DuBois Hall DuBois Hall, the home of the sophomores, is the oldest building on the campus, the foundation having been laid in 1822. On Pentecost Sunday, 1824, the structure was razed by fire, but was rebuilt by Father DuBois and re- opened in 1825, a tribute to the energy and persistence of the man whose name it bears. The basement housed the K. of C. chambers, the pool hall, and the camera lab. On the main floor was the in- firmary, where all Mountaineers found solace for their ills, 113 be they real or only a means to an end. First DuBois was the home of probably the longest occupant of the building, Father Burke, who has lived there approximately forty years. On 2nd DuBois was the long dark hallway leading to Room 221, where many of us have spent agonizing moments in having our alibis analyzed. The imposing clock tower of DuBois kept generations of Mount men informed of the time of day.

Sophomore Class September of 1950 brought 180 first year men, the small- est freshman class of our time, to the Mount campus. The class contained the smallest number of veterans since World War II ended. Thus, the incoming Class of 1954 served as a sign to us that the nation’s colleges were return- ing to the pre-war normal in student age level and enroll- ment. Of the 180 who first entered 120 came back for their second year. Among those who did not come back many were numbered as serving with the fighting forces of our country. Their classmates were in the service of the United States also. At Mount St. Mary’s they learned the Catho- lic way of life, directly opposed by Communism, and were thus preparing themselves for future onslaughts against the enemy of all freedom-loving men. As we left the Mount in June 1952 the Class of 1954 had already made a deep imprint on campus life. In their freshman year they were hazed in traditional fashion. A few men were lost as a result of semester exami- nations, yet class morale was not destroyed and the men went on their way breathing the Mountain air. At election time the people’s choice for freshman class president was Frank Anello. Joe Fitzgerald, Hank Hund, and John Carosi were also elected. In May they and the class proved their capability for doing things by making Memorial Gymnasium look like a different place for a dance which, together with the sheen from a shiny white moon, produced one of the year’s most appreciated social events. iF 5 oo ROO ee ee SOCIAL SCIENCE: Front: J.

In a curious twist of campus politics, Fitzgerald and Anello switched their offices of vice-presi- dent and president. Hund was again asked to keep the bank account and Jack Mazoureix was picked to replace Carosi. At the beginning of their second year, the men of 754 were assigned to DuBois Hall.
