The Class Prophecy, concluded Jucne, before her discharge at the close of the war. Also that through her experience in the Spars, Jo Buttino is holding the position as head of the Dietetics Department at the Albany Hospital. While I was overseas 1 met Marine CpI. James Plog, who was able to tell me something ot the activities of the boys of our class. Van Simons is now teaching ag. at our Alma Mater; Nor man Craft is editor of the Columbia County “Faim Journal”; Melvin Shoemaker is following his father's footsteps as a missionary in Alaska; Erskme Truesdale in his love-lorn column ol the Watertown Herald was the first to announce the marriage of Thcron MacFee and Patricia Proctor. Henry Slcasman, landscaper, is still looking for the “right situation”, and Harold “Trigger” Rost is making a success of his music shop by playing”Elmcr's Tune” daily over the loudspeaker of his establishment. The State Grange Association has brought together William Bullock, William Cary, Lamont Duncan, Dan Ferronc, Calvin Jones, Donald Legg, Emerson Morrow, Francis Vagnarclli and Harry Worthington, all of whom are making a success of the farming and dairy industries. You’d never guess whom I ran into on deck this afternoon 1st Lt. Elizabeth Jensen, Navy Nurse. She also stayed over for the rehabilitation of the western European countries. We had one of our long talks. Bettic mentioned having seen Doris Vickery and Betty Matthews, who were in the Medical Corps, Dietetics Division. Muriel Brown has gone on with her dietetics work and is now head of the department at Nathan Littauer Hospital. William Sliva is still with the army reconstruction in the South Pacific. Doris Isaacson is doing a notable job managing the Schralft s Restaurant in New York City. Mrs. Charles Emcrick, formerly Hilda Smith, Ensign Navy Nurse, is now living in her dream home, while S Sgt. and Mrs. Herbert R. Weaver (Bobbie Cray) are now waiting for the arrival of their own nursery school. Well Kay, it won’t be long now before Bettic and I will be seeing the good old U. S. A. and we hope it won't be too long before the Class of 44 will be able to get together again on the campus of N. Y. S. I. A. Love, Willie (Lt. E. Williams, U.S M.C.W.R.)

Mrs. Joan Pearson One Active Chapter- Founded in 1936 In the fall of 1943, Alpha Sigma Delta resumed campus activities with four members. In December we were very happy to initiate three new members, Doris, Barbara and Carol. This year Alpha Sigma Delta and Lambda Sigma Zeta have worked together and developed a real bond of friendship. At Christmas time the two sororities held open house for the student body and faculty. Both rooms were nicely decorated in keeping with the spirit of Christmas. On February fourteenth the Annual Candlelight Tea was held with decorations for St. Valentine s Day. We were unable to hold the Coronation Dance this year because of the limited enrollment and other war conditions. The activities have been fewer but successful and our social life full of pleasant times. Our brothers’ fraternity room. Alpha Sigma Chi, was stilled and silent this year and we have missed them very much. We wish to one and all of them “God speed.’’
