcher, CECIL HOSPELHORN, grappler and star guard, VANITTA ELLEDGE, chair- man of Junior P.Ed, majors, DOROTHY GRANNEMAN, outstanding on the basket- ball floor, BUD DE BARR, captain of the golf team, ETHEL TRILLING, of Orchesis . . . RUSS STEELE, ALMA UPHOFF, and JOHN BLATNIK, via the Vidette and the Index, keep students informed as to what the P.Ed, people are doing . . . LOIS EYE R is an active Gamma Phi-er, and EDWARD MILLER manages the baseball team . . .
