It was in the beginning of September, 1940, that a group of timid and confused freshmen entered Panzer College. After a period of orientation, the next memora- ble date was the Initiation Court night, which will long be remembered. Another milestone in our journey to- ward the completion of our ambitions was the election of class officers and these in- cluded Jack Underwood, president; Fran- ces Bull, vice-president; Rita Orlando, secretary, and Jerry Elfenbein, treasurer. The social events of the year were cen- tered around our dance for the sopho- mores and our class picnic to Cook ' s Pond, which brought our first year to an enjoyable close. At the start of our sophomore year we elected the following officers; Joseph Hef- fernan, president; Sophie Yaremus, vice- president; Dorothy Klockncr, secretary; and Vincent Cantelmo, treasurer. After Initiation Court night was over, we gave an informal barn dance for the freshmen and a grand time was had by all. To bring our second year to a close, we hope to have another successful class picnic. Dorothy Samerotte. SOPHOMORES The cuf jHsitisfic sophomores are an important part of the college. TWENTY-NINB

Then plow was a huge success. JUNIORS The class of 1942 entered Panzer Col- lege with high hopes for the fulfillment of their ambitions, during the four year stay here and for their future work. George Aumack was elected president of the class and has retained this office for three years. The social highlight of our first year ' s activities was our nautical dance, which was very successful. With the start of our sophomore year, the class was again prepared for the ac- tivities at school and fond memories of summer vacation were relegated to the background. The traditional Hallowe ' en Barn Dance was given by our class and all who attended will fondly remember the fun we had. The outstanding characteristic of the junior year was the annual junior prom. The Condor, in Livingston, was the site at which the prom was held. The turnout for this elaborate affair was larger than for any previous prom. The delicious mid- night dinner, the enchanting music, and beautiful atmosphere of the Condor all served to make this affair one which will be long remembered. As we look forward to next year, it is our desire to maintain the high standards and ideals established bv the preceding classes. We extend our heartiest con- gratulations to the senior class and wish them well in all they do. Frances Trebour. TWENTY-EIGHT

they last through the next three years they will be graduates too. FRESHMEN On September 1 8, Panzer College took into its midst a naturally green class of freshmen, ho intend to do big things ithin the next four vears. At our first class meeting, which was opened bv our very able ad iser Mr. Wil- liam Johnson, we elected: President, George Falcone; Vice-President, Shirley Hoyt; Treasurer, James Ilerdic; Secretary, Florence Rothman. Fred Bedlc and Mar- garet Kerrigan were elected to the Stu- dent Council as representatives-at-large and Grace Wake and Paul Piefke were elected to the Athletic Association Coun- cil as class representatives. Initiation proved a very thrilling event for everyone, and I hope we have finally gained favor with our sophomore friends. Initiation did not seem so bad when we realized that next year we would be sophs and would be on the other side of the fence.- The freshman girls were gi ' en a soda treat after initiation by the sophomore girls and we reciprocated with a party at our vice-president ' s home. We also gave a Big Sister Party and load of fun was had by all who attended. Our last and most important affair was held on March 2g, when we gave our annual dance in honor of the sophomores. Live and Love seniors your college days are your best, and it is with the most sincere regrets that you leave them. Peggy Kerrigan.
