Cap n Gowners PEARL HARROR A. D V-K DAY MARK SPAA' OF SE.MOIt (I.AKS The first class in ihc history of the University to have little organization and no hazing or rat courts has finally reached official senior status. Yes, it navigated an unnatural course for four years, and was often spoken of as the class of 14. 45, or ‘46. During its freshman year this class saw the University begin to change after Pearl Harbor into a school geared for war-time and this same class, or what’s left of it. has seen in its senior year the beginning of reconversion. Pearl Harbor came in its freshman year; V-K Day in its senior year. These graduating seniors were the first, as freshmen, to experience the woes of no gas. no tires, no sugar—and the joy of cadets, hundreds of them. Those were the days when the patio seemed to he the entire British and American armies at ease. It was then that the signs “Let Me Grow” began to be affixed to the few struggling blades of grass in the patio. Knthusiastic freshmen co-eds found something neAv in the RAF cadets, whose accents and baggy trousers made them a picturesque addition to the campus. Stationed here to study air navigation, and armed with little blue books telling them all about their American cousins and how to humor them, the Britishers took over. As soon as the United States Army Air Corps Cadets gave them the word, they, loo, began to offer co-eds instruction on star recognition. But the co-eds weren't so dumb. This class entered the University while it was still running its normal course, the only difference being no hazing. Efforts were made, however, to keep as much tradition as possible. Cheerleaders Jane Mack and Kitty Bob Hyatt did their hit in pepping things up at bon-fires and rallies. March trimester senior class officer : lilinn. Mack, KurUcin, Burnt. Then Pearl Harbor came and things were different. Immediately after the declaration, cadets were armed and placed on guard around tin University to protect valuable Pan-American Airways navigation equipment. Other changes of the year not due to the war were the erection of a SI2.775 intramural field and tennis stadium, the application of a coot of paint to the Main Building, and the addition of three baby alligators to the patio pool. This last meant the pool had to be enclosed—this pool where so many sophomores had been ducked. In that year, too. we can remember that all fraternities and sororities had houses, and that the Slop Shop was in a room facing the patio. Freshman officers were Jim Richardson, who filled the presidency when O'Brien left; Prince Brigham, vice-president; Barbara Price, secretary: Chan Trafford, treasurer: Ruth Wolkowsky. Jimmy Dunn, and George Bernstein, senators. Sophomore year found the students really in defense work. Everyone worked at the Red Cross and took First Aid. Gals sprouted wings or rather acquired them from the military element on campus. Boys began to feel Uncle Sam's long arm creeping round and said goodbye to college life. Active sophomores were Muriel Smith, who had already dazzled thousands with her baton twirling as a freshman: Rita Grossman and r ml M • 2tt
