'4 Pagr l if!ff'11 8... -.ff 'Fi' it i 9' EV SMITH ICE DE MOISE IACK HUDSON President Secretary-Treasurer Vice President We've passed the half way mark. The goal is getting closer and the frosh starting line seems miles away-but does it? Wasn't it just the other day that we started our race, a little green, meeting the new roommate, saying Howdy- doody as we tipped our dinks, taking placement tests, and feeling a little frightened as we wondered if we'd be able to keep pace with the upper class- men? We chose Ian Carlson as Ideal Freshman Girl, and Bob O'Melia prexied the class. That was the year of the mock convention with its campaign speeches and placards in Chapel, and the big snow that almost kept us in New Wilming- ton for Christmas vacation. Next September found us sauntering around campus with a more knowing air. We looked forward to tribunal. We still listened to the usual reminiscing, When the fellows were here, bought lohnny Mercer's Personality, and cheered frantically at the Akron game. This year we found our chapel seats in the junior balcony. We'Ve stopped writing letters c,fo Post Office, New York and welcomed our returning class- mates. Frat parties, formals, football and basketball games put up a stiff com- petition to studying. We elected loe DeMoise president, and had more than our share of winners in student government, on the basketball team, and in the Little Theater. ln April we paid tribute to the Seniors at the Iunior Prom. And later Betty Holt was crowned May Queen. The goal is getting nearer, and We'd like to slow down. We'd rather run the race at Westminster than watch from, the sidelines. uniofzs

We saw room walls decorated with French scarves, Hawaiian skirts and leis and Back Home for Keeps picturesg saw lorgy towering his 6'8 V2 over oppon- nents on the basketball floor. We awoke to Gee, Mom, 1 Want To Go Home' rendered by Army voices at 6:30 a. m., listened to their classic joke about drop- ing a pencil in class and missing a semester, and spent Saturday Service center. We remember the interfrat dance held at the Kap room to spare. r 1 night at the house with 1944 and Chapel oral dance announcements still ended, Girls, bring your sang their favorite roommate. The Canaries, seventeen strong, vigorously theme song in the Grill, fish buying and the Chris Wagner handshake were the current vogues, and the Akron game left us Weak from shouting. 1945 and Aiken's garden bloomed again. We began our 399 courses and took our Work more seriously. We Worked on the f-lolcad, joined honaries, and published the Argo. Block W resumed their annual formal, the fraternities moved back into their houses, and the first spring football practice since the war, was scheduled. 1946 found us viewing the quadrangle for our final year. We saw the campus changed with veterans barracks, baby-buggies, and commuters' cars. We Worried about comps and thesis, and burned the midnight oil over student teaching. Cur caps and gowns made us proud, a little sentimental, too. We've had four years of work and fun-we Won't forget them. 21410415 Puyr I'lIllH'fI'l'll
