 1940 - 4! mid-year. Orian Madsen, Ruth Chrouser, Ruth Thompson, Phyllis Eckels. Beverly Hoppenstedt, Brldgetta Fleischman, Jeannette Rich, and Thelma Peterson are some who pledged sororities at the same time. We also should acknowledge the freshmen who keep the refreshment centers going. The current freshman class has again been prominent socially on the campus— they entered into all the recreational activities and never let a class officers—President, Jimmy Smith; Vice-president. Esther Moreau; Secretary, Winnie Leykom; and Treasurer, Dan Durkee. They filled their offices well. We must include the fine freshmen bowlers like Allan Nueske and Bill Winsor (who is just a freshman at heart), and those comely misses who provided themselves as dates for Negard, Fisher and Vincent; in addition to those coke-loving CROUP 3 Row 1—M.

— eil men We come to college, having left high school as dignified seniors, full of the respect and admiration given us by the underclassmen of our prep school days. But here we must step down to the lowly ranks of freshmen again, underprivilged and inferior. It is hard for us to forget our previous superiority, but in time we adjust ourselves to being mice rather than men. But we are full of hopes and aspirations, since we know that soon we are to become the sophomores of the year 1941-42, and will have regained some of our long-lost privileges. Into the school with such an attitude came the class of '44, and, like all the previous classes, feeling a little skeptical about the whole situation; but they have banded together into a very useful and worthwhile organization, and have entered into the midst of school life to maintain a record worthy of any freshman class. This year's crop of Freshmen has brought us many illustrious and noteworthy personalities, for out of the ranks of the green have come outstanding figures in all the walks of school life... From the class of '44 we have such fine athletes as Ray Warren, Ray Terzynski, Denny Helixon, basketballers all—and of all-conference caliber too; Ted Shrake and Or land Radke, boxers; Jay Swett, Bob Schunk, and Harold Lyon, up and coming footballers... In the musical organizations we have Mike Mlissett, Merle Jenks, Ruth Lindsay. James Salay, Charles Larsen, and Harvard Erdman (the Gene Krupa and mainstay of the College Playboys' rhythm section)... In dramatics, Ray Minton, Frank Friday, Bill Fryer, Esther Moreau, and John Cowan loomed forth as possibilities for the future... Well worthy of mention are such good students as Dorothy Bever-sdorf, Jacqueline Stauber, Paul Jedamus, Jeanne Peters, Fred Wink (who. incidentally, is no slouch as an athlete, either), Kathleen Schaefer, Herman Wedderkop, and Anita Campbell... Then, too, we cannot forget those who shined their lights in the lesser fields like photographer Paul Paster-nacki, Jr., and artist Bunny Glisczinski... From the Freshman class came our three able cheer leaders, Billy Eichhom, Mike Blissett, and June Todd. Not to be overlooked are the sports enthusiasts: Jack Rasmussen, Alice Grube, and Mary GROUP 1 Row 1—L. Brock, L. Anderson, H. Burant. G. Benthe, A. Andorsen, I. Peters. M. Blissett, C. Gear. O. Livingston. Row 2—R. Brown, J. Broun, M. Adams, J. Albertie, D. Wright, D. Bolongia, E. Borgen, L. V. Barnum, A. Britten, H. Wedderkop, A. Lloyd. Row 3—D. Beversdorf, D. Bestul. E. Bosinski, E. Brylski, L. Christ, E. Artz, A. Severs, A. Campbell, D. M. Averill, M. Berger. Row 4—J. Stauber, C. Yoder, S. Schmidt, T. Parrott, B. J. Coates, H. Kaufman. V. Schotz, L. Bauemfelnd, J Bowersock Row 5—J. Swett, Krueger, B. Schunk, Borchardt, V. Cammach, D. Becker. GROUP 2 Row 1—J. Cowan. J. Edwards. R. Cooper, R. Daniels. A. Fahrnor, H. Erdman, G. Harvoy. D. Hanson. Row 2—A. Beadle. I. A. Curia. M. Francis, B. Ellman, M. E. Condon, J. Jossart, A. Grube, B. Eichorn, B. Fleischman, M. Hickey. Row 3—M. Cole, I. Dobbs, B. Cornwell, M. Krueger, L. Chylek, L. Fox. D. Drew. E. Clark, A. Prentice. Row 4—S. Fonstad. M. Crummey, V. Clark. P. Eckels, R. Chrouser, M. Collins, M. Dean, H. Firkus, E. Hales. Row S—T. Kurtzwoil, R. Craig, D. Durkee, F. Friday, B. Coates, E. Gardnor. K. Geer; or the pinballers par excellence, Jiggs Cam mack and Nip Krueger. We must not omit the downright good sports and fine friends like Kay Laumer, Gus Pentz, Dan Durkee, Eddy Lawrence, and Ruth Michelsen. Rushing season of the second semester proved that these kids were not scholastic drudges. Merle Jenks, Jerry Neuenfeldt, Orland Radke, Bob Torkelson, Norm Wanta, Frank Stec-kel, Bob Menzel, and Glenn Hebert are some of the freshman fellows who joined fraternities at — 14 —
