Our Freshman year was a hard struggle because we were really over- grown high school students who were eX- pected to be adults . . . We forgot to wear stockings-or neckties-in the dining room . . . we forgot to go through receiving lines . . . we neglected to pay the proper respect to deans and instructors . . . but we soon learned! . . . After Freshman Cus- toms and semester examinations we began to acquire that collegiate air . . . we began to appreciate the Bald Eagle of I..H.S. T.C., and went home that year deter- mined to return. The Sophomore year was hard . . . we felt like testing our wings for long-distance jaunts but . . . for some reason . . . we could not gain the desired respect . . . only Freshman cowered beneath our tyrannical glance . . . we began to realize the scope of this business of education and began to look forward to our being in the field . . .

Teachers began to look like real people . . . we began to feel like teach- ers. The Junior year was not a picnic . . . we were considered childish if we liked roller skating or high school girls . . . we began to talk about VVhen we were youngi' . . . we were all business that year . . . because we had to be . . . we took methods courses and elected most of our Subjects . . . History students studied his- tory . . . English students studied English . . . Phys. Ed. majors danced and learned about muscles . . . Elementary majors sang and painted pictures . . . we were be- coming teachers! . . . That year both Freshmen and Sophomores looked at us with glassy awe-ful eyes . . . we were really upperclassmen. Receiving lines were a matter of course, and we felt at ease at any banquet or so- cial event . . . our wings were capable of 28
