9 3 5 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY JUNIOR COLLEGE ON the memorable d.ue of September IS, 1933, we, ,is a freshman class, stormed the School Upon the Hilltop with high ambitions and dauntless courage. Although trying to assume our best dignified manners, we found ourselves feeling very green and inexperienced as we wandered into the wrong rooms or came into classes late, with the plea that we had lost our way. Little did we dream, in our blissful innocence, of the schemes those treacherous Sophomores were planning in secret meetings to impose upon us. But after a few weeks of Freshman Rules — with green dinks and black ties, green ribbons, and black Stockings — we soon adjusted ourselves to our environment, and to the wishes of our oppressors. The first problem we had to face was the organization of our class, which took place at an early date. The leaders chosen for the year were: President, William West- burg; Vice President, William Gruver; Secretary, Virginia Farnsworth; Treasurer, Bruce Isaacson. Professor Skcath was elected our Class Adviser. Among the year ' s social events came the annual President ' s Reception where we were formally introduced to our professors. Later, the Chestnut Party served us a pleasant diversion from our classes — ■ but then they say Nature is a teacher in itself . The Greater Dickinson Banquet brought the reunion of many former students. Other successful social endeavors were the Halowe ' en Party, the Kid ' s Party, the Old Man and Old Woman ' s Party, and last but not least, the Freshmen Picnic at Wal- deisen ' s cabin. With Commencement came farewell to some and au revoirs to others, as we departed for our summer ' s vacation. But as September rolled around, we were not averse to returning to our books and former friends, with high hopes for the new year and the new acquaintances to be made. Meeting once more in a final effort to increase our knowledge at Dickinson, we elected the same officers as the previous year with one exception — Grace Duvall re- placed Virginia Farnsworth as Secretary. Dignity comes with tha passing of years. Those carefree Freshmen, now Sopho- mores, returned composed and reserved from their summer vacations, looking down on the new Freshmen as if they were microscopic. Our highest ambition was to make these Freshmen feel as uncomfortable and as humiliated as we had felt the previous year. Our second year proved even more interesting than the first, for we were more accustomed to College life and what was expcted of us. Taking part m the work of the school and in the many school activities such as athletics, dramatics, and recitals, the members of our class have made an outstanding record not only in extra curricular activities, but in scholastic achievement as well. Two more events will bring our happy years at Dickinson to a close — the presenta- tion of the class play, and then commencement, which will mark the end of many pleasant associations. May the memory of Dickinson linger long in our hearts, and her influence inspire us to strive in future years for our highest ambitions, knowing that they fall, and they alone, who have not striven .
