The junior knows not but kno ' ws that he knows not. With a suddenness that was startling, responsibil- ity was upon them and they began to understand. When it come time to take over the posts as officers, managers, and editors, individuals rose gracefully to the task. The Press Board underwent a general shakedown, emerging as the College News Bureau, and for the second time in its history a woman head- ed the Phoenix . The Student Council strove vali- antly to put over the idea of amicable coeducational dining and despite this activity retained a place of affection in the hearts of their classmates. Consider- ing all the activities it was with little surprise that the elections for Mortar Board and Book and Key were greeted in the spring. The senior knows not and knows not that he knows not. This senior class had always felt that it knew more than most. Born at the end of one World War, they were graduated into the midst of another. The year started off late because of the infantile paraly- sis seige but it was not until Pearl Harbor, the day after the Senior Dance, that the real nature of their changed life manifested itself. Tangible evidence quickly appeared in the quickly dwindling number of students. Many, unable to realize the end of their efforts were forced to leave in the middle of their courses. The girls were faced with real jobs for the first time rather than the choice between marriage and a secretarial course. Short hair and the appearance of slacks were but two further evi- dences of change. What lay ahead they knew not but felt secure in the realization of four years of normal life behind them. « 22

THE SENIOR ELASS The freshman knows and knows that he knows. A little green perhaps, a little eager to fall into the ever-ready traps set by the traditional upper- classmen — the class of 1942 was, however, no dif- ferent in their reactions from most. The necessary adjustmenis and hard-learned lessons came no harder to them than most. But this was a class of reactionaries. Their spirit soon manifested itself when the girls revolted against the obnoxious hair nets and challenged thsir sophomore oppressors to a tug-of-war in which they were successful. The outcome of the boys ' more traditional combat was less favorable and a broken rope plunged the class into Crum ' s waters. After Christmas vacation their spirits were revived, and they plunged enthusiasti- cally into plans for a Freshman Show which in- cluded a gay melodrama. The sophomore knows but knows not that he knows. The Sophs of 1942 took precious little time to find out. Scarcely were they accustomed to the luxury of eight o ' clock breakfast and the supremacy of be- ing upper-class when they introduced the DODO to a dazed Sworihmore. A queer hybrid, this creation of ' 42 immediately evinced considerable literary talent in the matter of stories, poems and cartoons. A further evidence of initiative was to be found in the class Christmas party. This successful function turned into an annual affair. Class spirit also re- sulted in a spring picnic. It was a farewell gesture to carefree youth when the proximity of honors studies and necessity for settling down to staid maturity impressed on them the realization that time was growing short, as time inevitably does.
