At that time we were almost entirely a class of girls, since few of the men had as yet returned from service. After the first few weeks spent in a confusion of filling out schedule cards, meeting new friends, and acquainting ourselves with the various buildings of the school, we settled down to our studies. Our first act as a class was the election of officers, and the following class officers were elected: President, Emma Thurber; Vice President, Barbara Barry; Secretary, Mary Ellen Fletcher; Treasurer, Barbara Goulding. The high- light of our Freshman year was the tea given in our honor, at which time we were intro- duced to the members of the faculty. The fall of our Sophomore year found the members of the class at work in the various departments of their choice. This year we chose as our class officers: President, Cynthia Norton; Vice President, Allen Johnson; Secretary-Treasurer, Raymond Simoneau. This year, as Juniors, our class has welcomed the addition of many new members; those veterans whose education had been interrupted by the war. In our class elections we chose as President, Thomas Maloney; Vice President, Lili Ragnell; Secretary- Treasurer, Allen Johnson. Although the Junior class has not been responsible for any planned social activities, we have willingly supported the various events of the school; the dances, the outing at the school farm, the swimming club, and the camera club. Now, as our third year at Rhode Island School of Design is ending, we look forward eagerly to our Senior year. May it be filled with work, pleasure, and many happy experi- ences to add to our Book of Memories. BARBARA FARR
