NEW BEGINNING essed with energy and ambition we wore out ourselves and our shoes selling Christmas cards, we sponsored dances and had paper drives, we planned a card party and presented a thriller called Hobgoblin House. Meanwhile we jeal- ously hoarded all proceeds from these adventures, our hearts set on going to Washington. Ending the year, we said farewell to the class of '4l with a dance and reception executed in the cabaret style of South America. ln the fall of l94l , we all felt a little queer. One could hear now and then the confidential whisper, But l don't feel like a senior! l-lowever, that superior senior feeling came when our school turned out one of the best football teams of all times, beating jeff by a large score. While we were com- pleting our plans for the trip to Washington, the japs decided that we should convert our energies into the selling of defense stamps, and now we have the never-before-recorded situation of a senior class with over S900 in its treasury and the problem of what to do with it. Because twenty-three of our class entered Purdue on May 4, a pre-Gala Week event was a Sunrise Dance and Breakfast at Lincoln Lodge. Skidding, our senior play, will be presented May l4 and l5, and other plans for Gala Week to be fulfilled at graduation time will include a steak fry, a senior night, the junior-senior prom, and a cap and gown dance. Senior officers for the class of '42 are Charles Lange, president, Bob Barnes, vice president, Elizabeth Girvin, secretary, and Bob Schubert, treasurer.

The juniors sponsored a successful supernatural mixer on Hal- loween Eve, and then turned all efforts to the selection of a class play. Youth Takes Over , directed by Miss Dorothy Brown, was presented to two enthusiastic audiences in February. Rodney Steinmetz and john Guthrie, as president and vice- president, with Mary Alice Ross and Martha Nell Nicol, as sec- retary and treasurer, aided by the able sponsorship of Mr. Carl Hammer, have served as class officers during this year. Committees are now hard at work planning decorations, music, and the other details which will constitute a memorable recep- tion. The class, aware that this year's reception may be the last for some time, is striving to make it the best yet . THE SOPHOMORE CLASS The up and coming Sophomore Class is. just becoming recon- ciled to being the greenhorns around the school. lt has taken a long time to drill into them that, though Sophomores, they must act like Freshmen, Their first meeting was held on December IZ, l94l, and a nominating committee was appointed by the acting chairman, Lillian Oyler. At the second meeting, officers were elected. Dick Bushnell was elected president, jim Donham, vice-president, Lillian Oyler, secretary, and Elizabeth Young, treasurer. The sophomores, who are under the sponsorship of Mrs. Mueller, are working out their tentative schedules for the rest of their high school courses. As an activity, the class has helped with a paper drive which the school sponsored for the Council for Civilian Defense. The sophomores are in charge of decorations for the baccalaur- eate and commencement services. Members of the class usher for these important occasions. The class is generously supplied with football and dramatic talent, beauty and brains. lt is our prophecy that an outstanding career lies ahead of them.
