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.

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.

Track-sters raced around the stadium. Baseball players took to the field, accompanied by the customary rooting and pop drinking. During the Spring, also, the first bowling team at your college was formed, and enjoyed much success. The weaker sex sportsters showed a good season of basketball. In addition to the games which were slated at other schools, they played before the boys' games in the Division gym, or carried on their own massacres. The hockey team shared a great time and a great victory, that one over Williamsburg late in Autumn. You who did not see the game cheered 'em with the High Hat.
