We had V ' found our niche, and things ran smoothly, pleasantly, buoyantly. We began to exert some influence in campus affairs, finally succeeding in winning an election to a year office.

Filled with a feeling of warmth and mellowed by greetings from familiar voices, no longer were we terrified as we basked on the sunny steps, exchanging summer reminiscences. We were confident that this was to be a wonderful year, and we took great delight in impressing the frosh with our importance. This was the year we mustered up enough courage to try out for the Follies, and even though we only appeared on the stage once, we felt somehow that we were an important part of the show. The rehearsals grew tiring and the gags became steadily worse. but when the crowd roared with laughter on the big night and we experienced for the first time the glamour of footlights and grease-paint, we felt I fully repaid. However, all too soon the realization was forced upon us that second year was a tough academic hurdle.

We achieved athletic distinction this year when the rugby team defeated S.P.S. for the first time in history, and we finished high in the race for intramural sport supremacy. This was the busiest year of all, and in many ways the saddest. Added to the sadness of leaving and the usual problems of what to do after graduation, were the abnormal Worries and responsibilities arising from the increasing gravity of the war. Many hours a week we devoted to military training, and one by one our friends slipped away to join the fighting ranks. To look ahead seemed almost futile, for only con- fusion lay there. It seemed scarcely possible when we sat down at the Graduation Banquet that our college days were practically over. But no matter what the future may hold in store, nothing will ever erase for us the memory and the meaning of those four years at U.C. QV! 435 A EVE! ' IE E I -A Ao' 2, ff Was 09'
