ALL THE EWS With Its glorious walls painted over and the summer semester settling upon It, the Phoenix seemed really quenched last June, with no juniors in college to revive the flame.

n livlemonam: 19 4 4-45 Because college classes , like new cars and nylons, have passed from the contemporary scene, this year ' s Halcyon could never repre- sent the class of ' 46 whose name it bears. Instead it is the record of a year — June, 1944, to June, 1945, and all that happened in those months. Summer, fall, winer, spring, and what they held — it is ail here.

Spring found Jeanne Thels and Sue hHar- wig jointly wielding the editorial pencil, with Nancy Frick, Lada hlulka, Terry Lor- win, and Marilyn Rosen as junior eds, and Ed Galligan running sports. Campus Com- ment, April Fool issues, and heads like Rau- cous Roccatorso Rocks Again continued to give the rag an unmistakable and dis- tinct personality.
