Senior Saga (Continued) Our junior year welcomed divers sets of twins, one set which was taken from our midst in February, unfortunately for our athletic program and the morale of the female section. This was a bustling and jocund year; we were finally upperclassmen, although our actions didn't verify the fact. Being musically inclined, several ensembles were organized and re-organized. The King's Messengers saw another complete and successful season while some kind of a girls' octet flitted in and out (mostly out) of the picture, rendering some famous Swedish singer months of unrest in her grave. Whatever became of the Jenny Linds? And the same goes for the Christianaircs. But now to a pleasant subject. Do you remember the way we slaved on our J.S. ? We scampered from one hotel to another about reservations, cancellations, and the like. (G-r-r-r-r Leamington!) Nevertheless, we attained our goal with the delicious menu, that memorable Rigolette” by the Charioteers.” and our snappy dinner speeches. In spite of the trembling and stuffed trio, those unmanageable peas that constantly rolled down the boys' dinner jackets, and that one drumstick that flew off a certain plate, we left the Radisson Gold Room with jubilant hearts. Maybe we didn't admit it, but we were rather proud of our J.S., mainly because of the embarrassing sum we each put forth, five dollars! Some of the juniors, as the preceding year, practically monopolized the Quiver with results known to most, and the Antler staff was chosen. We drove those poor seniors almost mad with our ingenious suggestions, inattention during the meetings we did attend, and the munching of checrios and other foods. Luckily our promptings were stifled and the 1944 Antler was a success. It seemed almost queer registering in September, a strictly senior curriculum and not feeling like a senior. We were looking forward to an abundant senior year, but down in a tiny corner of our hearts there was a longing for those carefree sophomore days. Then, as if a prelude to our senior year, September 19 brought with it that glorious revival that changed our lives greatly. A fervent prayer of thanks goes up to our Savior whenever we recall that chapel setting. How can we forget those tear-streaked faces of those next to us as we fell on our knees, crying to Christ for forgiveness. What joy filled our souls as many surrendered their hearts for the first time and others re-dedicated themselves for a fuller service. Those small but intimate prayer meetings and the singing of choruses took the place of the regular school schedule. The Holy Spirit was apparent and real. We can still see those red, swollen eyes, flushed cheeks, and glowing faces, as old quarrels and petty prejudices were smoothed out among the kids. Some even forgot their usual pangs of hunger around noon. We were so filled with the joy of our Lord, there wasn't room for anything else. The year that lay before us seemed much brighter now, thanks to the revival and the new spirit that hovered over M. A. The Mixer drew nigh and now it was our turn to plan the annual event. We used a circus theme with Chet as master of ceremonies in some unique red plaid breeches, top (Continued on Page 42) Thirteen
