Junior Senior In our final year we began to look beyond the immediate problems of study and tests to the brave new world of after graduation. Knowing they would soon be memories gave a special significance to the year ' s events. King Husky IV died and finding a new mascot became a problem. In a front page picture, The New suggested a monkey as replacement. Husky IV ' s father came to the rescue and was our tem- porary mascot for the Homecoming Game with Bridgeport. After a colorful campaign, Jack Killam emerged as Mayor of Huntington Avenue. The University gave a lasting tribute to its Pres- ident by renaming the Student Center building the Carl Stephens Ell Student Center. It was another reminder that Dr. Ell would be leaving with us. Other losses and gains: Colonel Murray D. Harris retired as Chairman of the Department of Military Science and Tactics and was replaced by Colonel Sidney S. Davis; Dean Myra Herrick left us to become a Dean of Women at Tufts University and Tufts reciprocated when Dr. Dorothy Dissel, one of their directors became our new Dean of Women. A new class ring, modelled on the West Point de- sign, was adopted and would be available to our class. Division B inaugurated its Winter Festival. The courtyard was filled with odd-shaped snow sculp- tures and in the corridors strangely garbed students competed for the Abominable Snowman title. The Silver Masque began its season by taking Eliza Doolittle off the streets for Pygmalion. The Great Sebastians, Carousel and A View from the Bridge followed. Joyce Deneault was chosen Queen of the Winter Carnival held in Jackson, New Hampshire. Hen- rietta McKee was named Woman of the Year. A new department for Drama, Speech and Music, under the chairmanship of Eugene J. Blackman, was created, reminding us that we were leaving a still growing institution. They told us it was all work and no play. [15]
