KNOW that we've reached that status we won- der it we are so different, or was our imagination working over-time when we thought that sophistication was an adjective invariably applied to seniorsl The sophs were terrors, too. We well remember shivering on our beds while our next door neighbor was dunked in a tub ot icy water one night soon after our arrival. It didn't take us long, though, to learn the regulations, pre- cedents galore, and soon we were in

It seemed that we were always crawling out of bed at some unheard of hour to carry out some tradition that was men- tioned vaguely by some upperclassman. We didn't always get directions straight either. Remember singing Christmas carols one Sunday morning at the fac- ulty homes? We always wondered what they thought when our wavering voices tchattering teeth, you knowl interrupted their peaceful slumbers. Liz was noted that year for the Blue Goose, one of the few cars on campus, instead of for her autographed cast. One of the biggest social events of the year was Prof Claydon's masquerade party. I-low well we remember Thomp- son, Johnson, and Pray charmingly at- tired in tunics and hair bows. The big mystery of the year could aptly be en- titled The Strange Disappearance of the Silverware. We know some sen- iors who could solve that riddle, too. A traditional event with an unusual as- pect was May Day. That year we ac- tually ate breakfast on the I-Ieart, and we remember shivering in our crepe paper aprons as we hurried to serve the creamed chicken and strawberries be- fore they froze. I943 was a war year, and because of that we had the honor of having a greater percentage of men than any FRANCIS PRAY VIRGINIA ROHRBOUGI-I JOHN ROGERS ,V N Page t tv th Q
