E ICR DON KIESTER M. MCCRACKEN LILLIAN ANDERSON President Vice President Secretary-Trcasurer It doesn't seem possible that it has been four years since the class of '41 entered college but here we are. Many of those bashful fresh- men have this year assumed positions of re- sponsibility and fulfilled them at least as well as they could. While probably not the most studious class, it yet has many outstanding members. After all, isn't there some truth in the statement that one Shouldn't let studies interfere with a college education? Take the field of athletics for example. Co-captains Bainbridge and DeVault worked hard and well to build up a successful football team. Other seniors on the team were Louie Dye and Cappy McCormick. In Basketball, Bill Trent has played an even better game than in previous years and has received many honors as a result. Don Kiester and Chuck Bain- bridge have also been regular first team men for the fourth year. Quite indespensable in both sports was Amby Dollar as manager. Two senior girls, Lillian Anderson and Barbara Nichols, were attendants to the Home- coming queen in October. The Department of music is well represent- ed by Nlary Nlartha Hoar on both organ and piano. She also has an exceptionally high academic record. There are many seniors who have worked part, if not most, of their way through college. It may be Ruth lris Heald at the switchboard who connects you with your waiting party or tries to find information varying from so-and- so's whereabouts to the name of the oldest alumni. The library assistant who locates that certain book you have vaguely in mind may be Byrda Leonard, Neva Reynolds, or Nlargaret lVlcCracken. Louie Dye also does janitor work there. The Chronicle Editor, Phil Ellis, has worked long hours to put out a good school paper, an addition to the hours he works as electrician and general handy man on the campus and elsewhere. If a member of the girls' swimming class starts to drown, it is Mer- ridy Hoar who jumps to the rescue. She also acts as a capable assistant in bowling, physical education, and first aid classes. In keeping with their superior knowledge and experience tahemj most of the presidents of organizations are seniors. Don Kiester, in addition to being president ofthe senior class, is president of the student council. Neva Reynolds has graciously-and patiently-filled the office of house president, not an easy job by any means. Lillian Anderson is president of Home Economics Club, Nlargaret lVlcCracken of the Y. W. C. A., Ardeth Anderson of Y. M. C. A. after his return to school the second semester, Nlerridy Hoar of Secondary Teachers, an organization started this year and consisting of those upperclassmen working toward a teaching position in high school. Six seniors were honored this year by being named for the Who's Who of American Col- leges yearbook. They arewArdeth Anderson, Charles Bainbridge, Louis Dye, Philip Ellis, Nlargaret McCi'acken, and Barbara Nichols. Selection is based upon scholarship, character,

CLASS OF 41 Through her zealousness, Mary Martha Hoar has attained great heights. William Penn College is proud of its outstanding organist and pianist who has aided many school entertainments by her musical selections. Not only has she great musical talent, which has been developed through constant effort, but her high schol- astic standing also is a record of her conscientiousness. She was elected by the faculty as the outstanding girl in the senior class and is recommended for the Byrn Mawr scholarship. The Quaker Staff congratulate her on her achievements and wish her success in the future. lust a few words about Chuck Bainbridge, an out- standing athlete and scholar. On the football field he was a hard-driving quarterbackg on the basketball floor, an ace on defense and a good offensive man. William Penn College was well represented when he ran the mile relay during track season. Many laurels have been awarded him for his accomplishments in sports. His teamwork and sportsmanship are keenly admired by the student body. All of his efforts have not been placed on athletics for he is a scholar as well. Good luck, Chuckl extra-curricular activity, and probable future usefulness. The second semester many of the seniors tested their mettle and, incidentally, knowledge HS practice teachers at the local high school. Tommy Crawford, cheer leader during the first semester, is now in Texas as a member of the national guard giving his energetic support to another field. Barbara Nichols was president of the Pep Club first semester, but she also has another JOlJ-a civil service stenographer in Washing- ton D. C. It was a lucky opportunity, and we are all happy for her, even though we miss her enthusiastic personality. Millarcl Mills, who attended Penn last year, rs starting his law course at Iowa City this year but will receive hrs diploma here rn the spring. Due to a severe head injury, Ardeth And- erson was unable to attend school for the first semester but has recovered for the second. He will graduate in Iune. In addition to being leaders in organiza- tions, the seniors work in others such as Chris- tian Workers, and International Relations. Of importance also is the B Squad Bask- etball team which is coached very successfully by Louie Dye. And so on through the list. Next year other seniors will be taking our places-learning the joys and otherwise of presidents of organizations and activities. It won't be long until we'll be changing the tassel and you'll be stepping up. Good luck to us alll
