W f § 4 A J t- FRESHMAN CLASS With the increase in enrollment this year, brought about by the influx of veteran students, the Freshman Class became a combination class. The older half, or upper class freshmen as they jokingly refer to themselves, were registered in February 1946, while the younger half of the group entered school in September of the same year. Composed almost entirely of veterans, the February half of the class contains the largest number of ex-servicemen in the college. The lone girl, charged with keeping all these former doggies, gobs, gyrenes, and fly boys in check, is Miss Dorothy Grieve. The September half of the freshmen contains three ex-servicegirls among its veterans. Class officers for the February freshmen include: John Lang, president; James Farquhar, vice-president; Daniel Marzano, treasurer; Marvin Speidel, secretary; Harmon Field and Miss Grieve, Student Council representatives; John Feeney and John Mineur, Athletic Association representatives. The September group has, as its officers: Edward Skuria, president; Natalie Slack, vice-president; Glynder Fowler, treasurer; Dolores Kunkel, secretary; Ethel Pasvolsky and Richard Weber, Student Council representatives; Jane Farley and Philip Graham, Athletic Association re presentatives. The proudest boast of the class is that the touchdown twins , John Kerr and Daniel MacGregor, who accounted for all of the Panzer football team ' s points this fall, are among its members. Page 22

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomore class, consisting of sixty-five students, twenty-six of whom were girls and approximately thirty of whom were veterans, had the distinction of being the first post-war class to enter Panzer. After the first two weeks of school, during which we underwent our initiation, we finally settled down to the more serious side of College life. During our first year at Panzer, we became known as the class which did things, for we were well represented in almost every extra-curricular activity of the school, and a good number of freshman names appeared on the honor roll. It was also our social duty to sponsor a square dance. This without a word of exaggeration was a huge success, so much so that a repeat performance was given this year. As the class entered its second year, the number of its members was reduced to thirty, thirteen of whom were girls. The first two weeks were spent in the training of the new Freshmen in the ways of Panzer College. Following this short period, we again settled down to business and proceeded to try to keep our good reputation. This not only included work, but also acquainting ourselves with the large numbers of new students. Our officers this year have been: president, Richard Forster ; vice-president, Dorothy Greulich ; secretary, Antoinette Serruto ; treasurer, David Roderick. 3 Page 21

JTUDENT COUNCIL JPRINGBOARD Because of the increase of students in the college, the Student Council has been strengthened consid- erably with the mature views of the veterans who have enrolled. The enlarged student body and the many improvements in the building have pre- sented new problems which the student organiza- tion had to face throughout the year. During the past year, a great many changes have been witnessed in both the appearance and the content of the Springboard. Operating under a predominantly war-veteran staff, the school paper has returned to an improved, printed version with pictures and has aiTiliated itself with the Associated Collegiate Press.
