Robinson, Markowski, King, Haglund, Brooks. OLASS OF 1940 JOHN J. KING President FRANK ROBINSON Vice-President CHARLES BROOKS, Jr. Treasurer MILDRED HAGLUND -Secretary STANLEY MARKOWSKI Historian WVe juniors ofttimes think that our class might truly be called the transition class if one could be picked. During our days here we have seen the college as it was before the changes began and some of us will probably see the college when it is nearly through changing before We graduate. This, our junior year, has been one of large doing for us. The intricacies of Junior Prom promo- tion, yearbooks, tree-planting, even politics, are now familiar to us. We have dabbled in much and accomplished not a little. Members of our class have taken the initiative in the formation of the Pistol Club and the Electrical Olub and have been instrumental in the success of the Roundtable as well as most of the older organizations. We have innovated a system of running third-year class functions which, We think, has proven wholly satisfactory-thereby vindicating our actions as clever though maligned politicians. We have even achieved a moderately popular class jacket and a crcditably small number of flunkees. Dr. Paul Walker was elected our class adviser, replacing Dr. Kelly.

CLASS OF 1939 y LEONARD POSNER President EDWARD MORAN Vice-President JAMES FERGUSON Treasurer RITA COUGHLIN Secretary EUNICE HALE Historian As seniors, we the Class of 1939, have been the ruling lords of the Hill for a year now. It has been a strangely upset year for us-a year marked by the changing of many things we had thought permanent, the forming of new associations and, odd though it may seem, a new outlook on Life. The death of Bill Holcomb, our classmate and leader, gave us a bewildering realization of un- certainty and a shock from which We shall not easily recover. The old order is changing with alarming rapidity on the campus itself, during our last stay here, and we feel that we have had an active part in bringing about many changes-and improvements -in the activities of The Student at Storrs and the direction thereof. Vile have seen the growth of the College to its present size and can visualize, hopefully, the Connecticut State College of the future. , Back: Ferguson, Moran. Front: Hale, Posner, Coughlin
