I have lived a fairly serene life. I have had my moments of pain such as the time Rock- ville gave me o new paint job. That was in the fall of 1946, just about the time I first saw the Class of '49. They were a green bunch then, dressing up skeletons, digging holes in English class, and generally trying to impress me with their originality, which in- cidentally, they did. The first activity of this class was to elect president Wilson. Under his able leadership, the sophomores were guided through a maze of project and career weeks with few mishaps. The Forty-niners were considerable bother to me running about working on their carnival, for have it they must, and have it they did, despite torrential rain. I have seen many stellar basketball teams in my time, but when that quintet of Forty-niners started playing on the JV, I knew that I was to see some real basketball. The next year, the Class of '49 was an ex- perienced class, wise in the ways of peda- gogues. My halls were filled with gleeful throngs after the gridiron victory over Blair, and my classrooms saw the determined class supplying answers to the numberless ques- tions asked by the faculty in the semester tests. Politically, Forty-niners looked up to Sam that year, and they looked again the next year when they returned as seniors. Then, with another victorious year of athletic tri- umphs behind them, undergoing the intrica- cies of chemistry, physics, and geometry, and being conversationally fluent upon the sub- jects of English and American Literature, the Class of '49 left my muraled halls in quest of new kingdoms to conquer.
