CLASS HISTOMY In 1936, Panzer College was honored by a group of sincere cooperative students, who, with high ideals and ambitions, started their freshman year with a grand debut. The class elected Joseph Huemer, president; Gertrude Doian, Vice- President; Florence McDermott, Secretary; and Paul Riley, Treasurer. Our first success was a St. Valentine ' s dance given to the Sophomore Class, followed by a picnic for our own members which we ' ll surely never forget. To end our glorious year we took an active part in the demonstration and commencement exercises. The same year we met at aquatic school for ten days of work and play. During the summer, our folk dance group represented Panzer College at the Convention of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women ' s Clubs at Atlantic City, New Jersey. In September of 1937 we renewed our friendships as the Sophomore Class, and elected a new set of officers. They were Francis Boccia, President; Gertrude Dolan, Vice-President; Florence McDermott, Secretary; and Paul Riley, Treasurer. To continue the school tradition of initiating the freshmen, we appointed Geraldine Crampton and Michael Grossman as co-chairmen. Our first event was the Freshman-Sophomore acquaintance dance as a peace offering to the class of 1941. In our junior year the girls became big sisters to the incoming fresh- men women, and gave them a tea under the direction of the committee chair- man, Florence McDermott. During this year we again elected new officers. They were Joseph De Cresce, President; Helen Robinson, Vice-President; Geraldine Crampton, Secretary; and Donald MacPhail, Treasurer. Throughout three years, the class had been planning for our gala event, the Junior Prom. It was held in the Hotel Pennsylvania on February 28, 1939- Need it be said what a splendid affair it was! As the class of 1940 entered the threshold of the last year at Panzer, their task was that of proving their worth as teachers. At the end of January, Miss Brown was more than proud of the results. Their next important task was that of publishing the Olympia, the an- nual yearbook, which undoubtedly speaks for itself. As June 4th arrived the class had fulfilled their obligations, accomplished their goals, and were thrilled with the results. The class was given their degrees, and amidst tears and laughter parted, each with great plans and ideals for the future. GERALDINE CRAMPTON, Class Historian. Page Twenty-five

CLASS WILL We, of the Class of ' 40, although slightly unbalanced (due to lack of brain activity in our senior year) , and of sound body, even after four years at this noble institution, do hereby publish and declare this our last will and testament. FIRST: To our esteemed faculty we bequeath a nominal sum to cover all future re-exams and relieve the students of such petty incon- veniences. SECOND: To the Class of June ' 41, we leave the prestige and dignity our class has built up as a result of the large number of intelligent and worthy students in our class. To them also we leave the honor of following in our footsteps and being known as the class that graduated after the June 1940 class. THIRD: To the Studious Sophomores, we bequeath the odor of their favorite pets emanating from the lab. FOURTH: To the mites of the Freshman class we grant them the permis- sion to call any of us who are famous in after years, my school mate. We also make the following bequests with our sincere hopes that they will be accepted in the spirit with which they are given. To Miss Holmes we leave her books and our deepest gratitude for her invaluable help to a bewildered lot. To Dr. Kilander we leave all future Health Conferences at Panzer. To Prof Gorton we leave the rest of the student body to abuse and our sincere wishes for a champion basketball team for years to come. To Mr. Johnson we leave Russia. To Mr. Kowald we leave our superior technique at doing nothing with the highest degree of finesse. To Miss Brown we leave 3 hours added to every 24 when observation time comes around. To Mr. Armstrong we leave full assurance that his classes are with us in body if not in mind. To Dr. Harshman we leave a recording of South of the Border to play every Saturday morning at 8 A. M. to keep him company until the Seniors decide to arrive. To Miss Burnham we leave our everlasting friendship. Last of course we leave — Panzer. But — everything in this world is give and take, here is what we take — All knowledge obtained, friendships cultivated, fond thoughts of our faculty, and stimulating memories. The foregoing is the legal will and testament of the class of 1940. In witness whereof, we hereby subscribe our name and seal, to our last will and testament on this fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty.
