CL:-ft to Rightl fame: F itzhafrif, Robzrt Lund, Eugen: McMullen and Steve Quigley. 0 September of 1940 found members of the Junior class beginning to take on duties which would be wholly theirs in another year as men from among their nurnbers assumed important posts in the student set-up. The Juniors point to the vice-presidency of the All-College Council, the editorship of the Aquin, presidency of a number of clubs and positions on the debate team-all held by Juniors-as proofs of activity. In athletics they claim a large representa- tion on the first string tearns to insure continued success next season. Robert Lund is president of the Junior class with Eugene McMullen, vice-president: James Fitzharris, secretary 5 and Stephen Quigley, treasurer. Father Schabert, Dean of the College, once said that it was hard to decide in what category to put the Sophomores. They haven't been here long enough to be old-timers, yet they can't be treated like youngsters for they would resent it. It is probably because of this that the exact outlines of this class unit are hard to determine. Moreover, many Sophomores are completing pre courses and don't intend to come back to St. Thomas and so do not take too active a part in student life. But mem- bers intending to return have begun in this year to assert themselves and find a place in activities. Officers of the Sophomore class are Robert Shiely, president: John Knox, vice-president: John Murray, secretaryg and Robert Treanor, treasurer. Lo, the Freshmen, a new group of students who found their way to St. Thomas from all over Minnesota and the nation to form the largest class group in the College. They lost little time in organizing themselves and electing class officers, choosing James Sullivan as their president: Donald Woznak, vice- president: Frank O'Meara, secretary: and Ledio Mariani, treasurer. This executive body with the aid of appointed committees planned and presented the first freshmen sponsored dance, the suc- cessful Tommy Pleasure Time Dance, held November 8 to welcome the intro- duction of the new school pep song written by Fred Waring and presented on his nation-wide Chesterfield program the night of the dance.

I As the new school year opened, the Seniors looked for- ward to what seemed would be a long last haul before their College careers would be finished. But as the months began to fly by there didn't seem to be enough time for all that had to be done. The first semester was over before anyone fully realized it and the problem of comprehensive examinations was closer that most seniors thought. In spite of all, the year was taken in stride as the seniors accepted the leadership in student activities and the responsibilities which accompany that leadership. In addition to using their experience in connection with the All-College Council's activities, the Seniors met their
