CLASS OF ’FORTY FIVE T he Class of 1945 arrived on the Springfield College campus officially on September 17, 1941, bringing with it a new spirit which was quickly caught by the upperclassmen. They were cor dially greeted and divided into small groups with upperclassmen as counsellors. The fellows got acquainted quickly and spent the next few days taking placement tests, and visiting the homes of the faculty. This orientation week closed with a sup ' per at the college camp and an informal talk by Dr. Seashore that will long be rc ' membered. The following Monday classes began and “College Days” took on new meaning for the Frosh. Classroom toils were ex ' plained by the professors and the term papers began to pile up. Just when the students were beginning to go to the right classes at the right time rumors of “Freshman Week” began to be circulated by the Sophomores. This caused a bit of uneasiness on the part of some of the yearlings hut they kept the undaunted spirit which they had brought to the canv pus. Freshman Week followed and every day found new excitement for the bewildered Frosh. The Stunt night “gym exhibition” will long be remembered by the Freshmen and the local vegetable dealers. It ended with a party on the shores of Lake Massa soft. Flowever, the Class of ’45 gained sweet revenge hy winning the annual rope ' pull in the record time of 56 seconds. As the weeks rolled by the need for a governing cabinet became apparent. George Flelwig, Fierb Barwell, Ted Smith, Dressor Woodworth, and Bill Whitaker were elected to serve until the regular elec ' tion could be held. The cabinet arranged a successful joint dance with the Nisimaha Girl’s Club which was held on Novem- ber 29. In January the regular officers of the class were chosen. They included Wilbur Hornstra as President; Wilbur Eaton, Athletic Chairman; Irving McConchie, Social Chairman; James Fulton, Treasurer; and Ted Smith, Secretary. Throughout the long winter term the Frosh became absorbed in their courses and became victims of the highly touted “learn- ing process.” Sleeping in classes was not uncommon and the familiar cry about “8 o’clocks” was echoed loud. However, so- cial life was not overlooked; a joint dance with the Y. W. C. A. girls, held on March 14th, was a great success. The “Freshman Spirit” is exemplified by the way in which the 45-’ers carried the Varsity football team and the coaches off the field after the A. I. C. game. The Class of 1947 worked hard all year to uphold the traditions of Springfield Col- lege and, while their ranks were becoming more depleted by the necessities of the international situation, those who remained kept in mind the college slogan — spirit, mind, and body.
