and recei ' ing tons of literature. The rules applicable to, Gentlemen of Georgetown were explained with great care and detail. Classes were scheduled for the end of the first week, but due to the large registration, the ' were postponed until the following Monday. The freshman had a fine opportunity to enjo - himself o -er that long first week-end. Some played tennis, some went canoeing on the Potomac, some just loafed around their rooms, but all wrote home, ha -ing a wonderful time . . . Nothing to do! . . . That was the first week, and the first week onl -; for with classes on Monday, the fresh- men were introduced to their new teachers, to studies, to homework, and to a memorable volume entitled, Eight Prose Writers and those conte.xt questions! I used to sla -e o -er them for hours the night before the test, and still couldn ' t get o -er a se ent -. The - will recall that the - were THE class that year ... in sports, in studies, in all school acti ities. It was the - who re -i ed the tra- ditional G. U. spirit at the Hilltop, who made possible the swift transformation from a war- time to a peace-time college, with all that term implies. .After a few short months the Frosh was writing home, Just ha e time for a short note, Mom.

That happily con- ceived phrase not only as a political rallying cry. hut as a fullsome desire of the Keenan program was ery exidenth ' responsible for the election of Dick Keenan, joe Cook, and Gene Stewart to the highest student offices in the Uni -ersity. Dick, after his return from the ser ice, upon his arrixal at the Hilltop, saw the difference between the Georgetown of pre-war ears, and the one which met his determined leadership at the beginning of this ear. His first step toward cooperation and unification was the strengthening of the Student Council into an actually representative and governing body. As an indication of the spirited program of Dick ' s term of office, we only had to stand back and wonder at the imagination and spec- tacle of the campaign which he conducted. Garrulous publicity stunts were introduced, and prominent among the eye-catching events of that noisy, ebullient week, was the arri al on the campus of the Keenan campaign wagon covered with posters and the candidates ticket. A colonial wagon and four, surmounted b ' four comely models and a top-hatted dri er, rolled by the gates into Georgetown. .A stunt of one of Dick ' s rivals that will long be remembered was that sponsored by Jake Loftus, who commissioned an airplane to fly over the quadrangle and drop a bomb which exploded to send Vote for Loftus pamphlets flying abo e the heads of the amazed voters. The three ' ' ard Officers worked together in close harmony and were greatly responsible for producing greater social functions and ac- tivities on the campus. Cook, Keenan, Stewart
