tL e. President Jim Caruso; Vice President Bob Kennedy Back in the iall of 1941 the Class of ' 45 arrived on campus — about 200 of us — ready for what they call the best years of our life. We were so taken up in the whirl of activities — football games, decorating for homecoming, house parties — that even on Sunday, December 7, we didn ' t realize that from the moment of that radio an- nouncement our entire four years of college changed. If anyone had told us then that of that original number only about twenty of us would graduate at our regular June Commencement we would have laughed, but it ' s not so funny. We, who have been permitted to go ahead and be the Class of ' 45 want to remind you of some things. You remember all the big things about Westminster — all the sentimentality of the tower reflecting on sparkling snow, the green, green grass of spring, the yellows of fall, but there are some little things about us that we want to remember — Jinny Wolfe, our Ideal , Rube Racing With the Moon , Jimmy ' s sax, June Matherson ' s Oscar winning acting. Lefty ' s beard during comps. Hap and Tine, always together, Peggy and Paul, Nels as Student Council President — just little things that bring back big memories. 21

McKee, Brettholc, Graebner, Fv.ins Christy, Neale, Orr BUSINESS Across the hall from the Wallace Me- morial Chapel is located the Business De- partment of Westminster College. It func- tion under the capable leadership of Mr. Captain McKee A. B., A. M., who is a graduate of the Harvard School of Busi- ness Administration. Frank M. Brettholle, B. B. A., M. A., Business Manager and Westminster graduate, is a member of the department. Assistants to Mr. McKee are Mr. Herbert C. Graebner, B. S., M. B. A., and Miss Alona Evans, A. B., Ph. D., who replaced Mr. Enimett Davidson, a member of the department until late in February. BIBLE Juniors conducted classroom discussions on ethics and freshmen filed into the old and new testament classes two days a week Professor John Orr, A. B., M. A., B. D., Ph. D., chairman of the department and professor of both Bible and philosophy, served in a double capacity as temporary dean of the college this year. He was as- sisted by Mr. Wayne Christy, B. A., M. A., who was promoted from an instructor in Bible to an assistant professorship. Dr. Ralph Neale, A. B., B. D., D. D., minister of the local United Presbyterian church assisted as lecturer in Bible. MATHEMATICS With Dr. Harold L. Black, A. B., A. M., Ph. D., doing war research work in Phila- delph ia, Mrs. Wayne Christy is acting head of the Mathematics department. Miss Pa- tricia Jones, A. B., has taken over Dr. Black ' s classes. Since Mathematics is one of the courses specified for students plan- ning to enter the armed services, the be- ginning algebra classes are crowded with male students, who hope to become a Pfc. in a month. Advanced classes, however, are generally made up of women Mathe- matics majors. PUBLIC RELATIONS Prospective students and their parents meet him first — and are convinced through his friendly grin and warm personality that Westminster is the college just made for them. This job of keeping dormitories, halls, and classrooms filled with students falls to William A. Jchns, M. S., Director of Public Relations and Industrial Place- ment. Not only does Mr. Johns greet po- tential students visiting the campus but he travels to homes and high schools looking for new material. Selling the college isn ' t his only job. Mr. Johns also helps candidates for graduation in their search for post-graduation work. Johns
