At the beginning of the second semester the freshman class was once again called to- gether to elect officers. After a few re-votes and other minor troubles because of those who enthusiastically voted several times, the black- board read as follows: Arlo Tatum, president, Harold Tibbs, vice-presiclentg Betty Frush, Secretary, and Esther Iean Haines, treasurer. The second semester, Iimmy Ott, Robert Novak, Bill Gillispie, and Ma1'y Ellen Stout were among those missing. However, a couple of new fellows or so came in to take the place of those who were gone. Dick, Ike, and lack turned out to be swell fellows, tool We started out with once upon a time and proceeded to recall the various characters in the plot centering around Penn in 1940-41. We can't end and they lived happily ever after, because the story isn't done yet. It's just beginning.

FRE Once upon a time, there were about a hundred children who, after consulting their mammas and papas, decided to attend William Penn College. With the purchases of green hats and Orientation books, this one hundred stumbled into the many activities of the first week. The hubbub of registration receeded enough, in time, to allow the intellectual upperclassmen to give them some much needed pointers on How to go to College. Thus instructed, this group of kiddies met in the chapel and elected for the semester Arlo Tatum, president, Robert Utterback, vice-president, Nliriam Wil- liams, secretary, and Shirley Riggle, treasurer of their class. The faculty then took the freshman's little hands in theirs and offered them an evening of informal entertainment in the drawing room. Life once again seemed worth living. The for- mal reception which was sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. was a fitting cli- max to an exciting week. Ml's. Nlarion T. Nagler, class adviser, comforted the Greenies during the horrors of initiation. The boys' bitterness at having to don girls' clothing and the tears shed over onion necklaces were all forgotten when the presidents of the Fresh and Sophomore classes burried the hatchet. In the broad field of speech, Miss Moe was able to lead the new comers to frequent suc- cesses. Wilmer Tjossem demonstrated that his merits as a debater were undebatable. Gladys Gullick, as one of the most active mem- bers of the Drama Club, entertained various delighted audiences. The class president gain- ed recognition at Kirksville, Niissouri, for his original poetry. Nace Brubaker and others had a big part in putting over various forensic- sponsored activities. In short, many of these one hundred boys and girls found speech a very vital and interesting study, as well as an out- side activity. Sports attracted dozens of the more en- ergetic. In football Bob Ireland, Kenneth Dunwoody, Dusty Nlaher, Bill Gillespie, Bob Bown, Bill Collins, Neil Edwards, Don Robertson, Orville White, Iunior Heacock, Iimmy Ott, William Burger, Charles Covoner, and Charles LeRette upheld the freshman honor. Basketball was suecessfullv attempted by Delbert Smith, Neil Edwards, Don Robert- son, Iunior Heacock, Bob Bown, Charles. Le- Rette, Bob Ireland, Kenneth Dunwoody, and Orville White. Earthest from home is William Hull, from New York State. Bill does clever things with his hands and mind. He plans to be an archi- tect. Esther lean and Nlarvin Haines are far from home, too. At least Ohio sounds rather distant. ML1sic seems to be the middle name of about half of the freshman. Professor Baylor found the beginners extremely useful in his chorus of forty voices. Especially outstand- ing among the freshmen are Esther lean Haines, contralto soloistg Shirley Riggle, soprano solo- istg and Arlo Tatum, baritone. The personnel of both the chorus and the Quaker Choir con- sisted mostly of first year Pennites. Not only were freshmen active in vocal music, but an inspection of the band reveals many first class horn-tooters who wore green caps last fall. Others are showing their talents at the organ and piano. When it comes to the field of service, the freshmen once again shine forth. Dale Walker moved to the heating plant to become the roommate of Nlarvin Haines, and these two are kept busy shoveling coal during their spare moments. If the room you are in is too hot or rather chilly, there is undoubtedly someone else on duty, but if the room is the right tem- perature blame it on Dale or Niarvin. It might be just as well not to mention the various freshmen who humble themselves to perform the most important of campus duties, the clean-up men. Next to presidents, deans, and business managers, janitors are undoubted- ly the most important of all people on a college campus. Several freshmen tfor example Cope- land, Killinger, Stein, or Robertsonj come under this classification. Dishwashers such as Virginia lVlcCracken, Harold Tibbs, Orville White, and Dale Walker, are to be congratulated. Perhaps sometime students at William Penn will be conducted through the kitchen, so that folks will realize how much work there is to feeding so many people. O we n Johnson knows something about the kitchen, and so does Bob Ireland, at least these freshman kiddies toot in and out of the swinging door often enough. Oh, and sayl Keith Emmert knows something about waiting tables, too. But then, Keith has so many accomplishments! Richard Carey, Francine Andrews, Bob Ziemer, and Robert Utterback know all there is to know about How to get grades. Some people are smart-others aren't.
