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

Oil your Mark, Get Set, Go. . .In the FRESHfllAn CLASS It was the first day of school in the fall of ' 41 BBC (before Burr Cuts) and the crowd had gathered in the Co-op for the traditional coke and at the same time to look over the new crop of Freshmen that seemed to be wandering all over the campus with that semi- bewildered look in their eye. All of a sudden the feminine element chorused, Well, my, my! Look at the handsome man approach- ing! And look they did for in strolled a tall, dark-haired Apollo handsome enough to make even a senior sit up and take notice. From that day forward, his future was made for our handsome hero turned out to be none other than Bob Fredeen the people ' s choice for freshman president. As leader of the class, Bob has done a fine job of seeing the first year of college through to a successful finish. With the help of the other officers, the advisory board, and the sponsor, he has led the freshmen through the hardest year of school. (Or did I read some- where that the first hundred are the hardest?) Eddie Anderson, (a bit on diminutive side, but so does dynamite come in small packages) has been an excellent vice-president ... A Danville product, Lois McNamee served as secretary-treasurer and kept a close account of every penny in the bank . . . Mr. H. F. Koepke sponsored the class and gave his assistance and advice on many occasions when the freshies needed help. Realizing that every good organization must have an working advisory board behind its activities, the officers appointed nineteen other freshmen to help manage the affairs of the class. Members on this board were . . . Vincent Ambrose, Eddie Anderson, Bob Boley, Betty Canaday, Wayne Christianson, Dick Dorsey, Helen Eyer, Bob Fredeen, Dorothy Harms, Ruth Frame, Horst Krummel, Robert Lamb, Vernon D. Malon, Norma Jean Mau, Lois McNamee, Wood Overholt, Vernice Sauls, Lyman Smith, Lois Thurlow, Kay Wheeler, Lieja Viitanen, and Alice Jane Froland. Besides sponsoring all-school parties the freshman class also held some closed parties that were unique in many ways. Remember the Hayloft Swing with ginghams and over-alls and the baby mice that the boys fou nd in the bales of hay that were used to decorate the gym? Freshmen who made a name for themselves on the campus in even one year would include such names as . . . Bill Calvin from Hoopeston, active in music, took the lead in the Blackfriar show . . . Jane Caviezel member of the Student Council, busy with committee work . . . Corinne Clark, Corky to most, represents I.S.N.U. in
