Classes . . . AND IN RETROSPECT . . . Maybe we didn't go out with a bang, but there sure were enough blazes around during our Senior year. Fair- child's Restaurant burned and our cafeteria caused a few heated moments. The insurance company is probably still wondering about the coincidence of the drive for funds for a new chemistry building and the fire in the present client lab. Along the same lines, there was quite a bit of heat generated by the wanderings of the statue of Minerva at Wells College.
