You, the audience, have been the kindest of kind people and we appreciate it. However, though we know we havenlt forgotten and won't forget anything that has happened to us here at Towson, we wonder if we can depend upon you to remember us and the things we did. But maybe you have forgotten the latter already. Have you? To thank you enough would be utterly and indescribably impossible. For us to give voice to our thanks in even a small manner is hard to do because we realize that our tongues can't really express what our hearts feel. A greener, more hopeless flock of freshmen probably never graced the halls of Towson, but, because you were what you were, you took us in your strides, inspired us, played an important part in molding us, and, consequently, aided Q8

Now, because we are determined you shanit forget us and because we are anxious that you remember what we did here, welre going to help' you recall, as a last effort on our parts, a general view of our days at Towson. Isn't the day that we Hrst entered the awe-inspiring domains of Towson clear as crystal in your minds? Granted, that we were just another bother- some, boring bunch of freshmen. However, it didn't take you long to see through us and realize we had promise, definite promise. To prove this fact, we started off with a zip and a vigor that lasted us for four years. We decided that if the upper classmen had certain privileges, so could we. There- fore, the first step we took was to elect officers. It was a thrill to us, that first election. We had never before had a like experience. To serve as officers, we selected four tremendously capable people: Milton Bayne, Winifred Leist, Doris Caslin, and Ted Severn. This quartet was to perform two duties for us-protect us from the big, bad sophomores and give us a party. Advisers were our next problem. Our choices were fortunate and ones we haven't regretted: Miss Miller, Miss Held, and Mr. Medlock. Under the guidance of these seven beings, we had a gigantic freshman party. Honestly, We were the envy of the other classes and to ourselves quite the thing. Shortly, we made our exit for the summer. We pretended we were glad to be free, but we weren't. All summer we thought over the events of our freshman year- and we still do. But Have you forgotten so soon? The following September, we entered again in full swing, but this time we were changed. We were sophomores. At last we understood why sopho- mores bully freshmen much more than the upperclassmen dog we learned that a sophomore is rather inconspicuousg and we perceived that we were gradually becoming a necessary part of the school. This year saw us as serious and conscientious students-interested solely in Hnding how fast An rowed upstream, how Caesar crossed the Alps for did heFj, and why a cow chews a cud. But even with work our main thought, we found time to elect oflicers and have a party. This time, we selected Peggy Pierce, Barry Poisal, Glenn Wilhide, and Clem Schaeffer. Our sponsors remained the same. The annual get-together was an affair worthy of note. We gaped intrigued or skipped gaily through rows of stands at a country fair and had no end of fun. Our sophomore year was rather unexciting since we were at last grow- ing up and passing through a truly trying stage. In these nine months, we probably needed your attention and your assistance more than at any other time. We received it. We can't forget but Have you forgotten so soon? At long last, it came. We finally attained the coveted position for which we prayed for so long, but never actually expected we would achieve. We were juniors, undeniably and irrefutably glorious, great juniors. From the Q9
