SENIOR CLASS In '46 our class started its story, And in '50 left the school in a blaze of glory. Those four years were full of fun and fret, Our first day in school we'll never forget. The talk by Dean Coombs The hunting for classrooms, Questions and answers, foolish and wise- And for cutting classes our alibis. The soccer team we started in '46 With instructors helping take the kicks. How it improved as years went along With Coach Simeone helping make it strong! And the Cosmos Club we did initiate So foreign students and Americans could congregate. The Christmas parties with their skits That threw us into laughing fits, And don't forget that our class Made the Distaff come to pass. Who can forget the pledges in Phi Psi Wearing shoelaces instead of a tie. Final exams and then vacation, But first a little syncopation As in Stone Bridge Inn we prance At the first Annual Dinner Dance. The second year when we returned The rumors flew and our ears burned. 'We're getting a new building and degrees And all the students this did please. And the Harvest Hop with its Queen Pretty enough to be on a Hollywood screen. And the Varsity Club to pay for sweaters For athletes who earned their letters. By this time starting new clubs wasn't rare So we formed a chapter of A square T. C. square, And Epsilon Phi Pi we did organize So that all races and creeds could fraternize. And the Higgins Trophy we won that year While we all went to the games to cheer. HISTORY Mr. Norman at the Christmas party Reciting a poem hale and hearty. The Xmas Dance with Santa there And all the girls looking bright and fair. Exams, dinner dance, and on vacation we darted We returned and the new building still wasn't started And none can forget that wonderful sight Of New Bedford and Durfee together one night. For a dance in the country club hall, A fine time was had by all. And then to add to our class' fame The A. C. S. our chemists did frame. And that year a tennis team we did get To whack the ball right over the net. And when the iunior year ended for the summer Some of our group left with a diploma. When we returned for our senior year We started to work on the l95O Pioneer The first yearbook since we became an institute We hope that future classes will follow suit. The Engineering Society came into being So that educational programs we'd be seeing. And under Mr. Williams' painstaking labor Our fencing team learned to use the saber. And running dances we did not stop Our dances that year were full of bop , A concert dance given by Phi Psi, And a Patriots Dance by Epsilon Phi Pi. And then came exams and graduation We even had a convocation. We graduated in cap and gown, Our commencement was really done up brown. Our class day and faculty tea Were really very nice to see And thus we closed one chapter in our story Looking forward to future glory.
