When we returned, it was to study, term papers, exams. The only redeem- ing feature was the frosh-soph snowball fight, in which everyone was soaked. ln February came the Sophomore Prom and, for the first time, the choos- ing of a King and Queen of Hearts. Aileen Bohrs and Bed Walsh walked off with the Boyal Honors and proudly led the Grand March. With the spring came baseball, plus new uniforms, spaghetti dinners, the first press banquet spring fever, and the skunk! The freshmen held their formal at Phelps Manor with complete success, both financially and otherwise, due mostly to the co-chairmen Naomi Sarlat and foe Martorelli. May arrived, and with it last minute rushing to get ready for the long- awaited May Fete. The theme was Dance and Song Cavalcade of America, and Aileen Bohrs was our Queen. Baccalaureate, senior week, graduation, goodbye to the sophs, and, at long last, summer vacation! When we came back for our sophomore year, registration was no longer confusing, and, with our superior knowledge, we could chuckle a bit at the wondering freshmen. Hazing was fun. This year they called us sir and miss. Over the summer Miss Iohnson, Miss Terhune, and Mr. Benson had been married. Four instructors were added to the faculty, Miss Headings, Dr. Buc, Mr. Hargest, and Dr. Hallett. lack Hamilton's dog Sonny was imme- diately adopted by the college as their pet. This year the football season was just one thrill after another, as Coach Bell pulled the Indians through their first undefeated season. October saw the start of the Civil Aeronautics course, sponsored by the Government. October and November were busy months what with the Little Sister Tea, pledging, election of class officers, buying of ground for an athletic field, and the changing of the date of Thanksgiving. Came December, the lnterfraternity-Sorority Dance, and vacation. Ianuary again brought exams and term papers, but we were getting used to it. The Soph Prom was set for February and a great success it was, with Dot Kielman and Dave Wallwork as Queen and King of Hearts. Work was started on the rebuilding of the Barn Theater. Soon came March, and with it the skunk for a return engagement. Sub- sequently, the N. Y. A. boys found him dead under the lunchroom floor. The days flew until along came Easter vacation and the spring cruise, this time to Havana. Varsity Show! Never-to-be-forgotten. Mousey, Miss Andy, Casey-a gal- axy of Bergen stars. Varsity Show! What memories it will always bring! Now, as our yearbook goes to press, we look forward to, the spaghetti dinner, Freshman Formal, press banquet, and the May F ete, this year with a Showboat theme. Then will come senior week, and its round of parties. And so our history draws to a close-no, not a close, for there is gradua- tion, and that is just the beginning-just the beginning of our day.
