LAE. SEN TO-R= CLASS. cis ie HE SIXTY-FIFTH year of the Rhode Island School of Design opened on September 17, 1942 with a freshman class of 100 stu- dents. It was the very same year in which was announced that a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree had been instituted in the curriculum of the school and the oh, so jolly frosh looked at four years of college life with anticipation. The following Friday the class was honored at the traditional reception and tea in the museum galleries. This was only the first of a host of exciting social activities. There was a Halloween Dance for the dormi- tory students, “Midsummer Night’s Dream’, presented by the senior class, and a “Snow Spree” saw the crowning of a queen. Still, we have been anxious not to overlook our place in a war-torn world. We have fitted art education into a pattern of war-emergency. Camouflage classes, cartography courses, war poster exhibitions, and an official notice that the school was now accepted for the Army-Navy Enlisted Reserve Program, are only a few highlights of our part in our country’s fight for freedom. On January 6, 1943, with the opening of the second semester, it was announced that the school was to operate on a year-round basis. The opening of the summer school in June was preceded by a fashion show which gave us a glimpse of things to come. Striking and dynamic were the modern dances interpreted by the kinesthetics group. Busy days flew by and before we could catch our breath we were full- fledged juniors, trotting merrily through another summer of work and play. There were assembly programs to be planned, student plays and exhibitions, and last but not least, there were our duties as nurses aides and canteen hostesses. We have seen the school of which we are all so proud expand. The new Congdon Street dormitory is a delightful place for long hours away from home, and the Prospect House, which was purchased in the fall of 1944, is already an established part of our campus. Today, as we look back at a successful college career, we can only thank you, our parents and our teachers, for having given us such a wonderful opportunity for work and play. May the years which lie ahead of us be as fortunate as the ones which have just passed.
