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. The Squaws and Braves in 1947 made many another bite the dust. You who were there to watch helped by the cheers and praise. It was a swell time! [ 24 ]

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.

Undoubtedly, you actually found the time of your life in the parties, teas, and dances of the clubs. The Inter-Club Council welcomed you to the school with an afternoon tea. Before long, the Swing Band entertained at convocation. Because feet couldn't keep still, the musicians agreed to play several times in the afternoons. New February students in '47 witnessed the first afternoon dance at the Division. Later, the monogram clubs sponsored a Victory Dance in honor of our basketball team, the Tidewater Champs. The success led to Spring dances. You remember, the Swing Band, the informality of the instructors, and the congeniality of the grateful students who all shared in the glad and gay times of those afternoon dances. Other informal occasions occurred after the basketball games. Buds was bright and welcoming. Excitement was still in the air. And the juke box was all yours.
