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.

D ICATION To the members of the Class of 1942 who are upholding the ideals and traditions of the University by offering their lives to the cause of American Democracy, We dedicate this volume of the RECORD. There is no greater use that democratic men can perform than serving as enlisted men and officers under the American colors in the nation's eifort to overthrow the forces of arbitrary rule and organized hate now threatening mankind. It is the purpose of every member of the class to make more real this dedication by joining those who have already served either in the service at the front or in the service at home.
