O. Radke V. Clark J. Thompson J. Swett President Treasurer Secretary Vice-President HiMU l GlaH, Although the ranks of the Junior Class have become smaller and smaller since two years ago when they were that outstanding Freshman Class, they still have many bright lights keeping up the good work of the class. However, we know that most of these people who have left their class have gone on to be bright lights in the great victory school. They are striving to save our own and other schools, so that we may have academic freedom always. Some of our outstanding Juniors, even though they were not here to finish out the school year, did many things to make us very proud of them. On the gridiron the Juniors were well represented. Some of these, our football heroes, are Jay Swett, Bob Schunk. Fred Fink and Jerome Brecht. In basketball we have outstanding Juniors too, such as Jack Rasmussen. Edwin Szy-manski, Orland Radke and Jim Sullivan. The Junior girls too are well represented in the Girls Glee club. Some of the songsters are Jan Thompson, Ruth Michelsen, Gladys Pils, Marie Wipperfurth, Etta Louise Owen. Helen Rasmussen. Ruth Thompson, Lettie Got-chy, Ruth Lindsay, Carol Ockerlander, Eileen Kobs and Brigetta Fleischman. Other outstanding musicians are Neosha Stay, John Edwards, Ruth Chrouser, Charles Larsen, Jack Rasmussen and Betty June Frost. On the stage the Juniors were exceptionally prominent. Lillian LaMarche, Bob Handeyside, Charles Wildermuth and Dan Durkee are a few who helped to put on some grand performances this year. Not to be outdone in athletics by the boys, we have many Junior girls taking part in a variety of sports — Alice Grube, Gladys Pils, Kitty Kelly, Bunny Glisczinski, Gen Smith, Lois Bauernfeind and Mae Hoffman. As for publications, the Juniors have really done a splendid job—Fred Fink started his work as editor of the Iris, and the work was ably carried on by Violet Joyce, after Fred's call to service. The Pointer staff boasts of many Juniors. Gladys Pils, Marjorie Prey, Jackie Stauber, Jan Thompson, Virginia Clark, Dave Hennick and Bob Handeyside helped to put out the 20

In February after the Army Reserves and the Air Corps Reserves were called in, there were only a few Junior boys remaining in school. Some of those who left to fight for Uncle Sam in these branches of the service are: Roy Arndt, Ray Craig, Everett Gardner, John Edwards, Jay much for the Juniors to do in carrying on the work of these people in school. Indeed, they have done their work and have done it well. We know that our former friends in school, wherever they may be, can be very proud, for the class of 1944 is a great class. Many of the Juniors were elected by their classmates and members of organizations to belong to the Student Council and have done a lot of work in carrying out student government at Central State Teachers College.

Because of the fact that there were fewer social functions than usual to attend during the latter part of the year, the students had more time to spend on their studies. Some of the Juniors started practice teaching during the second semester, something that is entirely new at Central State Teachers college. These students did a fine job of their v ork at the Training School even though they were only Juniors. In the scholastic field also many Juniors were elected to the honorary fraternities. Some of these were Betty June Frost, Jacqueline Stauber, Marjorie Prey and Violet Joyce. As many of the Seniors were called away from school, some to do their part in winning the war, and some to go out and teach, there was It is very easy to see that the seriousness of the present war situation has been fully realized by the college students of today. The Juniors, especially, perhaps even more than the underclassmen. have grown to understand the importance of doing things and of making the most of everything they do, whether it is scholastically or in other school activities. They realize, too, that the many v ho have gone from Central State Teachers college, also have important things to do. Those at home are going to do everything that they possibly can to make it easier for these people to do a great job. So, if the Junior class keeps up the good work that it has done during this past year and other years in school, its members will be well fitted to meet and cope with the difficult tasks which lie ahead. 31
