After the election of 'Eddie Lord as our president the formation of the class of 44 began to materialize. It seems that the entire campus was in an uproar when the sophomores kidnapped Ed. They produced him at the Valley Forge Hotel just in time for him to miss dessert at our Freshman Banqu et. Our Sophomore year brought us the privilege of giving our first dance as a class. Arno Kuhn, our second president, chose a committee which did up the ‘Soph Hop' in fine style. Joe Troppe and Kitty Harbach also worked capably as 'Soph Rule' chairmen. It was this year, too, that brought us the war. The news shook the campus. For a time things remained unchanged, but slowly many men of the class were called to the colors. They are not forgotten, and we shall always remember them as part of Ursinus and of the class of '44. With the beginning of sum.ner school in 1942, our class began to acquire new members and lose old ones. Those who were accelerated were greatly missed, but the new classmates were welcome and seemed adequately to fill their shoes. We returned to our junior year withwonder-- had the war changed things drastically? Would it affect us? Things were very different. The war had taken a great toll of the men. There was a much more serious air about our college life, and studies were pursued more vigorously. There was above all the necessity of adjusting to a rapidly changing Ursinus. Nevertheless, our third year was not without its share of enjoyment. We were entitled to give a big event on campus--the Junior Prom. And what a gala affair it was! Bob Hainley, our president, gave spirit and ambition to our class in this period of war. During the year we gave several class dances in the upper dining room-- all very informal, but loads of fun. In spite of the war we came back in the fall of 1943 resolved to make the best of conditions that were forced upon us. It was our senior year and we were determined to have a memorable one. Jim Marshall, our last president, aided us greatly in this aim. During our absence in the summer the Navy had established a V-12 unit at Ursinus. The men were trained by their own personnel but shared many classes with the civilians. Their arrival changed the campus considerably. A military air prevailed,and most of us felt proud and flattered that the Navy was a part of our college. The sailors enlivened campus activities. ‘Mid-Week Hops' were given for their enjoyment and the gym was predominately dotted with suits of navy blue. The navy men counteracted the Ursinus man shortage, and helped to make the Senior Ball a successful termination to our dance-giving at Ursinus. SOPH RULES INITIATION OLD TIMERS' DAY NOVEMBER I 940 And now, the last step graduation. We find that those who were with us only last year at this time have left. Last September, Betty Boger, 'Tex Currens, Betty Freeman, Dorothy Graninger, Marian Grow, •Kitty Harbach, Ken Hayes, Tom Schonfeld, Dean Steward, Bob Tredinnick, and Alice Zimmerman all left us; while Inge Benda, Jim Boswell, Ethel Detwiler, 'Ag' Dyer, Peg Heller, Jean Smyth, Glen Stewart, ‘Tris Ter-showska, Janet Weierbach, Jeanne Wisler, Charlotte Wo 1fe, andJane Zulick departed in February. Yet these four years seem very short as we recall them. The events of our college days will never escape from our memories. For all of us, Ursinus has been a profitable, a pleasant, and a paramount experience. RITA M. BARTHOLOMEW Potts town, Pa. English ‘Quiet persons are welcome everywhere.'

The V-12 unit at Ursinus College was established on the first of July, 1943. However, about the first of June, the present Captain arrived to begin the monumental job of setting up the unit. Promptly on the appointed date the first influx of officer candidates arrived. Men, who had, in some cases, traveled half the continent, presented themselves at Eger Gateway. What they had been or who they were was of little importance now. It was what they would become that mattered. At first the mutual feeling was that of indecision and wonderment. However, in what seemed a very short length of time, buildings, classrooms, and Ursinus herself became more familiar to them. The 'Skipper'of the station, Lt. G. D. Miner, who is in charge of the entire unit, and his assistant. Ensign Heffernan, the executive officer, helped them adjust quickly to the naval routine. The Chief Specialists, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Cunningham, began superintending the athletic activities and making the inspections of the personnel and barracks during the week. Other enlisted men served as assistants to the Chiefs and still others maintained the sick bay. Very soon after arrival, the unit was divided into two companies, each of which was sub-divided into platoons. In command of the battalion and of each of its divisions there were men picked from the unit itself. Almost immediately the V-12'ers began to participate in many of the extra-curricular activities Ursinus has to offer. The football team was backed to a large extent by navy men. The basketball team utilized the talent of many sailors. And even today, the as yet untried baseball team includes many members from the boys in blue. Dramatically, the men have starred, too. The Curtain Club found its group enriched by navy personnel of which several of the boys have had leading roles in their productions. Despite their very busy life, the V-12'ers have managed to find time for expressions of amusement. Recreation rooms have been established and several dances throughout the year have been sponsored by them. The two big navy formals attracted many people both from among the boys in blue and from among the civilians. The navy unit has been here three semesters There is a world of difference bet Ween the raw recruits of July, 1943 and the polished organization of today. Even though some of the men are deck officer can- didates, some basic candidates, others pre-medical students, and still others V-5, or flight officer candidates, they have all come to work and train together as a finished unit. They have seen their ranks thinned many times. They have seen their ‘mates transferred, and they have welcomed into their battalion men from the fleet and new men from civilian life. But these trainees have adjusted tothe V-12 program and are stri- ving for the goal for the attainment of which they were originally sent to Ursinus. Those who finish their respective courses here will be transferred to other locations and will ultimately be commissioned in the Nava 1 Service. The V-12 plan is new one. But it has not been started merely to last for the duration. The government will probably want to train men at school after the war, and the ideas and tactics that were found successful now will regulate the new training programs.

