’53 A class hislory made up of facts. pictures and dales cannot accurately portray our years at Ho- bart. but it can serve as a blank wall which each of us can decorate with his own experiences. The result — like most of our college rooms — will be interesting if not artistic. Well, let’s try our hand at decorating a typical room and see what it looks like!. . .Hi. Are you my roommate? 1 ibought you were the guy from the Railway Ex- press! ... You'd better take that bed. because your prep school banner won't lit on this wall. . . .Which way is Willie Smith?. . . Hey Roomy, help me put up these drapes my mother sent — or are they bedspreads?... I'm not really wor- ried about those Anticipatory Tests, but who was the old boy mumbling something about 'ninety-nine per cent of you will Hunk’?. . .We can put the beer labels on the door and the Ladies Room’ sign over the closet. . . Look, you can see three other barracks and a telephone pole from this window. . .Next year. . . Lennox, Lassiter, Sutton, Tuttle (amr.s Lassiti r. Hoovkr Sutton Jkrry Tun i.i. . .

Classes . . . AND IN RETROSPECT . . . Everyone was convinced that those hulks floating in the mud would sink as soon as the tide came in, but the administration assured us that the barracks were well anchored and the piles of lumber were for walls, not. for a floating drydock. We all kept in great shape — continual- ly lugging our blankets and trunks from one place to another while they finished our “suites . The football season was pulled out of the fire by an upset victory over Rochester, but only after a rather indescreet elephant had unceremoniously expressed his (or her) opinion of our record during the half at the Union game. The Class of ’50 got here just in lime to help celebrate Hobart s 125lh anniversary, topped off by graduation exercises attended by many notables, including Mrs. Franklin 1). Roosevelt. The Little Theatre experimented with three one-act plays, including “Where the Cross is Made . Presi- dent John Milton Potter's death was sincerely fell by all, though we had only been on the campus a few months. The Coordinate Courses, which he had fathered, were for the first year introduced as the framework of Hobart s liberal education, and carried on under Acting President Durfee.
