IILASS HISTUHY HAT is the senior class this year? Classes now are not measuredby a tour year yarclsticlc, but by crowded days and weelcs, and the members of classes are uni- fied not by the year in which they are grad- uated and a common range of experience but by a more subtle bond that reaches baclc into time for a memory and thrusts into the future for an ideal. Freshman weel: was a whirlwind of activi- ties - exams, the presidentys reception, dan- ces, a picnic at the beach and, best of all, the forming of a new friendships. College life loolced long and bright. How could we lcnow that within the year the cheers we sent up for our victory over the Sophomores on Univer- sity Day would be changed to prayers for a far greater victory. Under our ofhcersg president, Red Croryg vice-president, Joyce Smithg secretary, Bar- bara Shepherd, and treasurer, .lo Strumslai we soon made our presence felt on Campus. We had freshman teams in football, baseball, la- crosse, hoclcey and baslcetball. Members of our class became active in Outing Club, Mite and Dial, the Debating Society, student pub- lications, etc. in preparation for becoming leaders later on. But December seventh saw the fall ot Pearl Harbor and with it all our dreams of individ- ual glory and the pursuit ot individual happi- ness. A lot ot us began to help out at the meetings of the Durham Red Cross, left oft having fun and began to consider ourselves as students at war. Some ot our number left to join the armed services and there began to be tallc ot an accelerated school program. ln accordance with such a program, we re- turned to school in October, where we dis- covered that courses in shop practice and welding had become popular with the girls, and that phys. ed. classes had talcen on the rigor of army training. ln fact the girls became such Amazons that a Lite photographer tools pictures while they paraded around in shorts on a day made memorable by its extreme Cold. s Our otticers this year were president, Joe Strumslcig vice-president, Joyce Smith: secre- tary. Barbara Shepherdg and treasurer, Phil Pallas. We began to strut our stutt when some of our class became stars on the unde- feated football team. tHow Hall bell rung out the victories that year.J We were right there when it came to electing the Hmayorn of Durham, and our Ann Miller and .toe Riccardone starred in ltlaslz and Daggerls play Arsenic and Old Lace. Despite these triumphs war was taliing its toll ot our members, and the coming ot spring saw the virtual end ot us as a unified class. Halt our members lett by the end ot the hrst semester to join the army and navy, and the ASTP and STAR units marched in to talze their places. Though we continued to study, College was a Hremember whenn sort of at- tair f- a faded corsage, a crumpled football score, a well-loved subject of discussion among those who had lqnown what Hit used to be lilcef, Vxfell, we tools it in our stride - the end ot college activities, the mixed up classes of the Following Fall. Vxfe watched some ot our classmates go on ahead ot us. welcomed others to our ranlts, and saw many others leave us tor all time. And we did all this to a Hcadence count a pace that the army taught us. lt allowed us time to write air mail letters every day, buy war stamps in the booth at lxlurlcland. study and entertain the Aglpls. Though activities were pared to the mini- tConiinued on Page 655
