Here they areg they have completed the first year. Staff and students have weathered it through and have come out with flying colors. It was a good year, and they looked forward to telling others about their suc- cessful year in America's pioneering university. CSO far as we know, those youngsters in the foreground are not children of G. I. students.J The building in the background is still an attractive part of the campus, serving the past few years as teachers' quarters.

The student body, too, had to have its firsts, and here they are. They were not blessed with the assurance the present day students have that this plan of education could fit their needs. They had no old grads to verify the idea that such an educational program could train for success. The first students had to have the pioneering spirit in abundance to be instru- mental in the testing of this new idea. We salute themg we owe them much.

Ahlf Those were the days when the gay blades and the shy young swains made conversation with discreet propriety to the young ladies of the campus on pleasant Sunday afternoons. The social hour is the feature picture here. The setting is in front of the old fthen newb White Build- ing. It is rumored that the sighs and the 4'eyes of those social hours were as fatal as the smiles and the wiles of the modern, every-day con- tacts. School statistics have shown that many a heart was softened and many a match was made during the popular Sunday afternoon social hour.
