Class History TT was September of 1949. The grass outside the buildings of Northeastern, the grass which later became asphalt, was suddenly stampeded by 1070 wild-eyed youngsters hungry tor a little learning and a taste of college life. These were the freshmen. Most of them were just out of high school and scarcely out of knickers and bobby sox. But some of them were purposeful young men here to study under the GI Bill.

These were, of course, Ed Shea and Charlie Johnson, who set a new Andover cross-country record for freshmen, thus giving our class its first real taste of prestige and fame. N.U.

That same stage was soon to support the cast of Arms and the Man, the Silver Masque ' s fall production. As Freslmieii, the N.U. campus looked like this — no Library and no asphalt . .
