enzfom September 1957. There were more than two hundred of us then. We were starry-eyed, hope- ful, and full of enthusiasm-in other words we were typical freshmen. When we descended on Cowles Hall that first fateful day we weren't a class, we were a bunch of individuals. But through diligence over a four year period we have be- come a class of individuals. When we think back to freshman year, we re- member the big things: election of our first class president, Jackie Jackson, choosing our first set of Patron Saints, the Tobiases, and of course Buddy Night and May Day with lovely Carol McKinnie as our Sophomore queen. But we especially re- member the little things: the malfunctioning can- dy machines in Cowles, the discovery that our 1961 banner is the only one in the history of Elmira College that looks the same upside down, a surprise visit of 4 Cornell pledges to 2nd floor Cowles, and an epidemic of Asiatic flu. Among our major disappointments that year-losing both the skits and Merry Chanters. Sophomore year we returned-at least most of us did-still hopeful and eager. We knew our way around and without too much confusion we settled down in Perry Hall for another year of smashing defeat. We became Big Buddies, we saw Connie Hoffman crowned May Day queen, and we will never forget Judy Auntie Mame Pascale our Mock May Day queen, emerging from her milk wagon. Our first Father-Daughter Weekend was an experience to remember. Let- ting our hair down at picnics, parties, and dances with the best dates in the world--our Dads. Among our major -disappointments that year: losing the skits, Merry Chanters, our Patron Saints, and half of our original class. We began our Junior year by gathering and guiding our brood of Little Sisters. Our new res- idence Main Street Dorm became the center of our activities. There we chose our new Patron Saints, the Junkers, and we planned to write a winning skit, and Merry Chanters song, but the Senior class officers: Nancy MacLeod, Alice Holmes, Karen Shoemaker, presidentg Barbara Demarest. Knights of Old lost out to a tribe of Amazons and Merry Chanters judges obviously had not read the college catalogue. The biggest event of the year was our own Junior Prom with Jackie Jessup as our queen. Shultz and Dooley will ever be branded upon our memories. Our last Father- Daughter Weekend unbelievably topped our first. Our Dads felt more at home meeting old friends from the year before. No summary of Junior year would be complete without mentioning 'fthe Whistler. Senior year came at last. Tompkins Hall with its traditional significance, and its spiders, be- came our headquarters. We began by putting our hearts, souls, talents, and energies behind our Senior Weekend. Class co-operation was at its peak and the result was a wonderful experience of which each of us can be proud. We consider this year a very special one, even though we had lost our second set of Patron Saints, and our skit never did make it. Looking back on the work and play, laughter and tears, accomplishments and disappointments of four years, we cherished most of the friend- ships we have made, the insights we have gained, and the joys that come from living and working creatively.
