JUNIORS McFarlane, Duff, English In early fall, the juniors started off the year with the class election. Mae English was chosen as president to lead her class- mates. Her assistants were Mildred Duff, vice-president, and Ruth McFarlane, secre- tary-treasurer. During the sixth war bond drive, the class took an active part. With the clever adver- tising abilities of Charlotte ttFinkletl Weeks and Jeanne Olsen, the drive was well pub- licized. Many of the juniors were active in school organizations. Their interests were varied from dramatics to athletics. Betty Hanley, president of Delta Psi Omega, honorary dramatic fraternity, and also president of Thespian, was one of the active juniors. Another important drama- tist was Irene Tischer who took part in many of the school productions. Juniors also took over offices in many of the school organizationseMildred Duff pre- siding over Commercial Club and Winnie Little Wielding the gavel over Scrooby. Journalistic-minded students in the junior class holding important positions on the school paper were Ruth McFarlane, editor- in-chief; Betty Gluch, managing editor; Marge Hall, news editor; and Laura Derosier, business manager. The Woments Athletic Association was led this year by a junior, Marjorie Hall. Marge has been active in sports through all her col- lege career, participating in numerous sports events. 26 For the first time in the Minneiskals his- tory a junior became editor. Marian Benson stepped up from assistant editor to take over the responsibility of putting out the school annual of 1945 under wartime restriction of materials. In September, 1942, there were one-hun- dred and twenty-three freshmen with high hopes of four years of college life. However, during the course of the succeeding two years the number has dwindled to forty jun- iors. Despite the fact that the class has lost so many members, it has remained an im- portant and active part of the college and its activities. The guiding hand of Dr. H, G. Lee as class sponsor aided the junior class. One of the projects undertaken in previous years was the junior prom. In 1942, due to wartime conditions, the prom was eliminated tem- porarily. The social life of juniors as well as the other classes was lax this year. Many of the other activities besides the prom have been suspended until after the war. When the students again return to college after the war has been won; life will go on as usual. Parties, dances, and informal get-togethers will highlight the junior social calendar, once again. Many members of the junior class were affiliated with honorary scholastic organiza- tions. In the early fall they were initiated, and in the short time since, they have be- come active members. Juniors participated actively in school events and enjoyed a highly successful year.
