JU ICR Although the years have diminished its size, the junior Class can hold its own with other classes in accomplishments, enthusiasm, and service to the school. The class of '42 is well represented in outside activities and in the student work program. The Young lVlen's Christian Association was under the efficient leadership of a junior, Olin Byerly, during the first semester due to the absence of Ardeth Anderson, the president chosen last fall. Olin continued his work in this organization second semester as vice- president. Another member of our class, Paul Perisho, served on the cabinet as chairman of the devotional committee. The Young Women's Christian Associa- tion would have been very weak without its junior members. Without us, no phase of the weekly program could have been presented. Ellen Lee Tatum and Elizabeth Gordon, vice presidents, also acted as program chairmen, while Nliriam Byerly headed the devotional committee, Dorothy Ellis the finance com- mittee, and Ruby Dahlke played the piano. What would our football team have been this year without Bob Roe, Pat Schluck, and Lloyd Stevenson? And Bill Pace was one of those plucky fellows who faced the scrimages regularly throughout the season. At the an- nual football banquet given by Co-Captains Bainbridge and DeVault and the team man- ager, Amby Dollar, Pat Schluck was honored by being selected as captain of the football team for 1941. Two of the juniors, Bill Bryan and Bob Roe, were considered key men on the basketball squad this year. The college should consider itself fortunate to have these athletes returning next year. Glenn Fosythe, returning to school the second semester after one semester's absence, assumed the position of feature editor on the Chronicle Staff. Several of our class also con- tribute to the paper by being reporters, Eliza- beth Gordon being the most outstanding. The Pep Club's enthusiasm is greatly re- inforced by the Iuniors. Its lieutenant for the first semester and captain for the second se- mester was Ellen Lee Tatum, and its sergeant for the year was Ruth Barnes. Elizabeth Gor- don, Ruby Dahlke, Opal Edna Evans, Edith Ragan, and Doris Chambers are active in the organization. We regret that Doris was unable to be with us except for a small portion of the semester. Ellen Lee Tatum was president of the Women's Athletic Association and Edith Ragan served as vice-president. Pauline Ran- shaw and Ellen Lee Tatum earned letters through this organization last year Nlarion Wilson filled the office of president in the lnternational Relations Club. Several of the members can be claimed by our class as well. We were represented in the Home Econ- omics Club by six girls. Ruby Dahlke not only served as vice-president, but as publicity chairman as well. Nliriam Byerly headed the social committee. Cappy lVlcCormick led the Penn Letter Club through a successful year. Some of our other fellow classmates and letter men included in this organization were Bill Bryan, Olin Byerly, Bob Roe, Pat Schluck, Vernon Nloehring, Lloyd Stevenson, and Mai'- ion Wilson. Vernon Nloehring went to Texas with the 115 Cavalry troop at the beginning of second semester. Many of our group were active in Christian Workers this year. Nliriam Byerly, the presi- dent, directs the work efficiently. Our other cabinet members include Ruby Dahlke as secretary, Letcher Lynn as transportation chairman, Pauline Ranshaw as music chairman, and Ellen Lee Tatum as social chairman. The Council of the Women's Self-Govern- ing Association has been aided by Ruby Dahlke's representation of the junior girls, Edith Ragan's representation of third floor second unit first semester, and Ellen Lee Tatum's representation of second floor third unit second semester. Bob Kenoyer, the president of the Drama Club can be partially claimed by the junior class. l le is ably assisted by Ruth Barnes, the secretary-treasurer, and by many other in- terested juniors. Our class versatile reputation could not be upheld if it were not for Helen l'l0ok's work in the music department. A few others have helped with the band occasionally and in chorus, too. We don't want to forget to mention the excellent acting of the juniors in the all-college play Prologue to Glory. Beryl Perisho played the lead as Abe Lincoln ex- quisitely with Helen Hook's fine aid in the part of Ann Rutledge. Lloyd Stevenson, Bob Ken- oyer, and Nlarion Wilson also helped make the production a grand success.
