Men found the fraternity decision a difficult one to make. New Nappie Bill Hammon discovered that egg rolling precedes membership in good standing. Sophomores SOPHOMORES DISCOVERED THAT GREAT- er familiarity with campus life partially compen- sated for the loss of Freshman prestige. Early in the year the siren call of the six local fraternities plunged the men into a week of parties and indecision. Affiliations seemed last- ingly important when made — less limiting as the freshness of brotherhood wore off. Women, spared the artificial split of moving into outside houses, crowded into Blaisdell, except for the few who occupied French and Spanish Houses; and men took over former women ' s residences of Baldwin, Haddon, and Denison. Sophomore president Dick Batchelder kept his class organized for Freshman hazing and found time besides to win numerous debate competi- tions and work in Harwood dinner line. Nancy Price and Doug Hines as Social Chairmen en- livened Sophomore night life with a hay-ride, class rallies and the second annual Pause That Refreshes Dance. Levis were illegal for frosh, legal for sophomores. Pants showing belong to Mee, McHenry, Smith, Polos, Hammon, Brookman, Hart, Beckner, Hatch, Ward, Tucker, Fleisher, Hines, Black, Addison, Leovy, Weakley, Waldon.

Juniors Jr. officers: Stokes, Tyler, Sherman, Townsend, and president Kolts planned a varied social program. JUNIORS, SETTLING DOWN TO A FIELD OF CON- centration found upper division work less obvious in con- tent than Freshman-Sophomore survey courses. On North campus the artificial division between frat and non-frat men remained to plague attempts at creation of a class spirit; the women, back together in Harwood after a year of distribution from College Avenue to the borders of Blanchard Park, found reunion pleasant but incomplete. First Junior Class party featured novel relay races. Joan Adgie ties a neat bow as Munz, Colburn, Gustafson, Pauls, Adgie, Sarinana, Riffenburgh, Friis, Shafer, watch. Mary Canby participates enthusiastically in the back- ground as Cathy Marshall discovers the limit of tensile strength of a raw egg.
