Class Alumni say c By JONATHAN J. JAMISON Staff Writer imagine yourseir coming oacK to USC about 50 years from now for your class reunion. That's exactly what's happening to the Class of 1941 this Friday, About 150 classmates and their spouses are returning for their 50th 'Golden' Year Class Reunion. According to Mr. A. Craford Clark son, a graduate of the class, he's coming back because it's "an opportunity to enjoy my classmates again." As you may have already guessed, the USC campus has changed a lot since *41. Another graduate with this class, Dr. Rufus Sellers said, "There were about 1800 students around campus." Many things were also different from now and many important things were happening during that time. World War II had just started. v\ ^ ^ ^ V "The United \A days a year, n they take up Wine and Date T entc= I Ilk & The Aftei Mon - Fri 11:30 Featuring Live Enterfc in the bar witn r cover charge. 10-4-91 Jeff Show'! 10-5-91 The Guitar Now Serving Satui & Sunday morning br 8:00am - 12:00nc I unite 1 n9ed V \ JAPAN BO/ PE ARL HA' of '41 :ampus cha Though the U.S. was not in when this class graduate week after graduation, m; them became involved in tl Sellers noted, "World \ FITNESS is F Come Workout )/1 ti? i "11 ^ " /ay works 3 ot just the c > the money Dine Your! he Five Po niAie 1/ffVE r - TailGating 2:00 ainment i 10 I With eac ! sl I c 5 2.

Well, as a college student today, you must have a place to "hang out." Many USC students of today hang out at local pubs in Five Points where an average beer cost them about $2. Well in a way, things were no different in the days of the 40s. Moorefield said, "At Five Points, there was Hycles where they sold beer and hamburgers. There was also Mr. Nicks were they sold beer for 10 cents and hot dogs for 5 cents." It was a bargain to live in the '40s. Just as today, there were always parties going on. There was one particular dance that was called the Chin Dance. According to Dr. Sellers, "The Chin Ball lasted all night."
