I-Irstron L' -- 2 X managed to keep with the true Fordham spirit and, in spite of the many obstacles we presented, they persevered, and we are happy that they did, for some of our fondest memories were born at the Webster. The Passion Play, the class l T xn tg party at Clarke's, the basketball games and the lnter- I Tee N class Dinner symbolized the meeting of the'clan's, ' in xx . Our spare time was well spent in preparation for A Q A' ' Ms Q NS Q Tropicana, our Junior Prom, in the basement ' 1'-3 , 1 A2 Z? S - of Dealy Hall. This was the year that palm trees . S ? E f- came to Fordham along with Bert and Harry, 7 Z RE E- W and the fun of the Prom really started when L! f . X 5 E we transplanted our paper foliage from NE ' 5 Mt, y 'gk 2 - Dealy to the gym. Preparations for summer Ag , 4, ba wlllllill camp were made as our future lieutenants X f Tis 7 , i tilt' 'T T found themselves the best summer job XX N , l S fgf: E H ' a guy could have. This was also the year X ? W E that the Maroon Quill celebrated its fif- L 'l WM ,j 5 P teenth year of publication, Father Lennon l l W - T ' and Mr. Sexton were honored with the X NW -:, T' .

As in past 1 D- F W WI ,jtijlt Nl, ' years our annual retreat was held in the Uni- -A A jsp, j ww jill versity Chapel. The spiritual valueof all our 1 5 ' WW. f .ii-f' Njtl retreats has been reflected in the lives of all the X j T jf' 'j '. students. Fathers Bowen and Englert contributed , f - X to a more liberal education. As this the lgnatian Q X I 5 Q 7 A Year drew to a close, ours was a friendship that had jj if ' 9 7 1 Nxt grown and developed over the years. lt has been cul- l , ' . minated into a feeling of closeness and mutual respect Z si by ' through united activity. f s 99 - it T j v , , y ill , SENIOR No 9 Z v vllllll Seniors at last! We had progressed to the top of the ik -- itll ladder. The Student Council, the yearbook, the Quill and the T' ,will Sodality, among others, became a more intimate part of our extra- A 4 , ,itl curricular life. This year brought with it our study of social problems F -'ful and labor problems, to mention just two of our many. A Dutch Z Treat, financially and socially, proved to be the most successful Mission Dance yet. The rapid pace brought upon us the Twentieth Annual lnter- ' class Dinner and those Tales of the South Pacific. The holiday season saw another year of basketball in the Garden, late night work meeting our yearbook deadlines, and preparations for Senior Week. We all prepared for our first interviews as we stressed the importance of the Fordham graduate in this wide, wide world. T Future positions were being secured, commissions awaited and some problems were resolved while others began as that wedding day gradually came upon us. Senior week will always be re- membered as a fitting close to four significant years with its dinner, theater party, cocktail parties, l Senior Prom and beach party. Graduation Day needs no mention in our yearbook to bring it to mind, as it is aday which we can never forget during our lives. V n Our Senior year was a symbolic one in that it experienced a fight for the cause of freedom- one in which we all joined forces with the youth of Hungary in hopes that some day they will be free of the bonds of Communist suppression, and enjoy the freedom that is ours. Many memories are necessarily omitted in a history such as this, as each of us had his own cherished ones. Let us hope, however, that the events mentioned here, ,representative of our activi- ties as a class, shall live in our hearts. T S A

CLASS Four years is a long time-especially when we are waiting for them to pass. But looking back, it seems like just yesterday that we waited on line at the treasurer's office for our first library cards. We have many memories of ourtfour years at Fordham, some big and outstanding, others seemingly insignificant to the observer who was not directly concerned with them. They are nevertheless, our memories and they are our four years, for they belong to the Class of l957. F Fines:-:MAN I ln September, l953, we raw recruits began our long, hardsclimb to the top. Our basic training lasted for a , brief period, after which we all received our first taste of'combat: Monday morning accounting tests, Mr. Steinborn's Keating Tower lectures, term papers, Mr. Sexton's now appreciated humor, balance sheets, iMr. Diskin's Life 'Savers and long eve- ningsat the library. we met with moderate success throughout the first semester until that disastrous Jan- uary offensive which 'necessitated a com- plete regrouping of our forces as our ranks were cut almost in half. But after the reorganization theclass had a great deal of spirit as is evident as we look back' on the football week-ends, intramurals, the Mission Dance, that never-to-be-forgot- ten trip to Little Africa, the softball game between eighteen-man teams and the change-of-pace on St. Patrick's Day. Socially, intellectually and spiritually we looked forward to the years ahead. T T T SOPHOMORE One down and three to go! was our cry as we-entered second year. Debits and credits were gone, business cycles had vanished and in their places came our majors and the other pitfalls of Sophomore year. Will -we ever forget Daisy Miller, that week-end in Boston, the Speech final and the games at the Polo Grounds? Then on that bleak De- cember day the death .knell tolled for intercollegiate football at Fordham., lt was then, as it is today, our sin- cerest hope thatperhaps some day this tradition might y resurrected to the place it once enjoyed on our campus. But, T taking Sophomore year asa whole, it might-be said, in the immortal words of Mr.,Bryde, Generally, this has been a great and fruitful 4 year. , W 15, JUNIOR , i At long last we became Juniors and were exposed to such new fields of S It learning as Philosophy and literary criticism, and our economic electives were ours to master. li ji School rings became a reality, County Fair was a must, and who will ever forget the favors ll at the Junior Prom! A most vivid memory is of the Chambers and those seemingly endless ll Friday afternoons and nights. Who but us can understand our sadness when Chambers closed j ln ll forever that summer? Generations of Fordhamites had passed down those stairs, but it seems , that it took our class to send Nick into retirement. Uptown, Vinnie and Frank of the Webster
