The .luniors are a class which collectively has peered into nearly every corner of the earth. With all this traveling came knowl- edge and finesse that is not traditional with College Juniors. In Dr. Tumbelstonls words: Wllhis is a Salt and Pepper erewfl They are greatly endowed with a sense of humor and are strong competitors in all fields. With them, life is interesting and intense, relaxing and humorous. It was in the fall of 1940 when some of our members first enrolled in P.T.l. Others came in 1941, '42, '43, '44, and '45, Finally, we have collected ourselves together again, picking up where we left off when we were called to the Service. Because of our past history, we realize that our individual tasks in preparing for the future are most im- portant. Accordingly, this is a hard-working class-anxious to be up and about, full of plans and hopes. Let's take a look. Ours is not a provincial crew. Interna- tional flavor is blended in by lads from Mexico, Canada, France, and of all places- Brooklyn. With the walls of P.T.l. bulging to the bursting point, we sometimes wonder what keeps them up when the one man HGang is loose . . . Even Mr. France is in awe of Joe Doneganls endless noise and chatter . . . DiSanto with Hoffner in a corner telling sea stories . . . Elwell's look of sweet innocence and pleading 'gWho me ?', . . . Harvey f'Pappy Steinman's expanded chest-all of these are enough to tear any wall down. Dabek contributed with mln France 1 am ze arteestw . . . Bill Levin with those flashing store teeth . . . Haltman's and Howie Cole's cue work causing moans and groans . . . Saltiel and Nader arguing in Spanish . And Zane's f'Don't you think that-I? . Osborne getting a little work out of Klett . . Allen, Dunning and Landon, the Hatboro threesome . . . The walls creak and crack . . . Anita Zenscn going in for stink bombs in a big way . . . Doris Edzwald doing the work of two men plus her own . . . Kuehn and the Grand Old Army team . . . Filmcyer trying to explain anything . . . Kessler with no tie and no shave and Gertrude Stcin's Wllherc is no sky, why . . . Safir, glasses of black, wit of gold . . . Pearlman and the effect of the wo1'd Quiz, Debonair mainlincr Johnny Akers . . . Round bottom From . . . Big A1 Garhlik bouncing the opposition around the court . . . Loeb telling those awful jokes . . . Spring's every sentence ending in a Canadian HAH . . . Mutchler calling plays on the South Campus . . . Manheim explaining to Pro- fessor Theel the Wave Theory-silly boy! . . . Ross Peffall explaining Jacquard to Bernie Nelson as if he knew it . . . Kluge complaining that his baby cries at night . . . Bill Booth, the Granddaddy of the class, en- tering in 1940 . . . Fred lbach, tall, dark and quiet . . . Fred Hofmann, getting fatter and fatter . . . HCasual', Silverman and his Bo- hemians . . . 6'Noisy Noyes . . . Colandrea talking ten times too loudly. Goldman, our Sports Ed. and Export . . . Bloom disagreeing with Mr. Lawrence . . Turk being fed charcoal by Mr. Foltz . . . The walls must surely fall-maybe we will graduate from the new building. Though the future is as unknown as one of those dished out in G'Qual., these are the lads who will meet it fair and square. They have behind them a brilliant past. At pres- ent, they are fortifying themselves. They say thanks to the faculty and others who help them in their task, and they give warning of our coming.

A freshman class one hundred thirty- five strong, by far the largest in history, descended on the school's registering officers to sign away their lives in three or four year courses-the pent up demand accumulated through the war years had finally come to a head! A large majority of these eager knowl- edge seekers were battle hardened fwell, anyway, War weary! ex-G.l.'s ready to take advantage of their well-deserved educational benefits and plunge into the strange cata- eomhs of study.
