freshman class President Wilfred Sheldon Vice-President Charles McGregor Secretary George Bergner Treasurer Joseph Gropper If this year ' s bumper crop of freshmen, the largest ever, appears to suffer from a severe epi- demic of megalomania, don ' t call a psychiatrist. The year had not yet begun when we were eulo- gized as the cream of the crop, the pick of a mul- titude of artistic aspirants. Such praise and op- timism on the part of the faculty was bound to produce an occasional braggadocio or at least convert a flock of uncertain freshmen into a galaxy of bombastic hopefuls. By virtue of his preponderance, the knowledge- hungry veteran has dominated this class, making it a trifle older than freshmen groups in the past, and allegedly more sophisticated. Although he is no self-professed pedant, he has taken his work seriously, and this attribute has had a wholesome effect on all concerned. The class of 1950 has enjoyed its first year at MSA and has replied with cooperation and par- ticipation in all activities. We have strived earn- estly to live up to expectations, and before the next three years have passed we may prove well- deserving of our advance notices and premature praise.

Time — weird and intangible, yet ever present, before whom the world pays hom- age on its tired knee; trying to grasp, in desperation, the hem of its garment and thus stay the hurrying hours. If it could but pause awhile for us to breathe — yet always we are rebuffed and we pick our- selves out of our corner only to discover its pace has increased. Time — yesterday we began, we sophis- ticated sophomores. Yet yesterday is eons ago and between then and now are left the vaguest recollections of a night ' s dream. A dream of things all huddled together in enormous space, yet the space, still lim- ited; the hushed warnings from the seats of the wise; smoothly bouncing subway cars in and out on endless tracks that stretch forever into the empty ether; blurred faces seen once, seen time and time again, lost in the maze of a Dali world; the escaping steam of New Haven trains somehow sounding like the kiss of a new brush on canvas; falling leaves coating the pavement with ice, and with all — the taste of midnight coffee; the front humer- uses with and without side Deltoids joining the Latissimus Dorsi at the external angular process; Kupfie ' s cadmium spreading over the brownstone Summer House for a Family of Four whose three foot overhang never does vanish at the horizon line and through- out the whole — the advancing and re- treating face of Blake ' s Tiger. Tearing the last vestige of fog from our eyes we discover time. Time — weird intangible and everpresent has increased his pace and even the junior cannot grasp his hand or halt his progress — time.
