IN RETROSPECT Will we ever forget the Class of ’44? We came from all pans of the country; most of us were in a daze trying to understand each other’s Southern drawls and having to contend with mid-western r’s; hominy grits were forgotten in favor of a hasty cup of coffee Not like previous years was it? Different surrroundings ; long hikes up to lunch at 4020; an accumula- tion of bus transfers; and our daily rides with “Herby”! Unforgettable too, were our sloppy moccasins, tweed skirts, wings pinned on baggy sweaters, velvet bands and long bobs, as we gazed longingly at the smooth sophistication of GarfinckePs clothes You must remember 3:15 on Fridays as the day students gaily discussed weekend plans and the boarders returned to Glenbrook and Gates] y, anticipating letter- writing and Frank Sinatra For weeks in advance the main topics of conversation were the notoriously gay week-ends in New York and Annapolis In the limelight were frequent visits to the Hot Shoppe and Nick ' s Dances at Wesley Heights and the Sulgrave Club were loads of fun even though Uncle Sam was hard to cope with However, life was not all bliss! Do you recall the fumes of H2S mingling with the odors of formalde- hyde . the lab students usually being late for their next period session with Hamlet . writing 20-page Spanish themes and trying to comprehend Confucian principles w r hile we were putting our homework off all weekend and always finding the alarm clock set for five a m on Monday We will always remember the thrill at Constitution Hall while listening to the symphonies, the glittering Ice Capa des, the Little Theater’s Christmas Play and their benefit production for the Red Cross; how deeply moved we were after hearing Mrs. Currier read “Silence of the Sea” What ever happened to the strict diets which we faithfully decided to follow for two weeks before every vacation? Looking back we will remember the wonderful times, lasting friendships and the enthusiastic spirit at M.V.S,
