Class officers in the junior year, not to mention Kate again, were vice-president Lou Sheldon and secretary Frances Kru- Vand. The first two, reelected in their senior year, plus new secretary Al Gruder went on to plan a senior prom to top their junior prom. Class night stood out mainly because it did not harp on the well-known idiosyncrasies of faculty members, a cause celebre with other c1ass nights. Chalk up another pioneering first. Due chiefly to the efforts of Forty-oners, Student Council! headed by Forty-oners John Yengo and Fran Kruvand, passed a resolution recommending service awards for extracurricular activity, presented at graduation to the most active seniors. Now it is HAve Atque Vale tEnglish translationeGet to hell outa' herel. Naturally, as Long Islanders, we of Forty- one expect lowerclassmen to better our efforts for a greater Long Island University. But frankly, we don't see how they can do it . There is one achievement of the Forty-oners that no succeeding class will ever be ab1e to top. In the opinion of everyone present, in- cluding the faculty and the checkroom at- tendant at the Keystone Room of the Hotel Pennsylvania, the 1941 Senior Prom was unanimously voted Utops in hops. The room was beautiful and exactly the right size. The meal, including turkey and all the fixings, was delicious. The nine-piece orchestra was so good even the skeptics were satisfied. One hundred and twenty-six people had a wonderful time rhumba-ing, waltzing, jitter- bugging, conga-ing and Farmer-in-the-Dell- ing. All the boys looked simply wonderfule in fact, Eddie Elkins' mother told him he looked like a gentleman; all the girls looked beautiful. Everybody enjoyed Sheldon and Gruder's kaleidoscope of four years at school. Those two worked so hard for the prom they're still in a daze. The favors, gold keys in- scribed with the university seal and the class numerals, for both boys and girls, couldn't have been more appropriate. Dave Schwartz started with a bang by winning $220 at Ben Bernie's L.1.U.ededicated program just before the prom. George Bock, by popular request, gave out with his prize-winning stories and started the crowd off on a terrific evening that wound up for most of the celebrants early the next morning. As a matter of fact, I'Lover Bock turned up at the baseball game the next afternoon wearing his tux and a derby hat. Dot Ludwig champagned at Leon and Eddie's, Ethel Shohet saw a strip-tease act for the first time in her life at the same place, Andy Borno had a $2.50 steak sandwich, Fran Kruvand, Sy Greenbaum, Sheldon, Gruder and their dates indulged in hamburgerseeand so on and on. To be trite but truthful, the night of May 2, 1941 can't help going down in Long Island University history as the mostwsupply your own adjectiveswprom ever. . v Muiaf.'f 'uuuq.ffl. -G. 7--.. . ??....tL-Vquvnkf-ug:f;-u.gy-snt..;- -s..r...-'j-...Th-ncrn-mffna r-u..r.-f-ju.;;-:-- . .;.;:-w..':f. m - . s: .. ,,
