Well known for licr active membership in so many organ- izations, Harriet Sarver might well be known as Westminster ' s busiest person. She has been called the most titled student, and her interests range from WAA presidency to dramatics Oscar winner. Billie Jean Seal ' s dancing ability and sense of humor are her outstanding traits. She and Waxi could show anyone some new dance steps. Jim Reed is one of our returned service men, having re- turned to school after receiving a medical discharge from the Navy.

Bottom: Margaret McLane, Marion Moore, Virginia McConnell, Marion McNary, Barbara Miller; top: Helen Newhams, Eleanor McMichael. Jane Sheppard ' s voice has made her the feminine Sinatra of Westminster, and no program has been complete all year with- out a selection by her. As well as a voice, the music major has scholastic ability, and has been asked to join quite a few honor- aries. Excitable Betty Sheffler, active on the Holcad staff as a copy editor, helped make the formations in the water pageant as a member of Mermaids. She sings in the Women ' s A Cappella choir and was one of the prize- winning singers of the Sing and Swing. Ruth Stoehr, efficient editor of the Holcad for two years; member of Pi Delta Epsi- lon, the journalism honorary; member of Scroll, honorary Eng- lish society; and an active con- tributor to Scrawl, campus liter- ary magazine; is, of all things, and strangely enough, a history, Pud McLane was the editor of the spring issue of Scrawl, and has added the harmony to Janet ' s melody on many occasions. She, too, is a Holcad worker. Marion Moore, a business administration major, was recently tapped to Pi Delt, the journalism honorary; and Jinny McConnell, social studies major, was made adver- tising manager of the Holcad for ' 45 and ' 46. That proves their versatility. Marion McNary ' s vocal solos are well-known to all, and she also spends much of her time working in the YW and CE. She directs the junior choir at the U. P. church as well. The New Wilmington girl scouts all know Helen Newhams, for since her freshman year she has helped out with the local troop. Little Eleanor McMichael, social science major, is another type who helps raise the membership quota of honoraries. Her mail box is always full, too, to the cha- grin of empty mail box owners. not a journalism major. Jane Sheppard, Betty Sheffler, Kuih Stoehr. 28

Pauline Cochran, Donald Haight, Chris Wagner. Tills is it — we are Sophomores. The thoiiglit whirled swiftly in our minds. It even added a certain knowing air to our strolling on campus, to our Meet you at the Grill. We sauntered around, thought it would be differ- ent but nice to know what to major in, and noticed the freshmen. We began looking forward to Tribunal, to giving the freshmen the corn. And we gave them corn, but they, too, knew this was just another stop-ofF on their road to really belonging. We howled and talked about the same old things over potato chips and nickel cokes; danced to Robin Hood and Tippin In . But under- neath it all, there was a certain seriousness that no one talked about or even mentioned. It was there more than ever as one by one the fellows left for the service, when we heard of the President s death, and when we wrote that letter each night. It was there just under the surface gaiety of V-E Day — and perhaps most of all when we sat 111 the quiet church that night. The girls worked and Sceptre, sophomore women ' s honorary, was accepted as a chapter of the national fraternity, Cwens. Minute by minute the hours slipped into days and the time for saying goodbye to our sophomore year was now. So, we said, See you in September and then Gee, we re practically Juniors! 30
