Student Council The things that make life worth while That cost the least, and does the most—is just a pleasant smile. The stages of fear and proverbial greenness having been more or less worn down, the class of 1943 has settled down to become a part of this great University. The road is rough and long, hard, and at times unbearable, but for sheer determination we are not found wanting in our desire to make these next four years a credit to ourselves and to those endeavoring to impart their knowledge to us. A small number of us had the opportunity of becoming acquainted at the personal interviews given on June 20, 1939, but the convening of classes on September 27, 1939, brought us togethsr as a group for the first time. The week following the opening of classes, Justin Love and Melvin Schwartz were appointed by Dean Willoughby as President and Student Council Representative. respectively. On Wednesday, October 18, 1939, elections were held for class officers. On November 1. 1939. the class of 1943 elected Dr. Robert Rowen as their class adviser. We are extremely thankful in having such a capable man guide our destiny for the next four years. With Christmas vacation over, we primed ourselves for the midyear examinations. They came, we saw, and a good many of us were conquered. Several classmates said goodbye and the class now numbers fifty-six as against the original fifty-nine. Helen C. White, recently married, left us to take up marital duties. Sylvia Sherman was appointed to the office of secretary, left vacant by the leaving of Miss White. 40

SOPH G M CPt: CLASS HISTCR Y Psychologically speaking, there are several stages in the course of endeavor. First there is the concentrated interest of the fresh spirit, the willingness to accomplish of the beginner. Secondly, the glow of conquest, the ease of continuation, the unfolding recognition of results being accomplished in the advanced student. Finally there develops the sure knowledge, the will of manipulation, the responsibility of maturity and the purposeful stimulation to apply and make us9 of experience. We appreciate, as sophomores, our position in the cosmos of learning. We have mentioned the period of initiation and introduction of the freshman year, and feel stimulated to carry on the task assumed under impressions of results with the soberness of procedure and method. We look lorward, certainly, to the prestige of the senior class, but rejoice in the dignity of our advancement. It has permitted us now the luxury of deep breath, having proven our metal, so to speak, and the anticipation of acceptance into the tradition of the school. We presume, also, to a pride of individuality. We point, of course, to general scholastic accomplishments, but we boast of exceptional records. We expect, naturally, friendship, but we beam with the feeling of good fellowship and family closeness which our class has developed in itself. And specifically we urge you to consider something, while probably not unique, that is at least representative of the initiative ol our group. We have formulated a scheme whereby the work of the class is divided into seeming parts, appointed individuals to concentrate on these parts, and giving them the responsibility of imparting their advantages to the others. We urge, modestly but sincerely, that other classes find time and inclination to observe the workings and effects of these student conducted classes. The election of class officers was. for us, hardly a problem. Our president, we reelected unanimously, while our other officers were elected by such close margin, that had the loser not lost, there would have been hardly less satisfaction in the results. In our group, as in a large family, it doesn't matter who administers so long as one of the family does. We have, in the course of our progress through life, often had cause to admire in ethers what we consider impossible of our own accomplishment. We have seen much that has been excellent and some that has been outstanding. Who shall compare, for instance, with the grasp of a Pythagoras? Who can hope to achieve the biting wit of a Voltaire, the effortless rhyme of a Dunbar, the powerful pathos of a Tschaikowsky, the subtle plotting of a Dumas, the excellent rendering of a Renoir, the firm line of a Whistler, the photographic memory of a Macauley, the gall of a Hitler, the charm of a Sonja Henie, the grace of a Littlefield? We despair. But also who will, in his boldest gamble, hope that his absence from chemistry class will escape the eye, without the aid of roll call, or a check on possible change of seating arrangement, of Dr. Rowen. And then we consider the new building. Of course we recognize the tact that it is the stimulated interest, and sincere desire to learn and to accomplish that are the fundamentals of any school. The Greek philosophers gathered their students to any space that happened to be available. Sitting on fallen stones or huddled on grassy plots of earth, they sent forth effects and conclusions that will live as long as people have the ability to remember. Our own college. Temple University, emerged into its present dignity and splendor from most humble origins. Yet we also recognize the growing necessity, in our complicated specialization of projects, of a suitable arrangement for at least efficiency. We will be cognizant of the purpose and hopes, and we will bear ourselves as we know the seniors will, accordingly. And we will also, as our seniors have done, more and more poignantly realize the burden which has been placed, by our own volition, on our humble shoulders, and with our minds looking forward to the duties which it entails, become some day, men in white.
