SENIOR CLASS I-IISTCRY Mr. Retrospection, a very dear friend of all historians, offered one day to take me on a journey. I accepted without hesitation and, forgetting all the wor- ries and duties of the present, we sped back over the years. When the clouds of time cleared away, I discovered that we were approaching a broad gate- way, beyond which a row of stately maples towered above a walk leading to a group of buildings far in the back- ground. I immediately recognized it as the campus of E.S.S.T.C. and turned inquiringly toward my guide. I-le explained that it was September of 1934, and that the rather bewildered looking humans I saw hurrying hither and yon were the entering freshmen. As he informed me that our visit was to be four years in length, .we settled down to a life of observation. DR. HERBERT A. LORENZ Class Adviser Closer inspection and acquaintance proved the freshmen to be a very distinguished and intelligent group, several of whom had been high school salutatorians and valedictorians. It was a splendid group whose activities we viewed from all angles. We stood near the steps and listened While they chanted the school yells, and shall we say, murdered the college songs: We heard the commotion coincident to the paddlings administered by those dreaded, but helpful, upperclassmen: we were present when they elected their first class officers-Ted Balcomb, David I-leffner, Alice Mcl-Iugh, and Herbert Luff-and their adviser, Dr. Heiss: and We even tripped the light fantastic at the gala affair held in the Penn Stroud near the close of their initial college year. Time flies swiftly. We were soon greeting the same group returning to the campus as sophisticated sophomores. We followed them as they wended their way through the Deans' offices, past the table in Oakes Hall, into the registration rooms, thence to the business office, and finally to class meeting and listened as they elected Ed. Williams, Willard Gilham, Edna Reeves, and Norman Hopp to guide them through the year. As dances seemed to be the specialty, we joined the happy throng as they went through the line and over to the Gym the night of the Annual Reception: as they laughed and whirled 2 ,E merrily in the dining room at Christmas Time: as they rode in taxies through Q' the rain to the Armory for the Guest,Dance: and finally to Pocono Manor for 2, ' f, the crowning event of the year-the Sophomore Prom. 52 ff X f ,lf We next met the class of '38 as Iolly Iuniors, guided by Iames Loughney, l Z Iohn Carr, Evelyn Curtis, and Anthony Blysak.
