And fin the Ciris in Miller House... Top I Ini, Tie. N‘ Tails... THE SOCIAL Three new names in our Greek-letter world came on campus in our Freshman year... Phi Tan was lounded. Gamma Sigma was given the business by the IFC when it tried to go national. . .and old Alpha Pi Delta became Phi Sigma Kappa. . .The YV.S. Dean “reluctantly” pushed Saturday night permission to 12:30 and the “hill” jam moved ahead another hall- hour. . .Gamma Sigma finally went Beta Sigma I au in our Soph year. . .The “Hobarteers” were the talk of the musically inclined side of our quad. . .and no- body liked Ray McKinley at Spring Weekend. . .In our Junior year we all ate in Hunk’s Hash House and the IFC and the Herald met each other in battle (neither was right). . .Phi Tau added Kappa to its name. . .Spring Weekend went crazy with free favors — two bands in the New Union and a sixty-five piece band on the quad. . .This was even better than life in the old Franklin or after-hours time at Kash- onga, highlights of the previous year. . . But all were sorry when Acropolis Hops at Sig Phi (with or with- out togas) were outlawed. . As Seniors, things were very peaceful in the Greek world with Pete Ash as I.F.C. proxy — a very sane man. THE ATHLETIC The St. John-Cardillo pass “a la 30 seconds to go” and Gordv Satterley’s lowdown “henhawk” 60 feet from the crease were what amazed us as Frosh. . . But in our Sophomore year, a bald eagle named Spike Garnish came down from Rochester and put basket- ball and baseball on the Hobart schedule... but a plucky Statesman eleven could do little more than raise the Columbia Lion’s eyebrows a hair. . . In our Junior year, the city of Geneva gave us a little guy named Sonny Wilson who proceeded to shatter to atoms all existing local hoop records... Our own Willy (six-yard Yogi) Michels plus underclassmen Howie Smith. Don Brashcho, Dinty Bruno, and Bill Morton helped Hobart to their best grid season for quite a spell in our Senior year. 33 From a Hole in the (oound,. Mark-1 nick Morion Thru Center

II adds up after a while The veep and Pal stop some whistles Winners by unanimous derision h.A THE HONORIFIC There was little honor and fewer honors for the Class of 53 in their Freshman year. . . few of ns wore our freshmen ties and still fewer were punished for the “offense”. . .Margaret Mead honored Hobart with a speech about the causes of the Anglo-American babies during World War 11... Gordon Satterlcy, famous for his swooping “henhawk shot”, was men- tioned for All-Amer. lacrosse honors... But in our Sophomore year, a Hobart Alumnus got a Stalin Peace Prize. . .our class was awarded the distinction of taking HLA with the Freshmen for a full year. . . During that same year, the college curriculum was approbated by the Episcopal Church. . As Juniors, we were given the chance to live in the new dorms (with no closets), eat en masse at Hunk s, and some of us thought they couldn’t do it to us. But they did. . . As Seniors, Hobart got 540,000 in grants for scholar- ships, E. E. Griffith was elected Pres, of N.Y. Drama Assoc., and we found that the tuition had gone up. THE ACTIVE As Frosh, we saw Brady and Silver battle it out while dueling in Little Theatres “Richard HI”. . . The Opera Workshop startled the campus with Col- bert and Sully’s “Patience. . .and there was a great chorus line in our new-borne baby, “ The Variety Show”. . .As Sophs the Board imposed second-term pledging. . .Beta Sigma Tau was born from the old Gamma Sigma. . .The Variety Show goi bigger and better. . . As Juniors, we saw the Board go back to the early pledge date, and Little Theatre wow ’em with “Light Up the Sky”. . . In our Senior year, Paul Ber- kowsky played his “Rumpelstiltskin” to 10,000 kids, and The Herald got in the black thanks to Jaffin, Burton, and Weissman, and Schola Cantorum gave Beethoven’s Ninth. . .And we saw just about every- thing go to POT. 32 gee, a Senior
