June 4, i948 saw the graduation of another class of teachers-to-be from W. S. T. C. Enough false and flowery phrases have been written of classes before and it should nicely suffice to say this class left behind a good record of work well done. Our Senior Class experienced the unusual conditions brought about by the war. Our ranks were small in number September, l944 on Enrollment Day because of the large num- ber of men still on foreign soil because of war conditions. Our numbers swelled measurably the following year with the return of men who had had their studies interrupted. The Vet- erans C o I I e g e Green provided permanent homes, and servicemen's children and wives were numerous about campus. Their return, in all the college classes, was welcomed because with it they brought the r e t u r n of football, conference basketball, dances in the Hamilton Gym, full functioning of the various fraternities, as well as numerous other activities. During l947-48 the programs of many Seniors were crowded with responsibilities other than class participation. Bruce Straw, after an October class election found himself President of the classy Don McGibbon, Vice President, Arlyne Stieber, Secretary-Treas- urer, Helen Gaukel, Student Welfareg Doris Capelle, Convocation Committee. Richard Sullivan was President of Phi Chi Epsilon, as well as Chairman of the Homecom- ing Committee. Jeanette VanderVeIde was 7fae genial: Slaaq- Senior Class officers: Secre- tary-treasurer Arlyne Stie- ber, President Bruce Straw, and Vice-president Donald McGibbon at the conference table. i261 President of Alpha Sigma, Helen Eggert of Sigma, Sigma, Sigma, and Bruce Straw of Sigma Tau Gamma. Len Stekiel held the Presidentship of Mer- cier and Gordon Friang made Honorable Men- tion on the All-Conference team. Iris Allen led Commercial Club through another success- ful year. Janet Huebner was Editor-in-Chief of the l948 MINNEISKA, and also held an Editorial Advisorship on The Royal Purple. Further journalistic work was done by Helen Eggert as Assistant Editor of The Royal Purple during the second semester. ----Many other Senior men and women partici- pated actively on the many committee groups necessary to complete functioning of the academic-social groups on campus. Dr. Henry G. Lee was asked to be Class Sponsor and after graciously accepting im- mediately began working with the class on plans for graduation. A class picnic, Baccalauerate, Honor Day and a concert sponsored by the combined musical groups were some of the events of Senior Week. This year the class sponsored a two and one-half hour play which incorporated the idea of W. S. T. C.'s coming 80th Anni- versary of founding, and the Wisconsin Cen- tennial. This new feature had been decided upon instead of the Pageant of Arts. Because there were no formal graduation exercises in February, some of the grads returned in June for their class exercises.
