0 Seniors Koch, Oestricher. Wheeler. Reisinger. In the senior class of Evansville College there are several spe- cies . . . the most common of these is the species called fourth- year man .... Less common are the species fifth-year man and sixth-year man had an earlier origin than the other species . . . the best known among the sixth-year men is the one named Alfred Iohnson .... Some circles have it that this individual is a seventh-year man, but my gosh! . . . Six years is long enough for anyone to get 'A.B. tacked on his name! . . . So we'll stick to six. My 750 words here will deal mainly with the commonest species-the ones that came open-mouthed into the hall of E.C. on Monday morning, September 13, 1937, in the year of our Flood! . . . There were 108 of them, but baby look at 'ern now! . . . 42 survivors-a batting average of .3881 . . . There's some inefficiency here some place. After being psychologized that morning, the Irish elected Iohn Hull, Frank Parker, and Iris Buck their class officers .... At the close of a record football season ftotal scoreg opponents 198, E.C. OJ freshmen Bill Schenk, Mason Wiers, Russ Goebel, Elmer Iohnson, Wetsel Waggoner, Lawson Curnel, Ray Hauck, and Bob Floyd were awarded freshmen numerals for their work on the gridiron .... Vance Hartke, Olin Helm, Ray Hauck, and Ferdinand Merta were all quite skilled in basketball and got their numbers at the end of the season . . . Frosh Chet Lynxweiler was added to the yell-leading squad. During rush week quite a few of the class were rushed and during pledge week quite a few were pledged. They always are, so 27 went Phi Zeta, 14 Philo, 14 Castalian, 14 Sig, and 8 Theta. In the spring elections Crayton Mann and Frank Parker emerged -.penniless but victorious as assistant Crescent busi- ness manager and assistant LinC editor, respectively .... Some other people were elected then too, but what the heck .... Oh, yes, during this year the Booster Club was organized . . . the OTM demanded a dorm . . . the Thespians did not bury the dead .... Comes fall and the newly born sophs seek revenge by slapping the pots on the Irosh .... In the class election Vance Hartke, Iean Theby, Connie Pietzner, and Ray Hauck became class officers. In football the class of '41 again led the pack with Nig Hess receiving the Kiwanis award .... Nig and Wetsel Waggoner also received honorable mention on the little All-American team .... On the hardwood the class was represented by Vance Hartke and Chris Maglaris .... At Christmastime all the good little kiddies got candy from Santa Claus Comiskey, who came riding into assembly on his white charger fhoss to youl .... Radio quiz games were definitely being done this season, and everybody went around challenging everybody else .... In the spring Connie Pietzner had the lead role in the opera Cavalleria Rusticana and Susan and God carrie to the 27 Climax to four years' work.

Friday noon. Hopeful. I Seniors Coliseum .... Oh yes, George Koch was elected treasurer of the S.G.A. on the organized unorganized ticket, and Max Thompson and Ray Hauck were elected assistant Crescent editor cmd assistant LinC business manager .... Also the Thespians gave SEVEN SISTERS and Christmas came on De- cember 25th this year .... As juniors, the members of the class of '41 did just lots of things .... Duke Mann was chosen class prexy, to be assisted by Lois Iones, Eunice Henke, and Max Thompson .... The CAA flew in and a number of class mem- bers joined up .... Russ Goebel received the Kiwanis award for football -- another winner in the class of '41 .... In Decem- ber Marge Schnake became Phi Zeta's Sweetheart .... In May Fancy Vancy Hartke was the choice of the student body for next year's student prexy .... Hartke and Alfred Iohnson were also inducted into Pi Gamma Mu. Hartke was also inducted into Tau Kappa Alpha as well as Tom Trimble. Hartke, Hartke, Hartke, Hmmmm. Also in May Marge Lamble was made E.C.'s third Iunior Prom Queen at the Colonial under the direction of Mr. Mann .... That's all they did as juniors. Comes September again and a new year . . . Coke, fellers, I promise you this is the last onej .... In September Woody Oestreicher became class president .... Mabel Wheeler, Bar- bara Reisinger, and George Koch were elected vice-prexy, sec- retary, and treasurer .... Also in September word came that George Pickels, former member of the class of '41, had died at Purdue as the result of an airplane crash .... In October fthe 16th to be exactj E.C.'s men registered in the national draft . . . the first senior supper was held to compare numbers lwhile the gals oh'd and ah'dJ .... But through special ar- rangements F.D.R. allowed all E.C.'s graduating eds to remain in school. In November ten seniors were picked for WHO'S WHO - Iris Buck, Russ Goebel, Vance Hartke, Alfred Iohnson, Margaret Lehmann, Crayton Mann, Ellen Nolte, Woody Oes- treicher, Frank Parker, and Max Thompson .... For grid work Russ Goebel again received the Kiwanis award for the second time . . . and Four-eye Hartke won the Sig basketball award. . . . In April Seniors Iames julian, Margaret Lehmann, Frank Parker, Maryrose Roach, Thelma Small, and Max Thompson were inducted into Pi Gamma Mu after paying a small initia- tion fee . . . In May there were formals and finals and in Iune there are thirty days. Let's see . . . the seniors had a lot of suppers this year and the Thespians gave EAGER HEART . . . what else . . . of course there was that trip to Bowling Green that Sinnett and some of the boys took . . . and the way Sinnett wore his hat on the choir trip. Well, it's Iune, and the class of '41 commences, molded and made by four years at E.C. -a change for the better . . . but a change, anyhow. The way each senior spent those years will be partly the cause of his success or failure in life .... Heres hopmg it's success. 28
