Months before the ottock on Peorl l-lorbor the deportment hod initioted o progrom designed to increose the physicol fitness of the student body through the medium of speciolly orgonized conditioning closses. The lntromurol progrom wos thoroughly overhouled. Recreotionol sports were dropped in fovor of octivities of o more strenuous noture. Emphosis wos ploced on boxing, wrestling, ond other contoct sports. Gomes involving individuol obilities rother thon teom sports were fostered. The United Stotes hod been ot wor over nine months when we orrived with our trunks ond suitcoses ot Northwestern. By the first week in lvldy of 49113 we got up enough couroge to plon something big ond so we scropped our green beonies ond turned them over to the Red Cross Clothing Drive. We forgot the wor for o doy ond celebroted Freshmon Doy in Deering lVleodow. Exoms come ond went ond so did we. ln September 4943 we come bock to the shores of lvlichigon to find o militory otmosphere ond o doteless compus. With no one to entertoin us we decided to entertoin ourselves. So the sophomore musicol Lody You're Gone groced the stoge in Cohn Auditorium for two sold-out nights. Then before we closed the books on our second yeor we produced the Sophomore Cotilllon ot the Orrington l-lotel. 1946 Essays J L..- . 1
