FOUR, FIVE, cmd more years ago, this present Senior class entered Lawrence Tech. Some started in day school, some in night school. As freshmen, we encountered trouble the first week in the form of sophomores, The hazing welded the classes together into a unit, and gradually, each class began to assume a personality quite distinct and different from others. fAnd remember the school in those days. The south wing was a maze of empty nooks and crannies-ideal hiding spots from pursuing sophs. There was the reading room where reception room and offices are, the recreation room in place of the library, while the fourth floor was empty and used chiefly for chalk and eraser fights. Van the Bussum held sway in the News office, and Miss Dooley had no good looking assistantsl Sophomores-and the world was ours. Friendships were formed and numerous activities entered into. Classes grew smaller as failures and drops took their toll. The world was taken apart and put together in daily bull sessions. Those of us in night school kept plugging along, with little time for activity. School itself was our recreation flztemember the four man basketball games at noon, lunch at Palmer Park, fraternity pledging, and skip days.l Pre-juniors-and the half-way mark. We began to specialize and school took on a new interest. Although we didn't know it our rah-rah days were ending. Soph-frosh rows were beneath our notice. Paramount was interest in our subjects. fRemember the school and fraternity dances, the Moonlights, the football and basketball games, Founders Days, and Bingo parties.J luniors-the I-Prom gave us a chance to express ourselves. We could see the end of the road ahead, with lab reports and tests, study and work, obstructing the way. fRemember the I-Prom -the music and atmosphere, the large crowd, the Grand March and the favors-and we made money.l Seniors-at last we're tops. Looking forward to graduation day, yet hating to see it come. In the past years many changes and improvements were made at the college. Not so apparent, but just as factual were the changes in ourselves during this period. The influence of the school and its components upon our concepts, ambitions, and personalities perhaps can never be measured, but suffice it to say, we shall always be grateful to Lawrence Tech.
