SENIOR OFFICERS.. Marquis, Stewart, Schneider Rising to the strains of the Alma Mater, keeping check on the number of chapel cuts which they have had, and studying for final exams at the College Inn are now vivid memories of the Class of ‘43. Every member of the senior class will remember the friendships which he has made in these last four years. Each friendship will be locked in a heart and the key thrown into the old well by Chapman Hall. Entering Mount as green freshmen in the year 1939, we watched Hitler in September of the same year overrun half of Europe. Then as sophomores, we took part in panel discussions, forums, and debates on the subject of the pos- sibilities of America’s being drawn into the war. As elite juniors, college students, and American citizens, we were as- tonished to find the United States attacked by a sly and uncanny enemy with whom we now had to return blow for blow, just as we had done in college boxing tournaments. Our class said goodbye to many classmates who offered their services in the armed forces of our country. ‘Never say die’ was typical of our class spirit. The few who remained kept up the morale of the group. Cont'd.
