Bomberger Memorial Hall THE RUBY 19 4 3 Conservation f%Y‘ ViCl rclor y PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS URSINUS COLLEGE -COLLECEVILLE - PEN N A- RSINUS has been our home tor lour years. To some it has meant nothing but study, to others nothing but fun; to most of us it has meant a little ot both. For all, however, our brief stay has been a profound experience. We have grown wiser, more tolerant, and more mature. We have adopted new ideals, and acquired a stronger faith in the old. And more important, we have prepared ourselves to defend and promote these ideals. Not only in battle are we ready to offer our lives, but we are also prepared to devote our lives to the eternal struggle against our real enemies death, tyranny, injustice, want, and ignorance. Yet tor all this, Ursinus means something more. It means friendship and pleasant memories. Books and build' ings alone can not form a college: people professors and students are needed too. Few ot us will remember the dates of the Thirty Years War. or whether Pavlov was a Polish novelist or a Russian psychologist, but we will remember the friends we have met here, and the happy years we have lived together. THF 1943 RUBY has been published by us for the perpetuation of these memories. We do not dedicate it to the memory of one man: instead, we gratefully and humbly dedicate our Ruby to the whole of Ursinus College, which has indeed been our ALMA MATER. Conservation f%V fta etuors icfor 7 Four Sh ort Years Ft 1 K years is a very short time when you sj end them at I’rsinus. Remember how green we were when we arrived on campus a week in advance ol the other students? We thought by the end of the first week that we were going to hr right at home, hut when the up| erclassnien arrived we were lost all over again. We did have spunk though liecanse we began to consider ourselves as a part of the school, but before we had a chance to organize the class, the sophomores put us through our paces, not the least of which was the pajama parade. Much later, it seemed, we elected Mill McAllister president of the class, and with the help of the Juniors managed to keep him out of the grasp of the Sophomores until our lirst official class banquet at the Spring Mountain Mouse. The class of '43 had begun to take root. in the year PMO we came back with paddles and inflated egos. We were the almighty Sophs, and with Danny Met jo wen as our prexie. it was our turn to call the tricks. For the first time in many years, the Soph mores, our class, kidnapped the Freshman president and escorted him to the Freshman banquet in a potato sack. ( ur chests swelled with pride when we held our initial dance. Jim Richards did a good job on the Saint Patrick's Day theme, and our treasury got its first big boost. ( ur members by this time won places in school sports and government, and we felt we really l elonged. In 1941. the Class of M3 returned to I’rsinus with threats of war ringing in our ears. Fvan Morrow was elected president and we prepared to carry on as Juniors should. Then came Pearl Harbor and the war struck home with a vengeance. For a while it was the only topic of campus chit-chat, but we settled down when we were told to do Monday's work on Monday and Tuesday's work on Tuesday. This year we had a whole weekend to call our own. I ud Hay tic headed the committee for the Junior Prom, and the lx autifully simple decorations plus music by the W est Chester Criterions made it one of the best dances in quite a few years. An informal dance on Saturday evening under the direction of Walt Vernon rounded out a swell Junior Week-end. Prior to June 1942. the class had shrunk considerably, but many of the campus leaders proudly called themselves Juniors. Many of the men left I’rsinus that summer knowing they might trade their pencils for a rifle, and might never be able to finish their final year. The summer took its exacted toll of our men. and the next year was to take more, but we returned to school for as much of our Senior year as possible. Once more Moose” Morrow stepped into place as president of the class. We were hack in the groove and it felt good to be a Senior, l imes had changed though, and the gravity of the times and the curfew at John’s sol ered us. The war took increasingly more men all the time, and those few men who stayed were busy filling out army. navy, marine, and income tax forms. These were troubles never before faced by our generation of college students. Six Jn spite l all our woes, we went ahead, and had our tun. The Senior Weekend was a great success. Jim Kaban headed the committee that chose Chuck (Jordon to instill the dancers with that certain drive, and the Curtain Club presented king Around Klizabeth. Despite the man shortage, the whole altair was a credit to the class. Part of our class had attended the first summer school since World War I. and these people were the first in I'rsinus history to graduate at mid-vear. another dubious feather in the cap of the Class of ’43. After this event we could com- fortably hold our class meetings in the smallest room in Horn!Merger. A goodly number of alien Juniors helped swell the class, but at best they were a poor substitute for our own missing members. As Spring approached, the Seniors began laying down their mantles of office to make room for the underclassmen. It was hinted that some Seniors even laid by their liooks. but this rumor is unfounded; for Seniors don’t know what books are. That leaves only the climax—our big day of graduation. May 17th.

