IIISTDRY 0F THE ERTAINLY nothing so new or strangely different had ever before struck Dickinson's campus-the class of '39 had arrived. Upperclassmen stood aside, and gaped and wondered. But when the various odds and ends of personalities began assorting and asserting themselves, the upperclassmen were convinced that we were equal to any situation, no matter how peculiar. Memorable events of the year: the Frosh-Soph fight, which started in front of Conway and proceeded in un- dressed merriment down High Street, the denouement for several participants being a draughty night in the Carlisle cooler. Then there was the Freshman picnic, where we set a new high in eating records, discouraging the college officials so much that they have discontinued traditional picnics from that very day. Even the picnic's end was tragic! Who can forget the battle of hard-boiled eggs at Conway or the heaps of peanut shells at Metzger? Remem- ber the amazing night when sedate young Metskirts crept from their boudoirs Cafter lights out, mind youD to celebrate a Gettysburg victory by crashing the rat races and in- vading Conway Hall? Of course you recall Kleinschmidt's Cnow famous, then infamousl organization meeting. There was a nice assortment of bald heads here and there on the campus after a tribunal attack. Leap-year week was in- augurated, and with it, resulting confusion. As old Dickinsonians we came back able to remember the days when we wore dinks and were on rules.

On the gridiron Sammy Padjen showed us that he was lirst-team material, and our general future in football seemed promising. But instead of being worldly wise, we were still bothered with growing pains. Being Sophs, we discovered, didn't guarantee com- plete sophistication. The Freshmen managed to kidnap one of our number- poor Tull-but they were repaid with vengeance. We embarked on a prolonged program of Freshman heckling. The Frosh-Soph flag scrap was a pushover for the mighty Sophomores. The Junior year finally did roll around, and our class blossomed forth in the customary manner by snatching all offices in view and by installing the new regime of the class of '39, Our yearbook got under way with Wiley at the head, and Chris Graf became the new editor of the Dickin- ronian. 'In most of the clubs, our class became the ruling s 1r1t. p Our Prom with the million-dollar orchestra leader, Charlie Barnett, was acclaimed by all, and even by the Dickimoniarz was described a great success. The gym was a symphony in swing, with musical notes dancing all over the room and shadow jitterbugs cutting up on the walls. A revolving crystal globe added a sparkling touch to a Page 30
