Most of us who are graduating in June began our college career when the school was connected with Syracuse and was known as Triple Cities College. In February of 1950 the school was accepted as one of the two liberal arts colleges in State University of New York and the name was soon changed to Harpur College. Many of our original class members trans- ferred to Syracuse, others have been recalled to the service; yet others of us have transferred to Harpur from other schools. But it is Harpur we are graduating from, and it is Harpur and the Green and White we will remember. The first organized Senior Class was formed in 1948 and included Edmund Vitkus, president; Robert Appe, vice-president; Jerome True, treas- urer, and Secretary Doris Jones. The Class of '52 is the second class to graduate from Harpur College. Socially the Senior Class has organized annual hayrides, picnics in the spring and the graduat- ing parties and dinner dances. In January of '52 the graduating Seniors had a dinner dance at Augie's Venus Room to which all Seniors were invited. The June graduates have their annual dinner dance near the end of the term and at this time they present their gift to the school. Then the moment we have studied and worked for will be a reality. Four challenging years at Harpur will lay behind us and the more challenging years ahead will be met with the fond memory of our Alma Mater to remind us of the days of Green and White.
