Men Unite, Reorganize Into League Faculty, As We Students complain about them, criticize their opinions and meth- tods threaten them with worse (than death, but would readily fol- low them to the ends of the earth the next minute. There is only one group of people who can evoke such backhanded admiration, the faculty. Though there are times when we wish they were never bom, they will never Ik forgotten. In the years to come we will thank them for the very things we now condemn. They arc an integral part of the Ripon we love.

Before she resumed her duties in the field of contacting prospective students, die was the guest at a tea given by all the girls from the Chicago area, who offered her whatever help they were able. -----------------❖ I)r. Leonard Karel DENTIST W Phono: Itlnok 111 Because of the lamentable deple- tion of the civilan male population on campus, all the men moved into Harwood house this fall. Former fraternal affiliations were forgot- ten as they joined together to func- tion as a unit. The highlight of the social year for Harwood men’s house was the first quarter scmi-formal dance held Saturday, November 20, at the Legion hall. Decorations were of a patriotic nature. The ASTI Kind provided the music for the evening. Miss Ruth Strandbcrg and Lt. Fred Sullivan, and Mr. and Mrs. Bob McDonald served as chaperones. Also during the first quarter, the boys gave a smoker for President Clark Kuebicr and the male mem- bers of the faculty on Nov. 27. The main speech was given by Dr. Kuebicr who told of his European experiences. Harwood lost many of its mem- bers to the armed forces during the year. At the end of the first quarter, Dick Werner left for the Merchant Marines, Bill O'Brien for the navy, and the Donklc twins Bob and Bill, for the army. Ralph Loomis, better known as Jodi.. was another who finished only the first quarter. The closing of sec- ond quarter saw Henry Miller graduate and Jim Hansen leave for the army. Third quarter,, the navy claimed Kith Ben Grota and Bill Steffens. The last social event held by Harwood men's house was during friendship week-end when on Sat- urday night, Apr. 29, they enter- tained the male guests. Officers for the year were, pres- ident, Jack Horak; secretary and treasurer, Dean Johnston; social chairman, James Ohan. (JALS DID ARMY SAD FAREWELL Ingram just isn’t the same. We can stroll leisurely through the halls now without being jostled from side to side by broad kh.tiki clad shoulders. The Union just isn’t the same. We can drop in and order a malt now without having to wait in line while the army purchased their quota. Saturday morning just isn’t the same. We can slumber on till noon now if wc like without being dis- turbed by that malicious chant, “Hut, 2 3 4. Convocation just isn’t the same. There is no need for placing extra chairs in the aisle. Wc gaze sadly at the many vacant scats surround- ing us. The theaters just aren’t the same. When the lights blaze on for bin- go, we concentrate on our bingo cards instead of peering about to see what GI is dating what Miss Coed. Yes, Ripon college has suffered a change, but many changes have come and gone during its long and honorable history. And it has weathered them all. Mar. 30, 1944, was the date. The Milwaukee mad railway depot was the destination. When our 350 ASTP’s marched down the street to the waiting coaches, wc thought of the fun they’d been, the friendships they’d fostered, and even of the difficulties they’d evoked. And then we realized how much we’d miss them and we were sad. But then we realized why they were going and wc were glad. They were soldiers first and friends (Conllnuod on page 21) The officers, directors and staff of the First National Bank of Ripon join in extending to you sincere congratulations on your graduation.
