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 —

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

Cunian, Seaman, Dcndlcr. Boslcy PREP OFFICHRS SffllOfi PfifPflMORy CLASS ITH spring in the air these fine days, we senior preps realize more and more that our days here at Dickinson are numbered, and it is with sorrow that we think of leaving our pleasant haunts, to pursue our studies elsewhere. Dickinson will be losing many solid fixtures with the passing of the class, and probably the most solid of all these fixtures is Suzy Boslcy. Suzy has spent the past four years here at Dickinson, and the place just won ' t seem the same without her. We preps feel mighty proud indeed of the record our classmates have made here this year, and our pride is doubly justified, when it is noted that many of our achievements were made in direct competition with the Junior College old- sters. Take athletics for example. In football, the preps had more than their share of men on the gridiron, doing and dying for dear old Dickinson. Stromak. Terishinski, Horvath, Hall, and Samuclson carried the mail down the field, while Nixon, Garland, Schaper. Miller. Volack. Brencic. Hopkins. Johnson, and Padgett ripped open those gapping holes in the opposing lines for their teammates to run through. Basketball season rolled around and the preps took that in stride, too. copping two of the five first team berths and two of the second team positions. Unfortunately. Dickinson didn ' t have a baseball team, but if they had. we preps would have been in there again, battin ' and throwin ' them for all our worth. Terishinski. of our class, threatens to break into the big leagues some day, and we think that he has the stuff to do it. But athletics was not the only phase here at Dickinson that the preps came to the fore in, for we were represented in just about every activity on the campus. 30
