THE CLASS OF 1951 From the end of one war to the uncertain beginnings of another, we found some sort of security in our four years of college — We remember: ... as scared freshmen we dubiously em- barked upon our college career, the last of the orange and blue dink freshmen . . . there was the huge bonfire next to Hurst — everyone left classes and the fire engines added to the com- motion . . . the tables were turned in our Soph- omore year when we had a chance to do the orienting ... we had a Sophomore banquet for the Basketball team . . . this was the year of the nerve-wracking Mason-Dixon Conference which we lost by just one point . . . successfully we became full-fledged Juniors ... we won the Con- ference this year ... we now knew practically everybody — even the Profs . . . we had estab- lished permanent beachheads in the coffee shop . . . our bridge was now perfected, (though still our conventional a club bids were sometimes misinterpreted by our partner) . . . nothing fazed us now (except maybe exams), then we became dignified Seniors . . . not too dignified, however, to continue on with the time-honored institutions such as Caroling before Christmas vacation — the only time of the year when the girls in MGH are asked to stay out until 4.00 a. m. . . . not too dignified to continue haunting the coffee shop or to studiously avoid the library . . . not too dig- nified to cram for exams or to attend the annual dances . . . and not too dignified to cry, just a little, at the thought of leaving our Alma Mater who has put up with us for four years that have passed much too swiftly . . .
