Home is where you make it and for most GW students home is Dole Hall. Dorm life is filled with all kinds of memories—bull sessions; the 7:55 washroom rush; borrowed cuff links, ties and money; affectionate good-byes in front of the co-ed entrance; the monotonous clicking of typewriters at term paper time; and somewhere sandwiched in between ... a moment of quiet and sleep.

Commencement. . . The days have now faded into weeks, the weeks to months, the months to quarters, and the quarters to years, and the years have passed by and Commencement is here. There’s a rustling of robes and the gentle splashing of the tassel on your face and the rhythmic beating of footsteps across the quadrangle and up the stairs to the large gym. The observers perhaps unconsciously wonders if these dig¬ nified people can really be the informal, carefree students that they know so well. A kind of tinkling sensation runs down your spine as you march down the aisle where you once played volley¬ ball and tennis and watched the basketball games. There’s an almost endless waiting through greetings and con¬ gratulatory remarks and the Commencement address . . . and finally the conferring of degrees. You stand, your wees are neak, your stomach does a full flip and a half gainer as Dr. Steinhaus calls your name. You walk across the platform smiling, your tassel brushing softly against your cheek and you receive your diploma and a personal congratulation from Dr. McCurdy. It’s hard to realize that it’s now really finished—that your George Williams College days are over but you real¬ ize as never before that Commencement is only a beginning. 1946 1949 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 Active Registrations Autumn Quarter Census . 365 .400 .255 .223 .214 .250 .303 . 319 58 17
