0 LCGIS Zelgler Duncan Glass Bockius Holcomb September of 194-8 saw the entrance of two hundred seventy-Hve Freshmen who fur- nished a hypo to school spirit that hadn't been seen since lore-World War II days. Bill Evans fPrcs.l, Don Avant CV. P.l, Carol liapson fSec.l, and Ron Reitano QSO- cial Chairmanl, organized events which formed an unusually unified Freshman class. The Freshman football team, for example, experienced only one loss during the season. Members of the team were the first to wear black jackets with orange and black class numerals. Games were sparked for spectators by the first Freshman cheer leaders: Dick Deaver, Robin De Vour, Babs fCovingtonl Mudge, Carol Rapson, and Katherine Schon- feld, who all guarded an orange and black Dachshund dog. The new mascot became a traditional Freshman gimmick which has since each year been embroidered with class numerals. Their Freshman year turned out to be their busiest. The '52 class decorated for the an- nual Christmas Dance, built the Pomona bon- fire ftopped by a miniature Claremont Innnl, and danced at A Night With the Codsw-where Phyllis Overholt and ,lim Drummond reigned with crowns of ivy. Al- though the first to face the mental straining six units of History of Civ., the Freshmen came to near victory in traditional Soph- Frosh antics in the Spring. They learned later, Freshmen never win. Four years later, Class of ,52 still found itself with a crowded calendar. President of the Senior Class, John Holcomb, and Vice President, Faith Bockius, held an election to let the class decide whether they would or would not pose in formal attire for their senior picture, and helped class parents, Dr. Bollman and his wife hold open house with a pot luck dinner for the whole class. Senior Ditch Day at Stanley Ranch was a cold one. Seniors had a good time hiking, playing baseball, and eating spare ribs for dinner, anyway. The concluding social events of '52 were a Dinner Dance at Pacific Pali- sades and the Senior breakfast on gradua- tion morning. Now, the collective activities are all over. For after having attended the minimum number of assemblies, and digested enough Union food, the old grads will recall frag- ments of their four years at Oxy fat least when they receive circulars from the Alumni ofliccj , as not really being so very bad after all. At least 145 of the 19418 Freshmen thought so. They stayed the entire four years -as the pictogram above points out.
