Class of 1943 After a three months' stay in the harbor Vacation, our good ship, The Class of '43, lifted anchor on September 5, l939, and set sail on a four-year journey to Gradua- tion. Many hardships were en- countered in the first year of our trip but the crew stood steadfastly against all odds and eventually were successful in bringing the year to a happy conclusion. We were out to sea but a few hours when our year of servitude to the upper-classmen was im- pressed upon us land our posteri- orsl ll For approximately a week, we received rather harsh treatment but no lives were lost uuring this expected initiation. After the above mentioned paddling, the crew was herded into the ship's auditorium where the officers were elected. After an almost photo-finish race, the combination Red and Gold were chosen as the ship's sail- ing colors. As the year progressed, we Frosh became active in quite a number of the school activities. On March l3th we presented an as- sembly program in which we enter- tained the students in our best mu- sical fashion. We sponsored two dances this year. The first was held March Zl st. It was more or less a build-up for the second Freshman dance on April 26th. These were quite suc- cessful, both from the monetary and entertainment standpoints. For our benefit, we held an old- fashioned party on April 29th. Leaving but a skeleton crew to keep our ship on its course, everyone else attended the party. Dancing, games, and imprompter entertainment were the main features of the evening. Of course, a party isn't a success unless food is served so-my maties, grub was given to everyone. This night proved to be another event which received special recognition in the log of our trip. We have received so much coop- eration from the faculty and upper- classmen in all our activities that we are encouraged to face the fu- ture three year lor morel with a little more confidence than we had at the beginning of our Freshman year. Since we visualize a bright future pushing its way over the hori- zon, just keep your eyes on the Red and Gold as the The Class of '43 forges with full steam ahead.
