Doris Anderson. @La55 jQtophecu The world has its great discoverers, America its explorers, Pennsylvania its pioneers, York its enterprisers and even York Junior College its adventurer. Oh, in case you haven ' t heard, it ' s Richard Ludwig of the Class of 1944 I ' m speaking of. All the big newspapers, The Times, The Record, and the Jersey Journal Slander Slinger report that he has just dis- covered the Northwest Pole. A notable discoverv anvone would be proud of. Let ' s see, there were eight in that class I believe. I wonder what became of the others. Of course Audria Stinger is editor of the Jersev Journal Slander Slinger, that famous scandal sheet. Its outstanding feature is that it presents only the scandal from the best families. It seems strange that Raymond Frank never became more than a taxi driver. He was such an ambitious lad. I really be- lieve he means to develop his theory of the New Order, though. The last time I called his taxi, he stopped halfway to my destina- tion and said, I ' m sorry, you ' ll have to walk from here, I just remembered it ' s time for a consultation of the New Order ' s government officials. It hasn ' t been so long ago that I heard from Margaret Lindemuth Hughes. She had just given birth to the second set of twins. I imagine she ' s kept busy. By Jupiter!! Margaret said that besides get- ting grav with worry over her little bundles of double trouble she is pestered daily, by the Semi-Micro Chicken Hatch- erv, reminding her that peeps are the best pets for children. The Semi-Micro Hatcherv is managed by Doris Anderson. She said the name Semi- Micro was to describe the size of the profit but probablv the odd name was a result of a compromise because she could never de- cide which she wanted to be a chemist or a farmer. Frank mentioned the other day that, William Meisenhelder or more familiarly Woodv, is often a passenger of his. He has been the Manager of the Chemistry de- partment of the Double Bubble Soap Co. for several years. In emergencies when he Page lb

2La55 Pi oetn That tower of strength which stands Foursquare ' gainst all the winds that blow Flings challenge to our hearts this hour. As they have gone, so we must go To furious tasks and graver ranks. Though our part be lesser, we hope, Through the tower ' s strength, to give thanks In such a noble way. Happy hours we ' ve shared; Inspired through work, learning, and play. Maturer grown through trials and proofs We ' ve found our world expand each day. Vague and shadowed the future lies. Like our tower from its foundation Full of hope and faith we arise To greet a better tomorrow. lyrics by Margaret Lindemuth Hughes music by Carolyn Pendleton ?Li WUL The class of 1944 of York Junior College of the City of York, County of York, State of Pennsylvania, being of unsound mind, memory, and understanding, does make, publish and declare this to be its last will and testament in manner following: To the next Sophomore class we be- queath both the mass judgment of our il- lustrious class and the strict parliamentary order with which all class meetings are conducted. To Dudley Horn and Lois Schubauer we will Audria Stinger ' s and Margaret Hughes ' ability to make money on the second-hand bookstore. To John Frank we will Woody Meisen- helder ' s passion for Mortimer Snerd, prob- ably derived from a similarity in person- ality and appearance. To Henry Spangler we will Dick Lud- wig ' s aversion to women (not an aver- sion — he just doesn ' t see any use for them). To Ruth Hofrnann we will Doris Ander- son ' s talkativeness (she needs it). To Deborah Sumner we will Carolyn Pendleton ' s singing ability. We leave Chet Quickel ' s good brawl (oops I mean ball) room intentions to Norma Patterson. We will Audria Stinger ' s editorial pen to Mary Jane Finke. To Rosemary Cooley we will Margaret Hughes ' habit of having twins (by Jupi- ter). We bequeath Ray Frank ' s coy innocence to Ruth Brown. We leave Chet Quickel ' s kindness to his web-footed friends to Eloise Minnich. To Gene Trump we will C. P. ' s photo- genic qualities so that she may contribute to Spangler ' s pin-up collection. We leave Dick Ludwig ' s good cheer to Elizabeth Deitz. We bequeath Audria Stinger ' s black- snake whip to Jeanetta Reneberger. Page 25

(Zla55 jQtophecu, continued goes down to the lab, it is rumored that he still sings absentmindedlv Young Folks, Old Folks, or some other impro- vised song. You know of course that Carolyn Pendleton, the sweetheart of the Class of 1944 is Woody ' s secretary. I don ' t doubt that C. P. (as we all call her) is a very efficient secretary in her line. Doesn ' t it seem strange that C. P. the sweetheart ' ' and Woody, the wolf, of the class are still such friends. Remember they used to go together when they were kids? The class may also boast of that great Shakespearean actor, Chester Quickel. He is now giving his 596th performance in Hamlet in New York. Wouldn ' t we all like to see him! Thus you see that from the illustrious eight of the Class of ' 44 much talent has developed. A great discoverer, a Shake- spearean actor, a well known and versatile editor and a taxi driver who is also the founder of a new government of the future, are certainly enough celebrities for a class of eight to give the world. But the Class of ' 44 has other members of which it can boast as well. A magnate of the chemistry industry, an understanding and accom- plished secretary, an ambitious manager of a hatchery and a conscientious mother, the noblest of all may not be able to claim the title of celebrities but they certainly are important. Now tell me honestly, who would have thought it? La55 -tflltOtlj When I think about it, it seems quite a long time has elapsed since forty-eight of us entered the chapel on our first day at York Junior College, two Septembers ago. As students we represented many sections of York and York County. One of our number hailed from upper-state New York. Not only geographically, but in person- ality were we a heterogeneous group of freshmen. Our number included young people who were here for various reasons. Some came to learn, others came to satisfy parents ' wishes; still others to have a good time. We were all united in one purpose — the purpose of getting something out of our life at Y.J.C. I venture to say that none of us have failed on that score. Our bewildered feeling, which is char- acteristic of newly arrived freshmen, was quicklv dispelled by the warm welcome we received from our big frothers and sisters. We met our new professors through the pleasant medium of a tea given in our honor. Elections were held and our class started its college career with Guy Berk- stresser at the helm. The sophomores let us know at the very start who was going to be boss for a while by imposing Fresh- man Customs upon each of us. For a week many queer sights were seen around the campus. The girls were compelled to wear long white stockings and green dinks; the fellows, white socks, black bow ties, and green dinks. Both sexes carried large signs hanging around their necks bearing their respective names. All customs were car- ried out in a spirit of good sportsmanship, and no one really minded them too much. Freshman customs were ended with the play-off of a basketball game between the freshmen and sophomores which was held at the Y.M.C.A. the day before Thanks- giving. The sophomores sponsored several get-acquainted parties for us at the Y.M.C.A. and in the Boys ' Lounge. Lambda Sigma Chi, the girls ' social sorority of Y. J. C, saw to it that the girls were initiated all over again, this time as new members of the sorority. We celebrated our first Christmas Sea- son at Y.J.C. by attending the Christmas plav, Why The Chimes Rang, in which Paula Concino, Carolyn Pendleton, and William Meisenhelder took part. Many of us made our debut on the radio in a skit which the Junior College presented over a local station to acquaint the public with college activities. Freshmen partici- pating were Audria E. Stinger, Margaret Lindemuth (Hughes), William C. Meisen- helder, Jack Busier, and John Spangler. Springtime hailed a tremor of delicious excitement which spread abroad when Miss Sheaffer announced that the Junior College was going to present Little Women as its annual major production for the spring of 1943- Little Women will never be forgotten, especially by those freshmen who took part in it. Maybe half the fun was in those midnight parties that were well attended by all the cast. Freshman thespians were Margaret Linde- Page 27
