' 43 L lut? . J lstoVy ' FRESHMAN In the fall of 1940 the country was sing- ing MacNamara ' s Band, cars were lining the highways, the Presidential Campaign was sweeping the country, the RAF was fighting the battle of Britain, and 871 neophytes were having a battle of filling out cards at Northeastern. No student will ever forget those first three days when cards had to be filled out, advisers met, tests taken and phys- ical examinations endured. When we look back to those days they remind us of what we are experiencing now — Selective Service examinations. However, we weathered the storm and prepared to start studies the fol- lowing week. Many of us journeyed that weekend to Freshman Camp at which many lasting friendships were acquired. None of us will forget being called out of bed at 11 o ' clock to see the movies or the chase of the upper- class in which we showed that our class was to be one of unified spirit. During our Freshman year we held two dances. The first, Freshman Frolic, was held at the Hotel Continental with music by the Bacchs. At this dance we selected Miss Lois Hayward escorted by Leland Sibley, .now Mr. and Mrs., as Northeastern Uni- versity ' s Honorary Co-ed of the Class of 1945. As the first affair of our class it proved very successful. Our second affair was the Freshman Formal held at the Belmont Country Club. This dance proved to be the biggest affair of our Freshman year and had the distinction of being the only affair run by the class which had no red ink on the books. Our class did not have too successful sports this year but we provided much needed material for the varsity teams of the future. It was during this year that Dr. Ell was inaugurated as President of the University at impressive ceremonies held at the Opera House. We also witnessed the breaking of the ground for the New Building which is the second of the proposed unit of seven. Richards Hall was also dedicated this year.

SOPHOMORE Many changes in the world took place during our Sophomore year which influenced our actions greatly. The entire student body listened apprehensively to the declaration of war after Pearl Harbor. Many of our class- mates were already in the service while many others were preparing to enter, while no one knew just what the future held for him. It was during this year that our new mas- cot, King Husky II was presented to the University after the short reign of Queen Husky I. Our class supplied many men for the var- sity this year and made their presence known to no small degree. Among them were Bob Otenti, Will Shannon, Gabe Connors, Bob Maker, and Walter Hurley. The only dance which the class held this year was the well attended Battle of Music featuring Baron Hugo and his Society Fa- vorites and Sandy Sandiford and his Knights of Harlem. The big attraction of the dance was the presence of Nell Giles, who during the evening selected a Smooth Susan and Smooth Stephan from those present. All in all, everyone had a good time. Under the very enthusiastic leadership of Jim Shanahan the ' 45 Club was organized in the later part of our Sophomore year and this club has functioned continually since. MIDDLER Under the new accelerated program some of us attended school for the first time dur- ing the summer months. It was indeed a new experience trying to concentrate on studies on a warm summer evening. Because of the immediate pressure of the war our class had very little activity this year. However, all the classes combined and with Jim Shanahan as chairman the All University Ball was held in the main ball- room of the Copley Plaza. Roly Rogers ' Orchestra supplied the music, featuring the singing and trumpet stylings of Joan Hunter. The big event of the evening was the ap- pearance of Dixie Dunbar whom we ac- claimed as the girl Northeastern boys would most like to take away with them. The ' 45 Club, as a fitting sequel to the dance, held a buffet supper in the Sheridan Room. Although the food wasn ' t what was expected, it nevertheless served to get many members of our class together for the last time before entrance into the service. r r -i r SOPHOMORE OFFICERS First Row. left to right: Leach.
