SENIORS 1944 President . . ., Willard St. John Vice-President .... Irma Greer Secretary .... Janice Johnson Treasurer . Deloris Tompkins A.S.C.C. Representative . Ruth Suggs Reporter . Wilma Jean Penland The class of 1944 has seen its college hurdle many obstacles and emerge with its standards high. They have worked with a new president for further augmentation of the institution. They have seen the campus dotted with the khaki uniforms of Army Air students and have shared class rooms and professors for the instruction of Cadet Nurses. They have witnessed the passing of football and drinking cokes at Scruggs as part of campus life,- but have substituted Red Cross work, more intensive intra-mural sports, and a new candy store for those things. At the end of their four years they are graduating with the knowledge that their life at Memphis State has prepared them for the manifold problems they must meet. They are leaving MSC to enter a world that looks anxiously toward the day of peace and to the boundless opportunities that day will present to this class which is prepared to take them in hand. wwm m 14
