We were properly initiated, and loved getting our caps and that feeling of belonging that they gave. When we returned as sophomores, we eagerly assumed our responsibility to initiate the freshmen. We retained the flag in the mud rush and then settled down to take an active part in campus life. On the gridirion, Bill Knisley, Jim Fenton, and Walter Zach fought for first string positions. As juniors, we began to realize the serious side of college. Came the war and acceleration and college life took on a new sweetness. Our junior prom was the social highlight of the year, with proceeds going to the purchase of a Defense bond. Such names as Al Bagol, Jerry Westendorf, and Ethel Cochran became prominent. Literary lights included Jack Stang, editor of the 1942 Daytonian, and Betty Mayl. Returning for our senior year, we could not help but notice how many of our number had gone to the service of our country. It made us proud, but a Uttle sad. Our year was short and full. We took advantage of every moment of our borrowed time . Outstanding among our ranks were John Murphy, Frank Doorley, Martha Bucher, Joe Overwein and Paul Herking. Page Thirty
