Schultz. l.osch. Lcutner. Grtfrif FRESHMAN OFFICERS SEPTEMBER 18, 1939 is a momentous date in the history of Dickinson Junior College. It is a date destined to be perpetuated in the annals of edu- cation forever, for it marks the day when we, as students of the Freshman class, began our adventures into the realms of higher learning. The rest of the school also began its academic year on this date. No doubt the faculty had many misgivings as they watched the great horde of neophytes descend upon the campus, for we were the largest class ever to enter the portals of Dickinson, and the task of permeating our craniums with knowledge was not lessened by the increased enrollment. Soon after school had gotten under way the Sophomore class graciously consented to give us an intensive program of instruction, endeavoring to assist the faculty in initiating us into the peculiarities of college life. The superiority complex of the upperclassmen received something of a setback at the Chestnut party, however, when our stalwart sons proved in tug-of-war, baseball, and volleyball that the youth, brawn, and brains of the F-reshmen were more than a match for the aging Sophomores. The success of this intensive training by both the faculty and the Sopho- mores is apparent. Not only did we participate in all major sports, but we were also well represented in the various clubs, fraternities, and social activities. At a meeting in November we held an election of officers, with Charles Greene being chosen president; Doris Losch, vice-president; Alice Leutner, sec- retary; and William Shultz, treasurer. Later we selected Professor Gillette as class adviser. — 28

In the classroom, we again upheld the honor of our class, coming through scholastic encounters with flying colors. Many of our classmates, with the fiery ambition of the true student, zealously toiled over their studies like busy little bees, working their heads to the bone so that they might enjoy the fruits of labor by being on the Dean ' s List next year. (A few of our misguided class- mates have also reaped their harvest of wild oats and succeeded in getting on the Dean ' s List — his other list!) And now after a hectic nine months of labor, the faculty has accomplished the impossible. They have succeeded (apparently) in impressing at least sixty per cent of their efflugent and ostentatiously effervescent lectures upon the ashen tissues of our brains; and thus equipped, we are looking forward to taking the place of the departing Sophomore class as the omniscient and dignified leaders of the school, and as friends and advisers of next year ' s Freshman class. - « - H — 29 —
