For the next eight weeks after this, many of us spent long tedious hours in the library bending over a book. How we labored over those English compositions! In the next three years, how- ever, we realized that this was nothing in com- parison to what would be expected from us in Creative Writing. But we tried to improve and the results were favorable. It was the early rec- ognition of the fact that college would require some effort to learn on our part that kept most of us from the fateful probation list which made its appearance on the campus in our senior year. Not all of our nights were spent studying, though, and these are the times that helped make college enjoyable for us. We all remem- ber the many times we would go en masse to the movies or a basketball game. Afterward it was inevitable that we should stop for some- thing to eat. Waitresses everywhere must dread college students with their one hundred and one different concoctions! We were no excep- tion. Robert A. Blessing Harrisburg, Pa.

We freshmen formed our own group to afford some degree of unity as protection from those outside our group. In the following days and weeks, however, we discovered that college was not going to be so bad after all — in fact, we were going to like it. We learned early in the year that a group gathered around the piano can do wonders to pick up a low morale. Or, if we had a problem of our own, we found too, that a long walk down by the quiet lake or over the peaceful fields, either alone or with a very close friend, would soon help to brighten our dilemma or make it seem less grave.

Some of us lived too far away or were just too busy to go home on week ends. How did we spend our week ends at E-C? Since Friday afternoon was market day, we always bought our weekly supply of doughnuts which was usually devoured the next morning when we were too lazy to get up for breakfast. What fun we had Friday evenings at the Scout House! None of us complained though when we had to change our Friday night shindigs from the Scout House to the Moose Building because of the crowd. Even there it was more than comfortably filled but we lived by the old adage, the more, the merrier. Depending upon the season of the year, our Saturdays were filled with diversified enter- tainment. Many were the times that the boys came to the livmg room of Fairview Hall on a Saturday afternoon. We played Scrabble and popped corn. If it snowed, what else could we do but have a snowball battle? Then, if it were basketball season, we all came in early so we could be ready for the game in the evening. The boys in our class certainly could play ball — all types. It was really a difficult decision to make when choosing the athlete of the year. Dave Boorse North Wales, Pa. B.S. in Secondary Education James N. Bortzfield Lancaster, Pa.
