Except for the riveting and the power shovel, we had a quiet beginning at N.U. Then after three grueling ten- week terms, we became exposed to a new and even stranger pattern of life as part of the vast and complex system known as the co-operative plan. Friends we had come to know and to love were ostracised one from another by something new in our lives called division A and division B. For the next four years our lives were a whirl of switching from school to job so that we were busy fifty-one weeks out of the fifty-two. W;Pg Of these most brisk and giddy-paced times: Come, but one verse. — Shakespeare

7 e ' tyea 4 etweea . . Sophomore September, 1954 -June, 1955 Our second year and a new kind of life. The class of ' 59 joined us, and the cycle began again for another group. N.U. was completely moved out of the YMCA that year, with the opening of the Physical Education Center, used extensively by freshmen classes, N.U. sports, The Boston Celtics, and ROTC drill classes on rainy days. Fraternity brothers of PBA and SPA ran off with the Rhode Island ram to start off the season. Then there was a hassle over the abolishment of the class officers, replaced by a class board. One of the most spectacular campaigns ever at N.U. made the Sophomore-Middler prom one of the biggest and best in years. Another publicity campaign that year was to have every club and group in school donate to the build- ing fund for Hayden Hall, the new classroom building going up behind Richard ' s Hall. How many hours did you spend mentally during the years of construction at N.U., shoveling, riveting, and laying bricks instead of studying. John Tinker Connelly and James Bell, former N.U. stars, were appointed varsity baseball and hockey coaches, and Professor Gallagher was promoted to head of the Physical Education department. At the end of our second year we were joined by our class advisor Professor Willet. During the spring and summer of 1955, Science Hall got an elevator and remodeling of the Forsythe Building got underway. Middler September, 1955 - June, 1956 Welcome to 1760 new freshmen of the class of ' 60, and all hail the first Mayor of Huntington Avenue, Pete Mal- oney. This zany funfilled affair was sponsored by the vi- vacious, school-spirited Husky Key society, and through ballot-stuffing, at five cents a vote, $160 was donated to the building fund for Hayden Hall which had its corner- stone laid on November 31, 1955. Midnight Mood, the sophomore-middler class dance on March 3, 1956, proved to be a successful sequel to Mood Indigo of the year before. Did we have snow that year! School was cancelled for one of the few times in N.U. history, with many students and faculty stranded at school. An avalanche killed a pro- fessor from the Psychology office who was out on a moun- tain climbing trip, and a spectacular trainwreck in Swamp- scott caused several students some concern. For a while that year no one knew where the offices of Richard ' s Hall were going to show up next. Extensive remodeling of several of the buildings was responsible for the confusion. Our campus was once the site of the first Major League World Series in 1903. And to commemorate that event, N.U. was host to National Baseball Commissioner, Ford C. Frick, who addressed faculty and students at a ceremony unveiling a plaque on the New Physical Education Center. Her Regal Highness, Princess Shawnda, took over as official mascot with the death of King Husky III. I