THE SENATE The Senate was created this year to work in coordination wi th the Women’s Student Council. It is composed of one representative from each of the girls’ dormitories, and carries tothe Council any problem that may a-rise in dormitory or campus li fe. Through the Senate, student government became more active. Apparently ineffective rules and regulations were either a-bolished or revised and more practical ones created. This organization has helped to produce understanding and a new sense of responsibility among Ursinus girls. Seated: Dean, Walton, Titzck, Kircher, Djurop.

This year a large share of the credit is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Donald L. Helfferich, whose coaching and productive abilities have resulted in an array of plays, successful both financially and artistically The two plays which wert presented publically this year were 'Arsenic and Old Lace' and 'Jupiter Laughs'. The former, a fast-moving comedy,and the latter, a more serious type per forraance, both contained some of the most professional acting that Ursinus has ever displayed. The whole-hearted cooperation of its officers and committee chairmen and the excellent coaching of the Helfferichs made this year the most successful the club has had for some time. THE COMB I NED WEEKLY STAFF THE URSINUS WEEKLY The Weekly is the only Ur sinus publication devoted exclusively to news. This year, under the guidance of its editor, Marion Bright, (who proved that the female is as capable as the male), twenty-four issues were presented to the students. A new feature was a service that sent more than three hundred copies each week to graduates and ex-Ursinus students in the armed forces. This paper is governed by a Board of Control composed of both students and faculty.

FALL SPORTS VARSITY FOOTBALL The Bears see plenty of action. Opening the season away from home with only two weeks practice, Ursinus dropped a 12 - 0 game to Swarthmore. Two weeks later F. M. applied a 21 - 0 pasting to the Bears. Against Willow Grove the Bears showed marked improvement and completely outplayed the Hellcats only to drop a tough one 6-0. The next Friday night -- a night long to be remembered in Ursinus Athletics -- our underdog eleven out-fought and out-gamed the superior squad of Temple University 10 - 6. The victory over Temple was a fitting farewell toCoach Pete Stevens who soon left for the Army. Not for years had there been such spirit as the Navy V-12 ’ers injected into a team which they could only temporarily call their own. Although the season was short and the chances were few for the Bears to prove their worth, the squad again showed its traditional fine spirit in both victory and defeat. Ursinus tangles with opponents on the home field. VARSITY SOCCER Ursinus’s soccer team closed the season with a record of two wins and one defeat, suffered at the hands of a powerful Penn eleven. In the initial contest on October 23 the Bakermen came through with a 2 - 1 victory over Haver ford for the first triumph over that college in twelve years. Dick Fink and Ted Marchese scored the goa1s . The Bears went out of their class the following week to play the University of Pennsylvania and lost 5-0, afterholding the larger school scoreless the first half. In the finale, Ursinus played its best game in vanquishing the Haver ford Army Unit 4-2. Simons scored twice, wh i1e Ma rchese and Mazer each boo ted one in. ARCHIE SIMONS Transportation and scheduling difficulties prevented more games from being arranged. Winner of a berth on the All-American Soccer Team, he also plays with the Philadelphia Nationals .

VARSITY HOCKEY This year the girls’ hockey team, captained by Jeanne Mathieu and with Miss Snell's capable coaching, had one of its best seasons. The team was undefeated, neither losing nor tying anv games. Four of the girls - Jeanne Mathieu, Marion Bright, Betty Bradway, and Ann Harting - made the Middle Atlantic All-Co liege Team. Seven of the girls are leaving, but with 'Brad' as captain, next year’s team is bound tokeep up the good work. SCORES Ursinus 3 A 1umna e 0 • 1 2 Chestnut Hill 0 0 3 Bryn Mnwr 0 1 2 Tempie 0 0 4 E.

St M. 19 - 13. It was their first victory over F. M. in wrestling inhistory and marked the end ofa string of 53 straight victories that the F. fit M. matman had compiled over a five year period. Stan Green and Dick Schellhase took the job of managing and coaching on their respective shoulders and making no promises proceeded to mold the best wrestling team Ursinus has had in several years.

The most thrilling game of the year occurred when the Bears climaxed a steady uphill fight to nip the highly favored Philadelphia Coast Guard quintet 55 - 54 in as exciting a finish as has ever been staged in the Bears’ gym.

WOMEN’S VARSITY BASKETBALL The women’s basketball team, although not sostrong as usual this year, lost only two games, winning or tying the other seven. Despite the fact that some of the girls were playing their first year of varsity, they made a good showing for themselves under the capable leadership of Miss Snell and captain Marion Bright. Jay Vee Coach Hogeland had no trouble picking two creditable teams from the many girls who turned out for practice. Although four of the varsity girls are leaving, there seems to be plenty of good material to take their places next year.

He helped us to budget and offered some good advice and suggestions. The 'photo offset style of printing is a new one in the ‘Ruby realm, but it has proved very neat, efficient, and above all, economical. To HARRY HOLLANDER and JOSEPH FELDMAN of the Hollander and Feldman Studios I wish to express my appreciation for their splendid photographic work. JOHN LYVER and 0. D.

At first it looked as though there would be no yearbook because of the many obstacles involved. But with the realization that we had only one chance to compile the memories of four priceless years, we made the best of the difficulties, combining our energies and cooperating to the fullest extent. Once again I say the task has truly been a pleasant one. Here it is--THE 1944 RUBY. I hope you like it! THE EDITOR
