. 1 1 J . OFFICERS President - J ' ice President Secretary - Treasurer - William Hays John D. Warner - Corinne Kahn La Verne Kohn We are the class of ' 45, and when we depart our footprints on the sands of time will be im- pressed in many fields. In retrospect we see much that has enriched our lives. To the campus of Susquehanna University we came in the fall of nineteen hundred and forty- one, a group of eighty-seven hopeful, enthusiastic freshmen. Immediately we plunged into orientation, parties, classes, dances, athletic events, fraternity and sorority affiliations, and our unforgettable get- away which was held before the sophomores could prevent it. The following year we returned as upperclassmen and assumed the traditional duties of the soph- omores, that of enforcing the freshmen customs. Through our Soph Hop we brought new recogni- tion to the class. By our Junior Year, the war had taken its toll as the reduction in the size of the class to but eleven members indicated. Still undaunted in spirit, we carried on, and the success of our Junior Prom and of our Lanthorn set enviable records. We saw the Air Corps program come and go, and became more fully aware of the history-making era through which we were passing. New members were added to our ranks through the accelerated program, and by our Senior Year, our class numbered twenty. The realization as Seniors that our last year at Susquehanna has arrived leaves us with mixed feelings, a reluctance to give up college life and yet an eagerness to try our hands at life. We feel an undying debt of gratitude to those of our number in the Armed Forces, and it is our purpose as we go forth, to serve in our respective callings with as much unselfishness and sacrifice as those serving on our battlefields. We hope that the class of ' 45 has contributed something to the general tradition and heritage that is Susquehanna University. 17
