The year, 1955 rolled around to behold another group of Freshman that were just a bit extraordinary. One reason was that our class was larger in number and perhaps more mischievous. The class officers of that year were: President, Freida Hollander, Vice-president, Rachel Braun, Secre- tary, George Rinkerg Treasurer, Dorothy White. The class found that all these years they had been sheltered by a shell from the more rugged ele- ments of life. Each took it upon himself to find out what lay concealed in the future and the year closed with each inquisitive mind having achieved a small bit of sophistication.