Thirty-eight Organizations Conservation iciorij Junior Class OFFICERS ROMKRT IIAINLEY President Jl l.IA I.l’DWICK I 'ice-President MARION BRICHT Secretary ROBERT TRKDINNICK Treasurer LAST spring the Class of '44 elected as its officers. Bob I lainlev. Julia l.udwick. Marion I .right, and Boh Tredinnick. Since that time the memliership of the Junior Class has l een drastically re«luced. e | eciall as tar as it men are concerned. Many in the Class attended the summer session and are graduating: with the Class of '4.f. Still another large segment of the Class has gone into the service of Cncle Sam's armed forces. In fact, the '44’ers finished the year without a president, after Boh I lainley's departure for the Army Air Corps in February. Despite these difficulties, the Class carried out successfully all it functions under the capable leadership of its remaining officials. The election of Freshmen officers was sujicrvised. and good care taken of the newly elected president. John Keefe, to insure his arrival at the annual Freshman Banquet, which was held at the Valley Forge Hotel in Norristown. A very fine Junior Party was held February 19th. with David Krusen in the role of chairman, and Mr. Bailey sii| ervising the games. Junior Week-end was a booming success, with Chairman Bob Young and his committee doing an excellent job on the Junior Prom. Bud Rader played for this dance which was held on Friday. March 26th. the night of the memorable thirty minute blackout, fhe following evening the Junior ( ass in conjunction with the Curtain Club presented a very professional dramatization of “The Cat and the Canary. Fort i) So ph a marc Class Till'- Soph Rules Committee headed by John Fletcher started oft’ the activities of the 1942-43 session by informally greeting the incoming Freshmen. The traditional pajama parade was replaced by a tug-of-war between the frosh and the sophs, which the sophs considered a wet affair. In spite of the Sophomore's desire to escort the Freshman president to his banquet, the Juniors usurped the honor. The sophomore class bolstered Fete Steven’s Bears with (ireen. Kilcullen. Fletcher. Jones. Meagher, (ioeckler. Fetch, and Suflas. Walt Hunt and Karl Reimer occupied varsity lierths on the wrestling team; and the Intramural All-Star Basketball Team included two sophomores, George Moore, and dene Massey. Betty Bradwav. Shirley Klein, and Tess I'instead helped Miss Snell complete a most successful year in basketball, and hockey. ()n April 9th. the Sophomore class played host to the student body at the last big dance of the year, the Soph Hop. Music was furnished by the Collegians under the leadership of Dave Levitsky, and the theme of the hop was a Spring Mardi Gras. Bev Cloud, a soph, made like Dinah Shore, while the Tune Town Trio gave forth with sjKcial jive. The whole affair was under the tutelage of Gene Massey aided by a committee of four classmates.

Xeat black how ties, black socks, and diminutive dinks ” replaced the gaudy red togs of previous autumns. The usual green ribbons still held sway, however. Another digression from custom was occasioned by the substitution of a tug-of-war in place of the usual pajama parade. In this event, the freshmen achieved an overwhelming victory. I he officers of the Junior Class made all arrangements for the Freshman banquet in greatest secrecy, and newly-elected president. John Keefe, was spirited away by his roommates, only to reappear in time for the gala dinner-dance, which was held on campus this year. Several of the frosh won berths on I’ete Steven’s varsity eleven. The Class was also represented on the basketball squad that played an abbreviated schedule. The girls, too. were active in hockey and basketball, and C oach Snell used freshmen in both varsitv and J. V. play. Xor was the Class inactive in other college activities.

I wish to express my deep and sincere thanks to ROBERT L. COOKE. JR., the actual editor of this yearbook, whose entry into the riny Air Corps in Kebruary was a loss to I’rsinus. to our class, and to the 1943 Ruby. 11 i untiring lal ors. his imaginative ideas, and his immeasurable work on the senior section greatly simplified my task, and made the publication of an annual possible. I should like to express my appreciation to the CLASS of 1943 for choosing me to try inadequately to till Bob’s shoes. I am indebted to a large number of people for their small but necessary contributions to the Ruby. Not only for his capable work as Business Manager, but also lK-cause of his unstinting efforts in writing and rewriting copy. I am grateful to CHARLES S. CASSEL. ()n his hehalt I would like to cite HERBERT B IAXZ. the Advertising Manager, for his tine work in selling advertising; W'AL JAMILS of the Philadelphia-Weeks Engraving Company for technical advice and friendly, interested service; BYROX ROC KEY of the Clark Printing House for still more advice, and MARCl'S YORO of the Sarony Studio for the photography.
