V FOREWORD Neither as detailed as a diary nor as expansive as a biography, the 1942 RECORD attempts to combine the personal touch of the former with the sweep of the latter, to bring you an epitomized review of your years at the University. It is the hope of the editors that during the coming years of bloody striving, as well as during the peace that will follow, each class mem- ber will find in this volume a source of stimulation for the memories he will carry away with him. It is the hope of the editors that every soldier and every worker to be graduated from this school into the service of his nation will see in the contents of this book a reflection of the very things for which he will be fighting, the American way of life. It will be the memory of these years at college especially, the memory of friends and the democratic way of doing things, about which we were taught, that will prove to be our greatest inspiration in the trying times ahead. It is the hope of the editors that the 1942 Record will prove to be a binding influence in keeping the Class of 1942 together in spirit though they are miles apart. A year of campus life can hardly be encompassed by the covers of a book, but through a panorama of persons, places, and events, this volume has hoped to capture the sole and spirit of the University as well as to add a chapter to its history. ' ADMINISTRATION Presents the University officers, the Undergraduate Council, and the various schools which make up our institution of learning, to the furtherance of education we humbly leave them, with guilty remem- brances of Rowbottoms and secret beer parties. To the youthful Farleys and Roosevelts whose faces adorn the supreme school council, to those who will bring fame to the University, we look back upon the row of Argyle socks with joy and pride. SENIORS Wherein we admire the row of creamy faces, of friends and com- rades, whose friendship we will long remember and hope to holdg whose future portraits will stare augustly from the financial columns, from the government files, and who will be either taxpayers, draft dodgers, or solid members of the sturdy middle and upper classes, but all of whom we know will bring honor upon the Class of '42. HCNOR SOCIETIES Contains the clubs and honorary societies which did so much more to create a satisfactory college life. The immense enjoyments derived out of these extra-curricular activities will be long remembered by the students who threw all their effort into the maintenance of one of these cherished institutions. This section should prove to junior that you actually were in Sphinx as well as Phi Beta Kappa.

PUBLICATIONS The grimy tasks and lasting friendships, the grueling late hours and miserable heeling period, the final recognition of merit are all fiftully rewarded in this representation of college life's finest extra- curricular activity. To those who labored in vain as well as the few fortunate we leave this section with hopes that their efforts will produce even better results in after life. DRAMATICS Hours of rehearsal were well rewarded by public appearance for the future Clark Gables and Myrna Loys who so ably spread the name of the University of Pennsylvania throughout the land by the trips of the Mask and Wig Club, and the Penn Players. To the howling mobs who cheerfully though unvocally followed the Penn songs we dedicate the Band, as well as the activities of the Men About Towne Club. ORGANIZATIONS Here we present the various literary and game societies which gave so much enjoyment through informal meetings, to the students who showed interest in their select activities. The activities of the Zelo- sophic Society and the Philomathean Club, as well as the religious guidance offered by the Christian Association, Newman Club, and Louis Marshall Society help guide the student through many perplexing problems encountered While attending college. FRATERNITIES Much of the enjoyment that college gives an individual is offered by fraternity life, which through its social functions and close friend- ships builds an intangible Warmth which lasts throughout life. Frater- nity life is one of the few things in college which actually builds up the character of the individual 3 and it is to this purpose we are hopeful that those after us conduct themselves so as to permit the continuance of an institution which has so much to offer. SPORTS Contains the history of the 1941-42 sports season. Although Penn- sylvania teams lose occasionally, the performance of the athletes re- cently has been of great satisfaction to the student body. Few athletic seasons have maintained so high a calibre, and this section of sports is probably the most popular in the book. We hope that the quality of the Pennsylvania Record lives up to that of her teams. COLLEGE LIFE Completes the pictorial of University life. Here are the views of the buildings, the campus and the newly enlarged candid section which takes in the informal actions of the student body which wanders around not realizing that some Record photographer is crouched behind the nearest tree, here also the advertisements are presented, gratefully received and highly recommended.
