September of 1955 saw the forming of a new class here at Fordham that was known as Freshman C. After three days of Campus Orientation and registration, we embarked on our newest venture, bearing in mind the many points which were emphatically impressed upon us by The Seniors. As the first week passed, the cautiously silent group en- countered the same problems, viz . . . that of sizing up the teachers, ourselves and the scanning of the calendar for the date of our next holiday. Finding our professors virtually impossible to break down into, their dissolvable parts, we endeavored to figure out each other. The class, for some strange reason, had singled off into three groups: The Veterans, The Recent Grads and The Girls fall three of ieml. This was undoubtedly our biggest problem, the integration of the troops and, as Bill Sinclair would say, We spent many hours in the Beadeway trying to solve the problemf, The class went along smoothly in the early weeks until the first test! What else? With little time lost, we decided to place our confidence in Christ Drakopoulos, who we made Class President. He quickly showed his efficiency by organizing a class party which, coupled with his quiet manner, proved to be quite a success for all who attended. In the weeks to follow, we were kept informed of cur- rent events by Steve Barrow, who covered the Waterfront, Frank McGill, our Burns Dispatcher, jimmy Saul, the au- thority on postal regulations, and jack Collins, the Sports- caster. Our Accounting difficulties were solved by foe Schu- bert and Bob Cestola. james VValch became our traffic manager after missing his stop three times in one week, and Lurrana Farrell informed us of her plan to enter a Convent.

Freshman B CITY HALL Out of the chaos of the first weeks of starting college there emerged from the Freshman class a rather bewildered but ambitious group known as Freshman B. This feeling of newness was not to last long, for we soon became engaged in many extra-curricular activities. To those who had a flare for writing the Maroon Quill and Aries offered an outlet to prove their ability. The many other clubs and societies also presented to us their varied interests. What we will remember most is the people that made up our classg the incidents that happened, the sayings that were born and somehow seemed to stick . . . The unfor- gettable and emphatic THINK, . . . that famous last row in Accounting class which possessed the inevitable knack of always disappearing especially during second period . . . the pleasures and comforts of the Lounge which left us short on cuts and long on absences . . . Speech class with its great orators and voice recordings . . . Saint Peter . . . Jim the Rat . . . traffic tickets . . . and last but not least the Readeway. Put these all together and you have the memories of Freshman B, each a golden link which binds us closer as a class. Front Row: Louis Solano, Arthur I. Mella, Sylvia Cross, Robert T.

Pandemonium set in immediately with the eager adjustments to a new sched- ule, securing of texts, and the frightening experience of meeting the instructors for the lirst time. Eventually the wide-eyed, astonished look gave way to the furrowed brow of mental concentration. Within a few short weeks, since the birth of Freshman 1, the class has become a closely knit body of congenial per- sonalities brought together by a common purpose. Con- tributing to class humor is Don jankowski, with his numer- ous jokes and fantastic sea stories. Class elections resulted in the choice of Dick Bosco, President, Herbert Leis, Vice President, Bob Ulrich, Secre- taryg and Dick Dixon, Treasurer. Bob Ulrich was also chosen Captain of the class intramural basketball team. We are now at the point in our first year at the Fordham University School of Business where debits and credits are not as confusing and'trial balances are beginning to balance. The journey ahead now seems to be a long one, and with the help of God, may it be fruitful.
