All in All... A Nautical Year for the SOPHOmORE CLASS Gribler is On the alert not to miss anything, especially those eggs. Mr. and Mrs. Gooding and Prexy Friese jesting at a closed party. Memorable assemblies of the year include the one in which all the sophomore candidates for president outdid each other like talkative old gents around the stove in the General Store . . . Art Friese, with his sailor campaign, hoisted himself right out of the hold of obscurity and right onto the deck of the presi- dency . . . Elected on a less spectacular ticket were Bill Gribler, another O ' Fallon boy who made good, as vice-president, and Jean Mitchell, secretary. Captain Friese ' s advisory crew included Don Blary, Glenn Bradshaw, Erwin Brauer, Bill Canning, Bert DeBarr, Emilie Dutczak, Helen Fanelli, Ben Ford, Marion Gillespie, Martha Gould, Frances Graves, Jane Graves, Alvera Hamlyn, Helen Johnson, Eileen Kirchner, Adrian Lawwill, Bob McAdam, Ruth MacHatka, Marion Miller, Ruth Ann Orr, Earl Scarbeary, Don Springer, Charles Stringer, and Smith Von Fossen . . . Coxswains in the Student Council were Glenn Bradshaw, Dorothy Catlin, Lois Jahnke, and Bob Von Bergen. Fall, ' 41, was fun . . . There was the sophomore closed party in October . . . the freshman-sophomore tug-of-war at Home- coming when sophomore men turned out ten thousand strong (or thereabouts) to lick the crop of new giant freshmen . . . and Peggy Wesson, shining for the class as one of the attendants for the Homecoming queen. Basketball . . . and Vance Hamann, Bob Matone, Bert Naf- zigger, and Jerry Frieburg did more than raise the temperature of the bench . . . John Moreiko, Walter Laitas, and Kenneth Hun- 26

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.

We didn ' t need Art so much as the Navy did, at least that ' s what the Navy thought, so we lost him. Bill took over Art ' s size tens and did much for the class the second semester . . . The all-school party in February was a whoppin ' big success; the mates and their dates had fun dancing themselves seasick to Chuck Bischoff ' s tunes . . . The closed party in March brought everybody back for more fun . . . the rest of the school was clamoring at the door . . .
