Q 3 1. ' IIIWQMIII 'III I ' .Ill ior Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth, That I to manhood am arrived so near, And inward ripeness doth much less appear, That some more timely-happy spirits indu'th Yet be it less or more, or soon or slow, It shall be still in strictest measure even To that same lot, however mean or high, Toward which Time leads me, and the will of Heaven All is, if I have grace to use it so, As ever in my great Task-master's eve. -MILTON 7

PAA 6'5 Q- -1 'v 'v Histor of the Class of 1959 The phrase alumnus of Fairfield University not only denotes an individual who has attained a degree of perfection in a liberal education in the arts and sciences, but it also has an unique significance. To the University graduates it is a source of retrospection and memories- the faculty, lectures, classmates, and activities. It cen- tralizes the satisfaction, the joys, and the disappoint- ments that are encompassed in a college education. Each member of the Class of 1959 will enthusiastically reminisce about special episodes and moments in his college life which he shared with his classmates. These events are the basis of our narrative, their spontaneity its life. Perhaps it was with less than cheery optimism that we made our way to Xavier Hall that first regis- tration day. Yet our wills were strengthened by the wealth of welcomes we received from the men in the red blazers who greeted us. And we needed stamina to survive the myriad blank forms that would be served upon us throughout that week, and those costly jaunts to the book store. If we had failed to realize that college was an expensive proposition before, the figure on the cash register quickly enlightened us. There was a double sense of newness that September day, for it not only meant registration for 270 freshmen, but it also marked the opening of the first campus dormitory, Loyola Hall. One hundred and twenty of our number were to be treated there to the pleasures of home and campus re- strictions during that year. We received much advice during our initiation days to college life, but we mainly remembered the juniors tips on what local spirit estab- lishments would serve those under twenty-one. Orienta- tion week quickly expired, and though we had our own ideas on education we were introduced to another- the Ratio Studiorium. We were becoming intellectu- als,', so we thought, but we soon discovered how little we knew after Mr. D's first history test. Its repercus- sions were scared collegians and more diligent study. Our first elections were held in October, and we selected Bob Scanlon, Dave Drongoski, Steve Poor, and Bob Perez as the freshmen representatives to the Student X if Senior retreat
