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 . . .

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.

Refreshments are in order for these thirsty Juniors longing for the fizz of former I.S.N.U. student, but still familiar on campus. Many other class a coke to tickle their probosis. Rusty Harris and Gerry McCain, the latter a members returned this year to capitalize on a year full of activities. DICK RICHARDS wrote and directed the blackfriar show this year, What ' s the Use? . . . you remember it . . . TOM RICHARD- SON is drum major . . . and BILL BENEDICT plays the organ for assembly . . . Editor of this year ' s Index is a member of the class ... JIM FINLEY . . . also on the Student Council ... as are BUNNY DANFORTH, MARGE BITTING, DEE NORTON, and GLENN JOHN- SON . . . Business manage r of the Index, WENDELL ANDERSON, is a star debater . . . Women debaters are HELEN JOHNSON and MARIAN DE PEW . . . Fell Hall honor residents were MARY KAY HERRMANN and JANE HEWITT . . . Along the theatrical line we have GLO ROSE MITCHELL, RALPH UNSICKER, and RAY BESSMER . . . Higher-ups in Women ' s League include the names of BARBARA ORR, JEAN ALBEE, MARY KAY HERRMANN, and BETTY VON ALLMEN . . . The person responsible for guiding the good ship, Junior Class, almost to the commencement harbor is MR. ORR . . . He ' s enthus- iastic about the cooperation . . . An important thing about the junior class besides the people in it are the things they do . . . You can recall the All-School Dance on February 28th with its novel theme of records for decorations. Any- one would have to admit that this class can boast of some truly clever people who do things in a different way . . . Then there was the never-to-be-forgotten Junior-Senior prom . . . another of the traditional festivities that was successfully carried out . . . Moonlight and music, billowing formal skirts and orchids, there ' s nothing like a prom . . . Being of draft age or enlistment age, a lot of the boys won ' t be back next year . . . but you can predict that those who do come back next year will carry on as enthusiastically as the Jack Arm- strong and the Hudson Hi football team . . . Yes . . . there ' s only one more year of college for the Jack ' s and Jill ' s in the Junior class, and they ' re looking to the future as a grand finale to college days . . . Juniors get together. Keltner, Eyer, Richardson, VonAllmen, and Ward enjoy a social game of cards with no money on the table. The eyes have it.
