o iliat we almost lu iij ' re scarcer than seniors uniors are wnal we aimosi nave none . . ' . tkeu re scarcer tk L The class of ' 44 cornered all the officers, hon- ors, and work this year. Perhaps it was because so many seniors were studying hard to finish ahead of Uncle Sammy, but the juniors like to think it was because of their outstanding leader- ship. Dick Burress acted as president of the relative- ly socially inactive class, while Annette Deibel maintained the post of vice-president, aided and abetted by Jane Griffith, secretary-treasurer. Doubling up, Burress acted as president of the Student Council as well as president of Theta Phi Delta. He succeeded Byron Oberst in the frat post. Other juniors heading their respective or- ganizations were: Jane Griffith, Sigma Pi Phi; Charles Rockey, Sigma Tau Delta; Maxine Ylander, Gamma Sigma Omicron; Betty Jane Bowler, Kappa Psi Delta; Roberta Green, Pi Omega Pi; Jean Pratt, Sigma Chi Omicron; Phyll Iverson, Independents. Student Council representatives were: Shirley Buchanan, Phyll Iverson, Dick Burress, Byron Oberst, and Douglas Lindsey. Buchanan served as vice-president while Iverson maintained the secretaryship. Student publications, commandeered by the underclass green-horns, left only two positions open to upperclassmen : the Board of Student Publications was handled by one junior, Roberta Green and one senior, Bill Zimmer. The TOMA- HAWK staff was, with few exceptions, all junior class. The editor-in-chief, Annette Klein, was aided by Shirley Buchanan and Phyll Iverson as associate editors. The most important feature of the ' 43 yearbook was that it broke an eight-year tradition when it came out on time. Eight juniors nominated for inclusion in the 1942-43 edition of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges were Mil- dred Cunningham, Roberta Green, Phyll Iverson, Annette Klein, Douglas Lindsey, Byron Oberst, and Marian Peck. Juniors on the football team were few but dynamic and important. Jim Oglesby, Bob Mo- ran, Bob Dymacek and Dick Burress were the junior class moleskin authorities. Oglesby and Moron played the backfield, while Dymacek played line along with guard-Burress. Jane Griffith, Sig Chi, Mary Ellen Mahoney, Phi Delt, and Bobro Suiter, Independent, were entrants in the TOMAHAWK Beauty Contest. Douglas Lindsey, relatively busy this years as business manager of Student Publications, com- manded one of the strain, stretch and groan companies in the new stepped-up phys-ed pro- gram. Lyie Noble was another junior who helped figure out the building-up exercises the univer- sity men went through this year. Alfred Eggers served as head of the crack squad. Altogether, the juniors proved a versatile out- fit by not only controlling all the leading posi- tions in the University organizations, but even holding positions outside of school on top of split- ting ranks in the accelerated program. A great percentage of the class of ' 44, along with the class of ' 43, will receive their last TOMAHAWK this spring and will finish work on their degrees at the end of the fall semester in January. 26

Enrollment in the School of Adult Education is the largest in the University, the decrease not being as great as that in day school. Approxi- mately seven hundred students are now enrolled in evening classes. Most important of the classes offered by the School of Adult Education are those given in cooperation with the government. Among these have been the air pilot training institutes, in which three hundred men have been trained. Math, science, and engineering courses have also been very popular this year. Added to the usual courses has been the pre- ciinic training center for nurses offered in con- junction with the Immanuel, Methodist, and Jennie Edmundson (Council Bluffs) hospitals. Other new activities this year have been the initiation of an insurance program in cooperation with the national association of insurance men and the new down-town Language Clinic. The Clinic offers courses in eight contemporary lan- guages, particularly those of countries in which we are intimately interested either as foes or allies. Activities of students in the School of Adult Education have been headed this year by presi- dent Gordon Wainwright, vice-president Carolyn Goddard, secretary-treasurer Mary Brown, and activities chairman Margaret Harrison of the Ex- tension Council. Chief social activity was the supper-dance held January 27 at the Blackstone hotel. Director of the School is Mr. E. M. Hosman. He is also chairman of the Committee on Graduate Studies, established this year, a member of the executive committee of the state Victory speak- ers, and chairman of the Baxter Memorial Lec- ture committee.
