CLASS WILL We, of the Class of 1942, being of sound body and mind, do hereby pub- hsh and declare this our last will and testament. FIRST: To our esteemed faculty we bequeath a long lost, well earned peace of mind. SECOND: To the Junior Class we leave the honor of following in our footsteps and the privilege of occupying our old seats in Room 6. THIRD: To the Studious Sophomores we bequeath carbon copies of all our old term papers, Dr. Kilander having kept the originals. FOURTH: To the care of the Freshmen we leave the locker rooms and the privilege of showing all notable guests of the future, the place where the Class of 1942 used to hang their hats. 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 Wardell we leave our thanks and our slightly used textbooks to fill the gaps in the library shelves. To Miss Burnham we leave a copy of Elbert Hubbard ' s Scrapbook. We of the Senior Class are for bigger and better quotations. To Mr. Johnson we leave all our questionable relatives to add to his collection. To Miss Brown we leave the underclassmen, hoping that in them she will find such desirable qualities that her sorrow in losing us may not be too great. Kay Cairns and Swede Masin leave their basketball ability to Bert Mellen and Donald Wadams. Helen Nairn and Frances Trebour leave two well worn pairs of tap shoes to any budding Pavlovas of the Freshman Class. Harriet Kane leaves the bubbling enthusiasm of her public speeches to Helen Moore. Marion Allison leaves those cherished ballet slippers to Frances O ' Rourke, if she finds that at the last minute she can part with them. Joe Boll leaves his crown to those who wish to rule supreme. And lastly, we leave Panzer College, but not the memories we have gathered or the friends we have made here. These will live on forever. The foregoing is the legal will and testament of the Class of 1942. In ' witness whereof, we hereby subscribe our name and seal, on this sixteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Two. JEAN BURGESS, Executrix of the Will.

BASKETBALL Winning the Northern Intercollegiate Conference Championship for the third straight year, and retiring the Cromwell trophy from further competition, the Panzer basketball team culminated another successful season. To put an end to a perfect reign, our Panthers participated in the National Invitation Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament at Kansas City, Missouri. Although losing their first round game to Bemidji State of Minnesota, the Panzer team played a good game and left an impression upon the western metropolis. The game with Upsala proved a memorable one for our great squad, for the team not only won the Conference Championship, but aided in the cele- bration of the Golden Jubilee of basketball. With such festivities as the great Johnny Beckman throwing up a golden ball autographed by the members of both teams and the raffling of the ball, both teams arose to the occasion and put on a typical fighting rivalry game of the Blue Vi kings against the Maroon Panthers. With a brilliant fourth quarter rally the Panther team came through to win 52-43. Following this game and before leaving for Kansas City the team traveled to East Stroudsburg only to lose to one of the finest quintets in the country. Three men from our squad were honored by making the all-conference team selected by the coaches of the various colleges. The men to make the team were Swede Masin, James Herdic, and Frank Chenitz. Another loss will be the graduation of three senior lettermen who have done a great deal for the team — Swede Masin, Ed Meisse, and Ed Beckman. Page Twenty-eight
