Batts Sidney Beaser Richard Beasley Highlights o£ the Season The months we spent together at the Division held and retain a common heritage for us. You arrived—a Maury-ite, a Granby-ite, a Wilson-ite, a stranger from another city, or a discharged veteran. But you left, each one of you, a Division-ite. Each of you, of course, possess your own individual reasons for considering the college your Alma Mater—a subject or a field of study to which you were introduced, a teacher who influenced you, an infatuation (or two), or a host of social memories. But you, in general, cre- [ 22 ]

iJime Out SJo'i -Lunch That, at the Division, was your password to an hour in Bud's, an hour of free play, random conversation, association, music, and Nabs. You pushed into Bud's Little Emporium, not only at 12:30, but at any open hour, and then found yourself one of a diverse, animated, energetic, active mob. In the booth beside you, three vets were matching war stories. In another, Tri K and Tiga members were thrashing out their inter-club contest for Voyager ads. Several High Hat writers draped over the counter discussing the threat of depression in 1947. Part of the basketball teams poured through the back door for cold drinks. A group of faculty members were engaged in serious discourse in the farthest booth. And, invariably, someone was hunched over a text book in a corner. In short, you found yourself amidst a cross-section of Division Life. There, plans were made, national issues were decided, college problems were solved, lessons were learned, gossip was relayed. There, you found the nucleus around which future activity was to revolve. And there you found Bud—Audry Paul, the friendly fellow behind the counter, a guide and sympathizer, and an aid. Bud started as a student here in 1935 and returned to manage a lunch counter and book shop in the basement of the Science Building. In '45, the Emporium moved, part, parcel, and Bud, to the larger room in the Administration Building. Bud offered courteous service to the customers, willing understanding to the bewildered, ready cooperation to the workers, and the traditional ink, blotters, aspirins, and sympathy to those taking exams. The vets remember how he cleared up their book difficulties. The freshmen remember that he immediately became a real friend; and the older students recall his continued congeniality. Bud's was mayhem and madness, but Bud made it YOUR room. And you can't forget the times you spent there. I 21 ]

ated an atmosphere and a distinction which set the Division apart, and make you now consider that time, 1946-'47, the Time of your Life. Athletically, your great achievement was in the line of basketball. The boys started to practice early in Fall, coached by energetic Julius Rubin. The cagers started the ball rolling right away, and rapidly gained steam. It was your cheering them on, as well as the boys' efforts and the excellent coaching that won for the school their title, Tidewater Champions, 1947! The men's swimming team traveled for their meets, and you attended a few in the Division pool. Weightlifting and fencing teams were formed. You hung around the gym watching practice, followed the boys out of town, or attended their contests here. And it was gay, sharing all their enthusiasm.
