Junior Hayden Hall was dedicated on October 1956. Dean of Students, Harold W. Melvin, retired from that post at the end of our Junior year though he continued to teach in the English department. Dean MacDonald was made successor to Dean Melvin, and the new Dean of Freshmen was Professor Kennedy of the Math department. AFCEA produced a movie that year and was voted the outstanding chapter of the country. Our Varsity coach Zabilsky made headlines with talk of going to Columbia University, but he remained true to N.U. A new student organization, the Political Society, brought a number of notables to the University to speak to mem- bers of the faculty and student body. Perfect weather and pleasant surroundings at the New Ocean House in Swampscott made the Junior Dinner- Dance a memorable evening for 350 couples. Senior A record number of 1946 freshmen joined us on the old asphalt jungle in our final year at N.U. For the first time N.U. had a homecoming queen, Marsha Gatonska 61LA, who reigned at the UConn game and the Fall Sports Dance. Announcements of more expansion in years to follow came in the form of the proposed construction of the Grad- uate Center behind the Gym. The purchase and destruction of the Opera House gave us more opportunities for side- walk superintending and kibitzing, and made us all feel proud that N.U. is still growing and will continue to grow for years to come. Vice President William C. White was named University Provost, heading all educational activities of the Day col- leges, evening Division and Graduate School. This announcement was followed by the announcement of the retirement of President Carl S. Ell in June of 1959- King Husky IV came to Boston for a short visit in February.
