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.

OPHO ORE The Sophomoresl-what would Penn bc without them? This class has a representative in almost every activity on the campus and succeeds in winning more than its share of honors. Although we're going to school to study and learn, most of us don't act as if we knew it. Nevertheless the Sophomore class has its quota of brains, lt's not every class that can boast three geniuses like Frances Bondhus, Helen Maxwell and john Street. The Sophomores are popular with their schoolmates too. This year a Sophomore, Violet W3l'ClCl', was elected Homecoming Queen. Two of the attendants, Beverly Briggs Kenoyer and Frances Bondhus, were also Sophomores. Pep is not lacking in this class with Bernice Alcorn, cheer leader, helping Tommy and then taking his place second semester. About half' of the Pep Club are Sophomores, including Elva Airy, Ethelmae Aten, lean Gillam, janey Haigh, Betty Huxford, G. Marie Iohnson, Hazel Lown, Helen Maxwell, Emily Newlin, Nadine Sparks, and Opal Weant, In music the Sophomores are well-repre- sented. Bill Kilpatrick, with his splendid tenor voice, is much in demand as a soloist. Elva Airy and Ethelmae Aten are membersvof the Quaker Choir. Ethelmae has also made her talent known in chapel as a vocal and organ soloist. Those of us who have marched and played in the band are: Elva Airy, Don Hack- ley, G. Marie johnson, Bill Kilpatrick, Helen Maxwell, Harlan Schuler, Opal Weant, and Bill Whitake1'. In the football season these Sophomores, Ierry Hiatt, Pat Patterson, Bill Collins, Dick Rabenold, and Morgan Kisor played hard for the Gold and Blue. Bill Collins and Bill Day represented the class on the basketball court. The girls, too, have their part in the sports at Penn. Who hasn't heard of Dale Renaud's basketball squad? Coach Renaud, as well as Marjorie Moore, Helen Maxwell, Emily Newlin and jackie Thayer are sophomores. There is a lot of dramatic ability displayed in the class-both on the stage and off. jerry Hiatt, G. Marie lohnson, Chuck Smith, Don Hackley, Harlan Schuler, Bettie Lou VanDyke, Guy Efnor, and Kenneth Russell played in the Christmas play. Iohn Elliott, G. Marie johnson, Margaret Masters, Marjorie Moore and Emily Newlin are all active in forensic work. Marie is presi- dent of the group while Emily is secretary. Emily, john, and Marjorie are members of the national Pi Kappa Delta society, and Margaret is eligible for membership. Emily and Mar- garet represented the college in the debate tournament at Kirksville, Missouri. john won excellent ranking in the state extemporaneous speaking contest held at Penn. Several ofthe class work on the Chronicle Staff. Frank Buckingham serves double duty being, also, a newshawk for Oskaloosa Daily Herald. Emily Newlin has the none-too-easy job of being circulation manager for the Chron- icle. Ethelmae Aten is News Editor and Iohn Elliott is Feature Editor. After the news is all gathered the most important part is yet to be done-the printing, here lohn Kendrick and Don Carl play an important part. Many of the girls in the class are finishing the second year of the elementary teacher's course and will be teaching next year. We are certain that they will make good teachers and wish them lots of luck and popularity with their pupils. Those finishing the course this year are: Ioyce Barnes, leanne Bunting, Val Eva Graham, Vera Rhodebeck, Leta Snively, lean Gillam, Hazel Lown, Marjorie Moore, and A. Marie johnson. Most of us here at Penn are working for our education. In almost any type of job you are able to find a Sophomore. ln the ofhce is Beverly Kenoyer waiting on the mail seek- ers. ln the library is Orin Bell to answer the telephone and do janitor work, here also Flor- ence Dunn waits on you in her quiet way. Don Carl lines up things in the print shop as did lohn Kendrick first semester. Emily Newlin works for Mrs. Kirby. When meal time comes around we find a large percentage of the waiters and waitresses are sophomores. Dale Renaud is head waiter. Others are: Elva Airy, Ianey Haigh, Opal Weant, Bettie Lou VanDyke, and Hazel Lown. Out in the kitchen Leta Snively and A. Marie Johnson help keep things going, and at dish- washing time one can always depend on john Street. Harold Moehring is a main-stay inthe laundry, Ethelmae Aten works in the binderyp Iohn Street is laboratory assistant in Chemistry, and Iohn Pierce-Iones assists, in the Biology department. These are just a few more of the jobs that sophomores do so well. Then, of course, there are the general in- formation girls, the switch-board operators. Sophomores working at this post are lean Gillam, Helen Maxwell, Helen Ruby, and Nadine Sparks.
