First, a word to those who because they are members of one of the branches of our Armed Forces have not been with us this year, let nie bring assurance that we have thought of you often and are proud of the splendid reports that come to us from time to time. 1 hope your associations and experiences at Dickinson have been helpful to you in the sacrifices )ou have been called upon to make. And second, to those of you who have been here this year and enabled Dickinson to carry on in spite of wartime conditions, we are no less grateful. Changes at W illiamsport-Dickinson due to wartime conditions are evident everywhere one turns on the campus. Cadets in formation, going to classes and to the mess halls to the tune of The Army Air Corps ; civilian students living in dormitories off the campus, or putting it another way, the extension of the campus to include Fourth and Franklin Streets; the large number of young women as compared with the number of men in cliapel and at the various college gatherings; re- duced student activities: tlie many new members of the faculty: reports from Dickinsonians in the various Armed Services in all parts of the world- these and other things are evidences of war- time changes. In spite of these changes, there have been many satisfactions during the year; the splendid co- operation that we have had. the feeling that the conditions mentioned above are temporary and are not common to Dickinson alone but are experinced on college campuses throughout America, the prominent place given to education in the war |)rogram which has shown the importance of col- lege training, and the fact that we have been able to carry on at all since there have been so main appeals to young people to participate activeh in the war effort. It is a matter of personal ])leasure to me to know that The Dart is being published, and I want to congratulate and thank all who are making every effort to accomplish this. While we are not quite so busy w ith regular j school acti ities. we have a little more time for ' • looking into the future and for planning. In I 1948, Williamsport-Dickinson will celebrate its One Hundredth Anniversarv. We hope by that time peace will ha e been restored, and we shall be able to celebrate by having a re- union of those who are here with others who will have returned from the various parts of the world. What a reunion that ought to be! I hope the Classes of 1944 may be fully rep- resented at that time. Let me thank all of the members of }our splendid classes for the way in which you have caught the spirit of Dickinson and have made the best of what the Junior College has been able to offer under wartime conditions. Always sincerely yours. President. 11 The FcRuUy John W. Long President John G. ( ORNWELL, Jr.. Dean (On Leave) C.liemis ry J. Milton Skeath. Acting Dean ....

All of these, and main more, have come true. We started the year with Freshman Week and the Sopho- mores showing us that they were really our superiors. Who can ever forget Indian feathers, air-raids, how ties, and Mack stockings? Then came the Chestnut Hunt. (Costume Ball and Pinni. We began to say good-bye to many oi our boys lea iiig for the Armed Forces. Then, appropriately in a war year, came the invasion and occupation of our campus by the Army Air Cor])s. This caused a flurry of moving, new living (juar- ters, night classes, and a shortened term. Back we came in September 43 and this time the lulcs lor Freshman Week were made by us and obeyed by tiic freshmen. We followed this by the animal Chestnut Hunt at Mountain Beach, the Christmas pageant, the Greater Dick- inson l an(|ii( ' l, and ( ' am|)Us Thunder lealuriiig our own goldfish-swallower. Though we are leaving D-son, the memory of our happy days here will always stay with us. 16 Martha Jane Agett Medical Secretarial Sunbury Student Christian Association 1; Secretary of Girls ' Student Council 2; Dart Staff 2. smiles designated wealth, she leoiild he ii millionaire.

June Carson is now a pre-medical student at Pennsylvania State College in Stale College, Pennsylvania. Betty Laidacker is employed by the Turbotville National Bank in Turbotville, Pennsylvania. Elwood Zimmerman continues his studies at Western Maryland College in Westminster, Maryland.

The first few days were filled with a blur of names and faces and all of us managed to lose our way at least once and wander up the wrong stairway, into Army territory. Things soon began to settle down, until the event of Freshman Week when we all plowed through four days of pouring rain and torture admin- istered by the S(i|)h()niore Tribunal. W ho will ever forget Jane Dougherty and Jane Wilson, blind-folded on the g)m Hoor. feeding each other mo- lasses bread? Another highlight of our year w ' as the Greater Dickinson Banquet in February. We especially remember the lustv singing of Mairzy Doats. Although the war has depleted the number of males in our class, we have made many friends with the cadets who have been here with us. We have all had a very full year and hope we may return in the fall to complete our studies and renew old acquaintances. First Row, Left to Right — McAllister. Timherman. Collins. Minker.

Working under many liandicaps, the staff has endeavored to bring to vou a resume of life at Dickinson. Special commendation should be given to Marguerite Desaul- niers for the effective advertising campaign she directed, aiul to Alice E. Eastlake for her help as faculty adviser. Even though the student body was considerably smaller than previous years it was not difficult to find ([uality, talent, and origi- nality when the staff was organizeil. This year was the first in the history of the school that the staff was composed entirely of girls. Now it is more important than ever that activities be made per- manent since so many of our fellow students are in the services. i ' .rs: Ess ST wv First How, Left tci Ilight — Corliett, Desjuiltiiers, Sykes.

