MEMURIE 'The class of '48 are we Starting out on 4 stormy rea. Those words of our Freshman song weren't just put in because they rhymed. We did start out on a stormy sea. VE Day and VJ Day were just fond hopes. Those memorable days when we were green from the halls of our high school were over. Those first few terrifying student days. The place was so big. All those courses- those orientation assemblies-those high and mighty seniors. We were scared. There weren't very many men in our class then. The mailboxes in the dorm were filled with letters with F.P.O. or A.P.O. in the return add- resses. Will we ever forget initiation-the controversial up- side down skirts-the pigtails-the make-up-the rolled pant legs-the billboards with our names on them-Freshman Court? Those first days of being dull, stupid Freshman as we sat trembling in class, slaving over books nightly Cof course that's B.W.L.B., Before We Learned Bridge.D Those were the days when we sophisticated ladies took up smoking. Those were the days of 'our first All College Hallo- ween party, our first College formal, the Junior Prom. First the I.R.C. Conference and then Fall Sports Day each took their turn in the spotlight. We went to our first All College Banquet as waiters and waitresses. Our Freshman year saw the arrival of Mr. Wilhoit and the revival of chorus. We Freshman put on the Christmas Assembly. We were beginning to feel at home. We left for Teachers College of Connecticut in September and went home from T.C.C. in Decem- ber. When january rolled around something was strangely different, the Seniors were gone. We excitedly cheered our basketball team. After all, weren't they mostly Freshman? Remember the Cheney Chorus's concert-Spring Play Day-the barn dance. We saw College Theater at work with their presentation of Dear Lady Be Brave and Woman in the Freight Car. The first Spring Concert rolled 'round, were we proud of our chorus! Miss Hendricks left. To our surprise we were Sophomores. Our hopes were realized that summer and the war was over. What a year that started out to be! We made the class of '49 squirm through initiation. Fall Sports Day--that was old stuff to us. Coach Kaiser came back from the wars. Our basketball team was pretty good that year Cin our opinionb. Star Dust-the theme of our first post war formal-the Christmas recess and transformations. The registrar had more work come january. Our enrollment was swelled by a hundred vets. It was now that things began to happen to our campus. Dwelling units for the married vets sprung up from behind Marcus White Hall. There was talk of a men's dorm. Remember March? That's when the class of '48 showed the school. We threw a dance. The first formal Sophomore Hop. The gym was clothed in green and gold and transformed into a park for the night. April rolled around and found the enrollment doubled. T.C.C. was growing up-nothing slow about us. We had a chance to go to our first Eastern States Confer- ence. We danced at the Social Ac formal, at the junior Prom. We cheered the track team, the tennis team, the baseball team on to victory. Sport dances in the gym, a T.C.C. reunion, and the Spring Concert. The smash hit of the year was My Sister Eileen. Well, what else could be expected. After all didn't two mem- bers of our class have the leads? New faculty members, old ones leaving, Mr. Pratt retired, no longer to teach Freshman Biology. The Garrisons, Mrs. Johnson left. Modern languages were
