The business department, which was started last year at the beginning of the winter quarter, was expanded to give more training to the students on the business curricu- lum. Classes in shorthand and typing are now conducted by Miss Mary Ferro, who joined the faculty last fall. During the winter quarter Dr. W. C. Croxton ' s place in the biology de- partment was taken by Miss Falls, while Dr. Croxton was away on a leave of absence. Also during the winter quarter, Mr. W. J. Griffin left our faculty to work on his Ph. D. degree at the University of Iowa. For the rest of the quarter Mr. Griffin ' s English classes were taught by Mrs. Murphy. The music department also claimed a new member in the person of Miss Annette Wilkins, the new voice instructor. Mrs. H, S. Huls is continuing her study of voice at the Northwestern University. Another new faculty member was Miss Amy Roop, who is associated with the women ' s physical education department. She will permanently take the place of Miss Hupp during the coming year.

i 2i iz 2 Vtk W£ SENIOR CLASS — Under the leadership of WilHam Carlson, the senior class carried on the fine standards it had established as juniors. Other officers of the class were: John Boehm, vice-president; Marguerite Kasner, secretary; and Clair Fall, treasurer. Although such a statement should be made sub rosa , the seniors quite evidently- led in all phases of student life. The 1939 class had probably the largest number of four-year graduates in the history of the college. Consequently the seniors comprised a good proportion of membership in all fields of college activity. Edith Mae Martin very effectively handled the program of Orientation Week. Every phase of this important feature showed remarkably fine results. Homecoming brought spectacular maneuverings under the chairmanship of George Rabideau. The banquet, held at the Breen Hotel, was one of the most successful of its kind. Walter Hiebert and his committee very realistically converted Eastman Hall into the Big Top to celebrate the annual Senior Frolic. The committee concentrated its efforts on fun for all . Jeanette Gruber directed a striking and colorful Talahi Revue, which proved to be one of the biggest successes of the year. The Student Council definitely accelerated student responsibility through the efforts of the president, Thorsten Carlson, who aspired to put into effect the policies resulting from attendance at the N. S. F. A. convention held at Lafayette, Indiana. Membership in the Blackfriars, selective dramatic organization of the college, included five seniors out of a total membership of eight. These seniors were Norman Bailey, John Boehm, Jeanette Gruber, Anne Hackett, and Lillian Sjolin. Senior week climaxed the collegiate period of the class, which has been capably advised by Miss Ethel Graves and Mr. Richard Smith. JUNIOR CLASS — With Virgil Herzog as a capable leader, the 1939 Junior Class was led through a very successful year. The president was assisted by Eugene Avery, vice-president; Iris Sarff, secretary; and Peggy Foster, treasurer. Helen Covell was the W. S. G. A. board representative, while Mildred Ahles and LeRoy Kallin repre- sented the class on the Board of Publications. This year, as in former years, the juniors took a creditable part in many fields of endeavor. Four of the committee chairmen for Orientation Week were juniors. They were Donald Rundquist, LeRoy Kallin, Earl Bohm, and Irene Cameron. The juniors who filled responsible positions at Homecoming included Virgil Herzog, James Robb, Orlin Peik, Bernard Broderick, and Elsie Hudec. One finds many junior members participating in athletics. On the gridiron, Eugene Avery, Carl Arnold, Harley LeDoux, and Cliff Dale were outstanding. In basket- ball, Eugene Avery and Clarence Molstad represented the class. Bernard Broderick, Harold Lehto, and Harley LeDoux played hockey. Women ' s athletics progressed under W. A. A. members Mary Saunders, Alice Saunders, Iris Sarff, Marian Schmidt, Mildred Ahles, Mary Witte, Theresa Pauls, and Alvira Lanz. Many members of the class were active in dramatics. James Robb, Virgil Herzog, and Donald Rundquist were members of the Blackfriars, while Charlotte Barsness, Grace Hovey, Marion Owens, and Peggy Foster were members of the Players Club. The Student Council was represented by James Robb and Virgil Herzog on the executive board. The Junior Ball was one of the outstanding social events of the year. It was held on May 6 at Eastman Hall, under the chairmanship of Earl Bohm. James Robb, a junior, was one of the members selected to represent the college at the N. S. F. A. convention at Lafayette, Indiana during Christmas vacation. James brought back many worthwhile ideas to the college. Miss Nell Boyd Taylor and Mr. C. 0. Bemis, advisers, proved capable guides to the junior class and helped much to make 1939 a profitable year.
