In September of 1937 the Class of ,4! began its college career with approximately one hundred and thirty members in its ranks. As we entered the realms of Upsala, we were complete strangers to each other, but as the years sped by we became strong friends and that bond held us together as a class. The first official act of the faculty was to invite us to be their guests in chapel early Thursday morning in order that they might determine our LQ. and give us an English rating. And so we got our first taste of col- lege examseand thus we began our Fresh- man year. The upperclassmen kept us in our place for six long weeks by enforcing Rules upon us. But then that was as it should be or so we say now as we look back in retrospect. Under the capable leadership of Jack Quinn, Bob Dargue, Peggy Doyle and Ken Nickerson, we had a successful social and financial year. Our first year as upperclassmen gave us the opportunity to participate more thor- oughly in fraternal and other campus activi- ties. We were beginning to learn our way around. Jack Becker was our president for that year and nobly aided by Eric Grahn, Karl Ottoson, and Grace Saslow. Usually the Sophomore year is uneventful but ours was not, for we had the opportunity to partici- pate in the inauguration of our new Prexye A memorable occasion that! In the spring we got together and gave a super picnic. The spring elections resulted in a new group of officers at our helm. Jack Lynch was elected President; Louise Ander- son, Vice President; Mary Lou Kent, Secre- tary, and Karl Ottoson, Treasurer. The main event of our Junior year was the Junior re- ception which we faithfully planned and worked on all through the first semester. The Reception was held on February ZISt in honor of the Seniors. This year we found we were really important in campus activi- ties. Our members were leaders in many dif- ferent fields. This was our big college year! SENIOR BOSSEs-Sorenson, Kent, Ottoson, Anderson When we returned to the campus in the fall of 1940, we found ourselves in the Senior rank. Try as we would, we never seemed to achieve our well-deserved senior- ity rights until we donned our caps and gowns. This year Emil Sorenson, Louise An- derson, Mary Lou Kent and Karl Ottoson headed our class. The Senior year sped by so fast that we hardly knew what was happen- ing. Mid-semester exams and vacations ar- rived and somehow we lived through them and through the Spring with our eyes fas- tened 0n the date of June 3rd, when we too, as the class of 1941, would join the classes of the past. Commencement? Yes! Tbirty-om'
