Salute OFFICERS President Jean Widdowson Vice President Betty Menk Secretary Phyllis Butler Treasurer Jean Metzger In 1940 a group of entering students began their college careers, little realizing the numer- ous changes that were to confront them before commencement. The joking, laughing, irrespon- sible and irrepressible group of that year is scarcely recognizable in the year 1944. On a day well-remembered, war came to Indiana sum- moning the men of the class to a life far removed from carefree college days. Bidding farewell to their beloved Alma Mater, to classmates, and to teachers, they turned to the grim task ahead with the same enthusiasm they had shown to less serious work.

to the Seniors Long will be remembered the happy days that came before — the class parties and banquets. Saturday night dances, football games, the varied cultural life programs, and the other activities that make well-rounded col- lege days. Each year brought something new and different.

As sophomores, with the privilege of dictating to incoming freshmen, this active group began to take responsibilities and share in the enthusiasm of the college: in the junior year, these students began serious preparation for the much-dreaded student teaching. After four years of hurrying to classes between jaunts to the Dell, and forever sharing fun and frolic with the gang, seniors suddenly realized that all of these experiences would soon be memories. Included in the most treasured ones will be the senior banquet. Baccalaureate, and finally the unforgettable day of Com- mencement. 21
