Postcards in themselves are seldom significant, but their contents at times can bring about great changes in the lives of the recipients. The cards We had the good for- tune to receive in the summer of 1955 were of tremendous import. To us they were the railroad reservations for the Fordham Express bound for distant realms of higher learning. A All aboard! First stop - Freshman Year! We Will never forget our first few nights at Fordham. Our indoctrination into college college life began. It was called Orientation Weekf' During these days we were in- troduced to the Dean and many of the teachers for the first time. The golden rules were explained by the Assis- tant Dean and the societies by a few of the upperclassmen. After orientation, we had our first Retreat, the perfect Way to start a school year . . . We elected class officers . . . joined in the activities of the school paper, Sodality, and business clubs . . . cheered lustily at basketball games . . . put in a fine attendance at the Mission Dance and Inter- class Dinner . . . and had a successful class party. As a group, We are moving like a Well oiled machine, each part performing its work and cooperating with the others to complete a given task. Let us hope that this spirit will ride with us throughout our years at Fordham until we reach our final destination on graduation day. All aboard! Next stop - Second Year! 145 5 .,-i it .iai if! a ChlssxOHicerS - 'CS R-5 .s.i. Mdodys 'n'PresidHntsf i Thvmasinelr tM11l!iBan, FTIQQSLSQIQ T0n'igMurP11y5 Vive. President: nB?frb2ara ,Secretafylt

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.

Among the characters depicted, one found people from varied phases of life - Secretaries, Bookkeepers, Salesmen, Industrial Workers, Veterans, and others comprised our well-rounded cast. . Tension mounted, and finally the curtain rose on our first class. The opening scenes were awkward, but after a few performances, embarrassment and shyness left, and the wonderful feeling of belonging seemed to enter all of us. With the help of our coaches, Messrs. Flynn, Murphy, Reddy, Salter and Tessoriere, we became polished per- formers, each helping the other along the way to find knowledge, friendship and happiness at Fordham. As our season ends, we wish to say that we know our efforts have not been in vain, and we have gained more than just a year of study. We have gained the knowledge of the fact that Fordham is the school for us. We cannot help but feel a deep appreciation of the splendid opportun- ity that we have been given as students of the University, and we are looking forward to many more years of intel- lectual advancement. 146
