In fact, the Freshman class had a large representation in practically e erv extra- curricular acti it . We seemed to ha e an unusualh- large number of Dramats among our members who took leading roles in all of our major productions. The Dart and Union staffs had their share of our literary talent. The arious musical organizations, clubs, and fraternities also boasted a large attendance from our class. Now. after a ear in which to experiment and learn, we feel that we ha e become oriented to the customs of the school and are eagedy awaiting another year at Dickinson yhen vye may put on the dignified robes of the Sophomore Class.

FRESHMAN OFFICERS Winkin i)U, Fnnnis, A men, Guest FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Tuesday, September 17, 1940, was a red-letter day in the li es of some one hundred fortv-six expectant students, for it marked the beginning of our careers at Dickinson Junior College. We were the largest class e er to enter Dickinson and presented quite a prob- lem to our distinguished upperclassmen. After an amazingly short period of joyous freedom, tlie decided to acquaint us with the traditions of tiie school and tiiere followed a hectic scries of embarrassing moments for us unsuspecting Freshmen. IIowcNcr, we quickh rose above the humility of it all and soon began to dis- tinguish ourselves individually and as a class. December lOth found us winners of a Sing-Song Contest. This was accom- plished largelv tlirough the cfTorts of Chntou Stebbins who contributed a class song and a school song. Next there was tlic annual Spelling Bee, won by I an Dunklc, also a Freshman. We soon realized the nccessit for organizing and electing our class officers. Wilkie seemed to be tlic all-time fa oritc and if defeated at Washington, was completely !ctorious at Dickinson in the person of William Wilkinson. Betty Ann Francis was elected ' ice-President; llutli Guest, Secretary; and James Ames, ' i ' reasurer. Not onlv did we attain high honors scholastically, but also came through ath- letic contests with special recognition. Many of the football squad were taken from our ranks and we cannot pass o er basketball without mentioning such heroes as Joe Gariand and Jack Smith. Twenly-eiiiht

W ' c seemed to be a very ersatile group and united, we constituted an acti e and progressi e Senior Class. With no false modesty, we can claim consid- erable credit for our participation in all phases of the school ' s acti ities — both scholastic and athletic. Our officers this year were: Ray Wilson, president; Paul Smith, vice-president; Peg Fowler, secretary; and Mort Rauff, treasurer. They have served us loyally and with gratitude we thank tliem. As Seniors, we entered the Sem last Fall with a feeling of increased responsi- bility and dignit -. We came into a new being of energy and the desire to work and give ourseKes higher learning. We are proud to have had in our class so man - well-known persons. Rauff, Morocco, Peterson, and Smith added to our prestige with their contributions to the football team, Schneider will long be remembered at Dickinson for his superb basketball. And our members who have been outstanding in the dramatic produc- tions of the vear are too numerous to mention. Now that we arc lca ing. we look back upon our da s with complete satisfac- tion. We have only to regret that we did not make more of the time and oppor- tunities which we ha e been offered here. We will always cherish the memories of happiness and good fellowship we have enjoyed inside the halls of Dickinson. Thirty
