junior Class OFFICERS III'FORI» 1. MlTCHBX.......... .......... Benjamin F. Saui.tpr. Jr. Dorothea Spkatlen ........................... Au.ura Freeman................... ......... John Martin................................ ........ President Vice-President .........Secretary Assistant Secretary Treasurer CLASS HISTORY There arrived at Tennessee State College in the fall of 1912 380 green fresh men, the first class to enter college under the actual strain of World War II. What was college to Ik- like? Would we find new friends? Would we Ik- able to stay away from home for nine months? These were some of «lie questions to which we anxiously awaited answers. After a while Uncle Sam drafted several boys of the class, making the proportion of the female population of the college much greater than ever before. The road was a little rough, and some of tIre girls decided that college was not the life for them and chose other careers. Even though several of the original class did not return for the second year, there were 165 sophomores in the fall of I9J3. We had acquired a few privileges. For instance, we were allowed to move in front of the freshmen when the lines were formed for the meals in the cafeteria. The calls came to us for participa- tion in the usual programs sponsored by the sophomore class. Some of our class members had distinguished themselves in the various departments of the college, and several had even made prominent social clubs and Greek organi a lions. Now we have acquired the air and dignity of a junior— I3H strong. Some of tile A. 8: I. sons and daughters who have made the honor roll of the Armed Services have returned to complete their work as members of our class. With a little more interest and labor on our part and encouragement from our most honored advisers. Mr. .Meri R. Eppse and Dr. Thomas F.. Eoag, we shall do great things as seniors and in the world of tomorrow
