1 55 r iltotu, continued muth (Hughes), Chester G. Quickel, and William C. Meisenhelder. This dramati- zation was presented to a full house on two nights, May 7 and 8 of 1943. Among commencement activities in which the freshmen participated and helped to plan were the Lambda Sigma Chi Banquet held at the Brownstone House in April, the breakfast honoring the sopho- mores which has become a traditional Class Dav feature, and a banquet and dance combined for the sophomores which was held at Hotel Yorktowne the evening of Class Day. Freshmen were really proud of Audria Stinger who received the College Club award for the most worthy girl in their class. As we witnessed the charter class graduate from Y. J. C. we looked forward eagerlv to a bigger and better sophomore year. With an increased feeling of importance we returned in the fall of 1943 as full- fledged sophomores. We didn ' t waste much time in asserting our new authority, as the new freshmen discovered when we clamped our revised set of customs upon them. We started out the year in a grand wav with a get-acquainted picnic held at Miss Root ' s home in Yorkshire. A big event of the fall of ' 43 was the completion of our new gym of which all of us were justly proud. It offered many new opportunities for sports participation. Along with the gym we received a new lounge, beautifully furnished in maple and decorated by the girls of Lambda Sigma Chi. Hallowe ' en saw us having a really spooky party in rooms 16 and 17. Our social committee outdid themselves for that affair. Another Christmas rolled around, and we observed it in our traditional way, by helping to present a Christmas play. This time it was Bird ' s Christmas Carol. When we returned after the holidays, we were all busy with the writing of term papers and preparing for exams. Weary with work and strain, we climaxed our exam week with a rollicking party at Camp Ganoga. Since that first party, several similar ones have taken place, and have been popularly called winter pic- nics. After the second semester was in full sway, our class, dwindled to seven in num- ber, determined to produce a second issue of The Tower. We realized what an im- mense task we were undertaking, but we asked only for the opportunity to make good. Thanks to persistent effort on the part of each class member, and to the will- ing cooperation of the freshmen and facultv, our dream became a successful reality. Another spring, and following it as a natural sequence came another major dramatization. The Goose Hangs High, a fast-moving comedy, was presented bv the college on April 1, 1944, to an apprecia- tive audience. Warm sunny days and a reawakening of nature sped us on to commencement. The fact that only five of us remained did not daunt us. We planned a bigger and better Class Dav. Those important and secretive weeklv class meetings held at each mem- ber ' s home for the purpose of planning a Class Day program proved an enigma to the rest of the college. After attending the Freshman-Sophomore banquet, the Class Dav Breakfast, and the Alumni Banquet, Commencement night rolled around. We hated to leave, but the time had come, and we had to depart, never to return to Y. J. C. again as college students. Although we were very proud of the class members who left our presence to serve our country, we were equally proud of those of us who remained until the natural time had come for us to leave. The scholarship of the Class of 1944 was very high. This fact proves that in addition to having many good times, we also spent some time studying. We, as the Class of ' 44 disagree with a certain saying which states that all good things must come to an end. Although we have had to say farewell to our friends at Y. J. C, we feel that we will never part with the broader understanding of the world about us, and a greater growth of character within us — instead we have claimed them as our heritage, a priceless heritage grown from two years of college life. We leave you thefaculty, thebuildings, and books to make of them what you will, but we have taken our heritage with us to follow us wherever we may go.
