We have given a good account of ourselves so far, and expect to leave a permanent mark of our passage on B.D.T.I. To begin with, ours was the first class to enter its freshman year with the knowledge that it was starting the first leg of a four year course, terminating with a degree. Also, we think ours will be the last class having a sizeable proportion of Veterans on the rolls, and probably the last class having prospective graduates who were married before they entered the school. Those of us who were married-some of us proud Papas, at that- when we began the course, have looked on in some amusement as our classmates have taken unto themselves wives. But we think we are the last of our kind. ln the field of social activities we are quite proud of our record. B.D.T.I. is now big enough to support two fraternities, and the class of '51 assisted in the successful organization of the Epsilon Phi Pi Fraternity. At the time of writing the Presidents of both fraternities are member of this class. Robert Staples, president of Phi Psi Delta Chapter, and Joe McKenna, president of Epsilon Phi Pi. Of this we are quite proud. All the dances sponsored by our class have been highly successful, our only complaint being that there have been too few of them. We are an extremely talented group, having several musicians of professional quality, and at least one movie-director-star. The latter, of course, is Bill Moran, whose efforts were acclaimed by the Engineering Department. Sportwise, we have proved ourselves versatile, quite capable, and enthusiastic. Seven members of the class are active with the basketball squad. Outstanding, of course, are Harold Peterson and Alec Smith, who have played with the team for three seasons. They played on the team which won the S.N.E. Coastal Conference, in '48. While we haven't managed to repeat that performance, our team is still a fine one. Morris Cohen, Robert Gauthier, Ernie Vigeant, Jay Kneen and Al Slowe are well-known to the followers of the basketball team.
