Per- haps the chance to run our own show was all the Class of '57 needed to blossom forth into gold-star players and managers. Though the stage was in something of an upheaval for very welcome set improvements the stars remained calm and sure-footed through the tests of Homecoming, the routing miscombobulations of Commencement planning, the strain of Comprehensives, and at last through the grand performance of June ninth. We smiled at our unspectacular reputation when the challenge of our last undergraduate Homecoming turned on the pressure, and let fly with that final spurt of energy we knew ALL good runners and Derby winners save for the home stretch. Dark horse or no, we took win and place in the Float and clean-up contests! After opening our float campaign with a picnic at the Perfect Hideout, MILES from campus, search parties of jealous understudies chased Senior builders through two new locations, until we finally found refuge in the old home of our Junior float and put together the Land- slide Victory for Earlham. Unsuccessful at sabotage, a group of beanied bit players concentrated their efforts and traditional shoveling techniques on smearing the spotlessly raked Heart, but the stars accepted their runner-up position with dignity. We refused to play prima donna through any of our most important year. The special personal interest each of us felt in seeing new Earlham Hall develop and in helping to make plans for it with the stars-to-be was reflected in our careful fostering of the enthusiasm and affection that will warm the new raw building into a part of the scene we've known and loved. The activities and emotions with living through one's senior year added up to a unique experience for most of us. This final year of college was unquestionably a busy one with completing our major fields of study, and assuming leadership in many extra-curricular activities. But as the year wore on, there were times when we be- gan to feel that three years of exams, papers, and eight o'clocks had been enough! And something about those spring days left more than one Senior feeling about ready to burst as he muttered, puzzled, But I took a light load this semester on PURPOSE! But when the curtain dropped, and we walked dowr from Chase Stage, we were looking forward to all the promised results of our college years: graduate school for some, jobs for others, and marriage for a starry-eyed majority.
