We. the class of group of freshmen learning the ropes at 45, were becoming well-acquainted with Price's mystery halls. Brad's peanut hotter cake, cinnamon buns at the Bakery, and the tradition of Glenwood Memorial. The gala frosh dinner-dance at the Valley Forge Hotel was very deceptive and temporarily removed the sting from the humiliation of pajama parades and green head-hands. ar was declared on Germany, Italy, and Japan that winter, and the administration at I rsinus straightened its laces.

It wasn't until we were sophomores that the male population began to dwindle. There was that never-to-be-forgotten morning when the whole student body climbed out of warm beds and went down to the station at 6:30 to give a royal sendoff to tin boys who were leaving. That year again we found ourselves sharing a stray spoon with live other people until the silverware was discovered in the coal yard. But changes came inevitably, leaving constant only the mystery balls—which remained as much a mystery as ever. In retrospect, our junior year was a record-breaking one. It started off with the entrenchment of the -12 along the IVrkiomen beach head. We benefited by an enlarged, renovated Supply Store; the football team upset Temple 10-6; at our Junior Prom we initiated the custom of selecting a Prom Queen; one of our classmates became the first girl to receive the sanction of the school on “claiming as before to continue her education at I rsinus after marriage proving that only tin invincible combination of love and war is strong enough to alter Ursinus tradition. Quite a number of our classmates speeded up to finish in '44; in turn twenty '46'ers moved in on us. International affairs have dwarfed campus activities this our senior year. Excitement over the appropriation by the girls of the boys’ dormitories, swimming team and track team victories, and black sedans have been forgotten as the nation mourns the death of President Roosevelt and welcomes the arrival of Victory in Europe day. But our joy in the day of partial victory is subdued by memories of our classmates who gave their lives in the early days of conflict and the hundreds of other I rsinus men who are still fighting. 1 r»
