HELEN MATHER September 6, 1937, was the entrance day for fifty-four timid, green, Fresh- men to William Penn College. They were to be known as the Class of 1941. Much of the first week was spent getting organized, seeing advisors, Miss Conover, - and the Business Office. This left only two things to be done- learning how to wear green caps and what starvation point was. T H E 1 9 3 8 my fwlf YJ

History was made and a precedent was established by this class in regard to Freshman initiation. This class, for the first time in the history of the school, unanimously voted against hazing and initiation. As a result the formal initiation of former years was not held The achievements of this class in the past two years have been noteworthy in the fields of scholarship, activities, and athletics. The Sophomore Class furnished several outstanding players for the football and basketball teams Athletic abilities are not limited to the boys The girls did their share in furnishing material for the girls' team in basketball Having completed two successful years, the Sophomores are looking fore ward to a year of even greater success Il N 111 r nxut l 4 CJ Am san I5 Miller li lic ctr Bi A ': H. 1 dei l ill, R.

Since there was no formal initiation, the only worry of the Freshman Class was the rock fight held on the dawn of Penn Day. The rock was green. The Freshmen have supported, with unlimited enthusiasm and energy, every college enterprise, whether it be in the field of athletics or in other lines of endeavor. In athletics, the class ranks among the highest in number of repre- sentatives on the various college teams. Several members held important positions on the football and basketball teams. In the varsity tournament the Freshmen were the winners. The other fields of endeavor in which they entered brought equal results. Their float won Hrst prize in the Homecoming Day parade, they have also been prominent in forensic and musical work. In short they are a typical group of ambitious Freshmen, who will go far at Penn. t Burk Row: L. Dye, H. Clay, P. Mitchell, F, Atcn, C. Bainbridge, L. Blunt, A. Dollar, Ii. McCormick, D. De Vault.
