the attitude of the college in accepting the responsibilities of its own government. Much of the progress of the Student Government was due to Don Silverman, its second president, who strengthened the organization after Mark Mordecai of the Class of 'Sl nursed it through infancy. The Hangout came about through the Social Committee which formed a separate committee to look into the possibility of having a student social center. Ann Ryan, Margie Austin, and Herb Simon were in on the ground floor of this organization and were directly responsible for its foundation and successful growth. When it came to passing out bouquets, a well-earned posie was planted in the sweaty little editorial fist of one Robert Mick Ryley. Varied opinion on the quality of the ECHO did not detract from the tremendous effort the smiling Irishman put toward improving the newspaper. The football highlight of our stay was the Trinity game. They came on Parents' Weekend '5l, boasting a thirteen game winning streak which Colby promptly shattered in one of the best games ever played on Seaverns Field. The basketball team took the Series crown with comparative ease. Johnny Jabar who had transferred from B. U., played the brand of ball that made him captain in 'l952. Just before mid-semester exams, long white envelopes began to appear on campus. Some guys got panicky and ioined the Navy. The weekly migrations to the battle of Augusta Bay became a tradition of such force that even such formidable institutions as Wednesday night fraternity meetings were changed to Tuesday. Uncle Sam was good to most of us, however, and although committees of our neighbors were extremely nosy about our whereabouts, we managed to return to finish our iunior and senior years. One of the most enjoyable events during the spring was the fraternity-sorority sing on the Libe steps. This contest was originally to be held around Johnson's Pond lPrexie's Puddle to the psych maiorsl but the last time that happened the farming folk around these parts raised such a hue and cry about the disappearance of livestock that the practice was discontinued. At long last, we returned to the campus as Seniors, a fact that was hard to get used to. Something even harder to get used to was the appearnce of girls up in the quadrangle dorms. Somehow the old place didn't seem natural with all the curtains drawn. Artie White, captain of the baseball team in l952, was elected class president. Other officers were Sally Shaw, Nancy MacDonald and Russ Dixon. Realizing that our time was almost up, some of us began to look a little more closely at the progress of our education, a thought that seldom entered our heads beforehand. By the next semester, however, the attitude of they never flunk second semester seniors reared its ugly head and we trotted back to Bill's carrying the banner of l can get more education from one bull session than I can from fifty classes. Considering the circumstances, a surprising amount of optimism was present regarding our futures. The male contingent was faced by the draft, and the female element was up against a man-power shortage. Yet a surprising number of people were seeking jobs instead of resignedly awaiting the call to arms. T'was a healthy note amidst the debunking, and negative atmosphere that permeated most of our education. When you stop and think about it, it might have been nice to have gone to college amongst old and settled halls and traditions, but perhaps some of Colby's pioneer spirit did, by chance, happen to rub off onto the Class of '52 making it all the richer for the experience. One thing is for sure, we never had it so good.
