Our parade now continues and we see our third year passing before us. The center of attention was shifted to a new site. Mark Hopkins School was the chosen locality. Voices, faint whispers at first, rose to loud shouts inquiring as to registers, lesson-plans and other novel terms-but with trepidation we took our turns at teaching and hoped for the best. Sky-scrapers mingled with mountains, for in compliance with the project method a highly enjoyable excursion to New York took place in connection with a sociology course and under the direction of Miss Boyden. The town had never been toured so fast. However, it must be admitted that the sociological values ran a close second to the social values. This part of the parade will perhaps always stand out most clearly. A re-view within a re-view- - -The occasion was the 50th anniversary depicting life of former college days given for the benefit of those who lived them. And with this event another episode has passed. The grand finale of our passing parade comes slowly into focus. But how can it be reviewed-so short and yet so crammed with important activity, with only eleven to undertake the work of hundreds. . .Advancing into the foreground is one of the biggest successes of the year, The Senior Medicine Show. Has anyone ever found out who Dr. Glouscester was? Another laugh of the year was the senior version of the Christmas Mummers play. It couldn't be more originally done. The big event which none will ever forget was the production of the year- book - Again it is proved that the Class of '45 can work together to produce the best. So the years pass in misty re-view but not more quickly than they did in reality. Our passing parade has ended. Reluctantly our college days have left us and now the time has come when we shall always have to look back for our college fun. jean Seneca! 29

SHWUH HIEWHY A Svnim' Luulis Hzwk LTHOUGH distance and time will cast a faint mist over remembrances there will be some name, or perhaps a chance meeting, a familiar tune, or even a remembered giggle and then one of the eleven of the Class of '45 will look back - Four short years of laughter, work, struggle and fun will pass in re-view- Out of the mist rise twenty-three trembling freshmen entering the portals of S.T.C., well supplied with enough material to take the intelligence and academic tests placed before them. Those were scarcely over when the seemingly over- whelming prospect of the freshman initiation was upon them. Each green tender- foot found herself marching through the halls as questionable examples of beauty. But their chance to show initiative and ability as well as their opportunity to reciprocate for the initiation soon appeared on the horizon. On October 29th came the hilarious Halloween party with the gym decorated in a harmonious array of cornstalks, pumpkins, and colored paper and the tunnel most gruesomely equipped. As this first phase of college life flew by, came the big splurge on which the treasury was completely exhausted. The S.S. - 45, a nautical ad- venture complete with even the gangplank, was considered The dance of the year. After a too brief pause the passing parade of 42-43 continues with only thirteen of the original participants. The first episode in this review of the high spirited sophomores was the initiation of the newly arrived sprouts at S.T.C. The highlight of this year was the entrancing Fall Fantasy , which turned out to be every student's fondest memory. In March rugged individuals as in a fairy tale turned from industrious UQ students into producers of a hilarious and some- what gigantic minstrel production with the colored endmen providing much of the fun - But that pleasant adventure, too, passed into the distance and with it the memories of the sophomore year. 28
