Senior C uiss Uf fleets GRADUATING in a war-year was rather an unexpected thing for the seniors of the class of 1943. When most of us star ted as freshmen, we had no idea that our country would be at war by the time we were ready to graduate. Per- haps that is one reason why we are torn both ways when we think of Madi.son — we hate to leave, and yet we are anxious to get out in the world and begin doing our share to help win the war. In spite of everything, the seniors had a very full year, under the leadership of a fine set of officers. Likable and dependable, Louise Vaughn made a good president, and the others assisted her and worked like Trojans. They were largely responsible for class day, on which we donned our caps and gowns for the first time and felt very im- portant and just a little self-conscious as everyone stood u[3 for us in chapel. So. with tears and hopes we leave Madi- son. Love it as we have! Left to Right: Dorothy Glover, Treasurer; Li juise Vaughn. President; Cornelia Riley, X ' ice-l ' resident ; Dorothy HoUins, Reporter; Lillian Coyner, Sergeant-at-Arms ; Mary Anna .Sherman. .Secretary ; Katharine Robertson, Business Manager

MADISON COLLEGE STAFF IN SERVICE DORIS HEATWOLE Many of us were surprised not to see Miss Heatwoie ' s fami- liar face in Dr. Duke ' s office this year. She is now in Africa, and we know that she is repre- senting Madison to the very best of her ability. Mr. Jolmsou is the one we al- ways called for when the lamp wouldn ' t work or the Hyhts went off, and he seems to be still fix- ing electrical equipment — only now it ' s for the Navy. MELVIN A. PITTMAX Dr. Pittman ave us all a thrill when he came back this fall in all his braid. He finally wound up in the Navy after all the conipHcations, and a snappy Senior Lieutenant he makes, too! (II.EXX CURTIS SMITH Dr. Smith stayed with us such a short time that it was hard to have liim leave. He went over with a bang in Texas, though, and now is a Lieiuenant {j. g. ) and proud of it. AR(;US J. TRESIDDER Public sj)eakitig will never be the same! At least, not until Dr. Tresidder comes back to help out with his sharp sarcasm and quick wit. He is also a Lieutenant (j. g.) in the Xavy. T. EDGAR ANDERSON Mr. Anderson is the nearest of all of our staff in service, beinj; stationed just outside of Wash- ington. He is attached to the Adjutant (jenerals School, but says it has not made him forget us here at Madison yet. LELAND SCHUBERT Dr. Schubert, beloved of all English majors and big-brother of the senior class, is now in Iowa, of all places! He ' s another of our contributions to the Navy, and is Lieutenant (j. g.) These two professors left too late for us to get pictures of them in luiifumi for this year ' s book.