Music Oriianizations Sextet The Gill ' s Sextet, which was organized this year, has, under the able direction of Miss Florence Dewey, achieved recognition both in school and throughout the city. The purpose of the sextet is to accompany Dr. Long when he appears as a guest speaker and to take the place of the chapel choir. The sextet is composed of the following boarding girls: Alice Walker, Shirley Ortman, Betty Collins, Barbara King, Blanche Beck, and Shirley Minker. Vocal Ensemble This talented group of singers, under the direction of Mrs. M. Bates, has achieved recognition both in school and throughout the city. They have per- formed on numerous occasions for WRAK, Rotary and many churches in the city. They presented their annual s]3ring concert in May and very capably represented our college. Girls ' Trio The Girls Trio is a smaller musical organization of our college. Dur- ing the course of the year th ey appeared over WRAK, at the Greater Dickinson Banquet, and Business Girls ' Club.

The club has produced a variety of programs this year with the following capalilc uBicers: President SHIRLEY MiNKER Vice President Betty Newcombe Secretary Bettv Lamjacker Assistant Hktty Collins 40 Plciy Scenes The first prestMitalion came ju--l liefore the Christmas vacation in the form of a Christmas pageant, Tliough Thou Be Little, written and directed hy Professor Dickason. Then a variety show, Campus Thunder, was undertaken by the club, and was presented on March 3 to a very appreciative audience. But the climax of the year ' s work came with the production Nine Girls. This play, a mystery comedy, centered about the lives of nine college girls, was a great success. The members of the club not only had opportunity for dramatic experience, but also were trained in ligliting, make-up, and scenery painting. Because of the varied programs offered by the Dramatic Club, a great number of students were able to participate with enthusiasm. For this reason the club was one of the highlights of the year. 41 Greater Dickinson R uu|net Morse. MijikiT, Wriu ' lit. Vumlerlin. Kerr, liosscr. N w c inil e. Ilesser. Fritzili::er. Students, friends, and alumni of Dickinson Junior College gath- ered in the ballroom of the Lycoming Hotel on February 18, 1944, to attend the traditional Greater Dickinson Banquet. The banquet, happily anticipated by both alumni and students of the school, was held tills year after a one-year absence. The guest ol lionor of the evening ' s program in( hided Mayor Williamson, who ably served as toastmaster; Miss Eva Keller. Alunuii President, who presented to the Alumni Association a flag honoring those former students ol Dickinson Junior College now in the service of their country, and Dr. F. B. Harris, Chaplain of the U. S. Senate, who gave the evening ' s address. Dr. Harris stirring address, Keep- ing Our Rendezvous With Life, gave reason for his reputation as one of the wtnld ' s best speakers and maih ' a deep impression on his hearers. Much ( K ' dil lur the success of the Ban(|uet goes to Frank W. Ake, Secretary of the Ahiniiii Asxxialion.

In spite of the dampness, the frosh were well initiated into college life. Straight hair (aided by the rain), black stockings and no cos- metics gave the cadets a true picture of the modern co-ed minus modern inventions. The boys, although in minority, added to the hilarity, in their short trousers, bright signs, lipstick and rouge. All rules were enforced and those who did not comply were taken in hand by the sophomores. We will never forget Don Wil- liamson ' s speech on The Care of the Bal)y. Freshman Week will long be remembered and the freshmen are anxiously awaiting next year when it will be their turn to do the initiating. Kerr. Wri ' lit. MfCloskey. Sykes. Vamierliii.

With Uncle Sam ' s Army invading the traditional campus dormitories in Old Main, two off-campus resi- dences, hetter known as the Franklin Street and Fourth Street dorms, housed the girls. The Franklin Street dormitory housed the freshman girls, along with a few sophomores to help govern them. This house also provides the school dining-room. The majority of the girls slept in one large room which they called the barn. The Fourth Street dormitory was the home of the preparatory and sophomore girls. Many lasting friendships have been formed and memories have been stored up which we will refer to in future years with affection and pride. I - i HHMHvUMHUM UrMMH 45 Armistice Day Ci ' lcliralinn. D.

Just as your family and friends are this day proud of you, so too is Lycoming proud of another group of fledglings who have soloed, namely the men in the American Air Forces. In spite of the Axis ' head-start to war, America ' s airmen are going into action the best- trained flyers on earth. There is pride in that for every American. There is especial pride for the people of Lycoming, where thousands upon thousands of engines for training planes are made. Dependability is a Lycoming watchword.
