Bartlett Girls Experience Dorm Life, Happiness Face Adventures in World of Tomorrow There's something distinctive above every college graduating class. It isn't just the way they v.»r their gowns or stand at grad- uation. The fact that they have maintained a certain scholastic Standard or attained a degree of excellence in their fields and met the requirements doesn't make them different either. It's some- ping else. i Perhaps they're thinking hack over their four years of college— four years of hard work and study- ing, more work and plenty of grief, hard knocks and too many gixxl limes to remember. Or perhaps they're not thinking of college at fill, hut are looking ahead at to- morrow. Surely tomorrow they Will be out of shelter and on their t vn m the world. After four long hears of preparation they are at last ready to step out and take their place—do their job. This year 29 students will grad- uate from Ripon. The number is mull. There have been much larg- er groups in years before. There will K- even larger groups in years to come, but of the class of '44 only 29 remain. The majority of [he senior's classmates arc scatter- rd all over the world. So this sen- ior class isn't all together really. The class is together only in their thoughts and in their prayers. Some of these graduating seniors have made Phi Alpha; others of them have received scholastic hon- ors and have done other things, too; some have excelled not sc hoi- Morally hut rather in leadership und campus activities, but all of them have done what they wanted to do. All of them have obtained what to them was important. That b what counts. And so the seniors are set apart from the rest. Each thing they do, fhey do for the last time They go t classes for the last time; they attend senior banquets; they go on house picnics and steak fries; they ftep out of offices, first initiating, «heir successors; they take their last c.ums and so take leave of Ripon and pass from its portals to take it heir positions in the world, wher- ever they may be. These 29 sen- ■ r- »ay gixxl-byc to Ripon. They •ay g xxl-hyc—at least for a while. I They linger over bull sessions •md think of old traditions and [times long past. During all the rush ; ■! iin.il packing and good-byes they The timid Bartlett fmsh, with radiating greenhorn personalities, started the Kill rolling by electing their officers at their first house meeting. Harriet Ketchpaw, Har- wood, of Bi x mcr, Wis., a capa- ble, but devilish gai, was elected president. As their vice president and social chairman, they chose Shirley Fran:, Duffic, of Tomah, Wis. Shirley is an ambitious girl who really did her share of work for Ripon college and Bartlett so- cial events. It seems the Bartlett girls felt as though Chicago should be represented among their offi- cers, and they all agreed that Mar- jorie Forster, Duffic, was the one for the Job of secretary. Since they also wanted to be democratic and include the south, Carolyn Schuettc, of East St. Louis, 111., was the inevitable choice for treas- urer. Bartlett's social calendar consist- ed of two open houses. The first one was held Jan. 30, as a house pause on their way over the cam- pus to give Limpy a final pat. Even Limpy seems to know it's time for them to leave. Standing here, we wave good- bye, good luck' and G xJ speed to a grand group of seniors. And as they take leave of our hill wc know their thoughts arc of Ripon. warming for their newly redeco- rated rcc room We can't forget to mention the fact that the girls themselves helped with the deco- rating. On Mar. II, another open house for the ASTP boys was held. Everyone had a lot of fun at both affairs, and the frosh were disap- pointed because they didn't ar- range more. In spite of the fact that the social events were few, the girls managed to have some gix d times just cutting up in the house. Hardly a night passed without someone thinking up a new practi- cal joke to play on some unsuspect- ing victim. Although the jokes were a little rank at times, the girls will admit that they really had fun at Bartlett and won't soon forget the friends they made there. And so goes life at Bartlett . . . ------------------------- For the Graduate . . . n fine diamond is al- ways the favorite of a life time. A Grucn. Hamilton or Elgin Watch. H. L.

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.

COLLEGE RATED TOPS FOR PHY ED Figures released by Carl lX chl- ing showed dial the Ripon ASTI unit scored exceptionally well in the physical efficiency tests which were conducted in cooperation with the army department's phys- ical fitness program. Gains were made from one quarter to the next and Ripon college rated high among the other ASTI sckxils within the Sixth Service command. Individual honors went to Dar- rell Lloyd, Section 8, for both quarters. The leader tallied 680 points the first term and the fol- lowing one he totaled 680i to beat out Sovcl, Section 9, who was sec- ond with 690 points. Sections 1 and 4 ranked at the top of the list in the competition, with Sections 5 and 8 close behind. It was no- ticed that the second group that came to Ripon averaged 18.9 years in age while the first con- tingent averaged 20.2 years. ASTP’S Beat Tracy ROTC; Scidl, Paulsen, Lloyd Star In the first basketball game of the season the picked ASTI squad downed the Tracy ROTC quintet, 31-22. The game was featured by the top playing of the former Ri- pon college basketball captain, James Scidl, while Paulsen and Lloyd starred for the winners. The game was marked with fre- quent miscucs and only the failure to connect on set-ups kept the score from «wring. The hall game devel- oped into a swell battle until the last few minutes of play when the ASTP five turned on the heat and tallied seven straight points to dis- courage all efforts by the Tracy ag- gregation. ------------------------ Rim pier Tetzlaff Dealers in the finer cuts of MEATS At Lowest Prices Phono Itlnck I Oft Itlpon ♦----------------------------------- All Stars Defeat Green Lake Quintet Twice Midway through the second quarter, an all-star basketball quin- tet was formed with Robert Fur- nish as the captain. This all-army quintet played two games with the Green Like city team and was tri- umphant in Kith engagements. The first tilt was staged on the Green Lake floor and the ASTI stars eked out a close 40-35 win. Lindquist and Banks paced the win for the locals while Busse tal- lied most of the Lakers points. The battle was marked with fre- quent fouls and only the superior floor play of the all-stars allowed for the margin of victory. In the return tilt at the Ripon college gym, the army five staged a one sided victory which saw the Green Like men going home on the short end of a 53-21 score. The locals employed a fast-break attack which left the visitors gasping for air. Lundquist again paced the vic- tory. These two successes marked the completion of the only semblance of college basket hi 11 at Ripon this past year. The members of the team from Companies A and B were as follows: Capt. Furnish, Lundquist, Banks, Sovcl, Lloyd, Hartman, Walworth, Tremper, Goldberg, Gordon and Paulsen. ASTP Sections Organized Into First, Second Teams Before the start of the second quarter the ASTP men had en- gaged in basketball which was not authorized or controlled by either the school athletic department or the army and was scheduled lie- tween the sections as circumstances permitted. With the beginning of the winter term, however, the ath- letic department organized the sec- tions into two kiskctball leagues which played an eleven game sea- son. Over 250 men participated. The first team title went to Sec- tions 8 and 9 who tallied nine wins and two defeats apiece. The second team crown was shared by Sections 1, 2 and 3 who also won nine games and dropped two. --------------------- Luck Inverselti For Victory, Huy W«r Bonds For the Best in Town . . .
