 Sanlot dkass Kz istoti Riding high on the prospect of new adventure, a crop of new Freshmen came to the campus of Millersville in September 1953. These students were destined in four years to leave their mark on the college with the help of the faculty and the administration. Beginning with the traditional tea at the Pres-dent’s home, a rash of activities was planned and continued through that first untried year. Some of the activities sponsored by the eager Freshmen were a dance in the Rat Race called the ''Turkey Flap” and the big dance in the spring with a Monte Carlo theme. The beginning of the Frosh Paper” was one of the most outstanding projects of the year. In May, these ”not-$o-grccn” students were able to look back on a list of fine achievements. Along with the fall season in 1954 came the famous words of Buttons” and 'Who do you love?” that were emitted from the throats of the members of the Sophomore class during Freshmen initiation. That was a glorious year, for there were many wonderful things that took place. Many will remember the Winter Wonderland dance and the float titled Slaves of Learning” that was the Sophomore representation in the College Centennial parade, which, incidentally, won first prize. ☆ ☆ Surely the greenness” was disappearing from this group as they enrolled for their Junior year. The biggest event was the Junior Prom held in November, a huge success mainly because of the beautiful decorations based on the harvest moon. Many other activities, too numerous to mention, were put on by that aging group. When they left the campus in the spring, what experiences, adventures and memories they left behind! Student-teaching was the big issue facing the Seniors individually as they came back to their greatest and final year. Many of the members were missing because they were off-campus. Many friends were separated for the first time in four years. But for the group the problems were of a different nature, such as the Senior play and, most important, the Senior Prom. The Male Animal” was well received by the student body. Many things made this an exciting year. Having pictures taken, and being measured for caps and gowns were two of the big worries. May 3, 1957 at the York Country Club Seniors enjoyed the social night of all four years. It was the Senior Ball in all its glory. Finally, the day arrived that these Seniors had slaved and worried over for four years. A little sadness, much happiness, marked the farewell of the graduating class of 1957. Ruth Foster Historian
