Clary of 1951 The Class of 1951 started out in two sections, just as did many other classes, but now the dif- ference was that the Engineers came two weeks earlier than did the AB's. When they finally did arrive they had to suffer through th eusual maze of meetings, registration, name-signing, and huck- sters. The class was received into the Princeton family at a reception given at Prospect. Proper orientation was given to the new Fresh- men. They heard of the traditions which they were expected to observe and had been warned that the sophs had voted to enforce black dinks on frosh craniums. As usual the ties and dinks were pur- chased and worn, and within a few weeks they had all but disappeared. Aroused by slurs on their class honor, the sophs blockaded the dining hall entrances one November evening and a dink riot resulted. Signs of Princetons' glorious past fell quickly from view as the University stopped the fights after 58 infirmary cases were reported, and gave ,51 a moral victory. A council was appointed to lead the class until their first elections. Headed by Cabell Woodward, the council consisted of George Hawke, Edward Irvin, Clifford Kurrus, Michael Mahoney, Mac- Donald Mathey, Howard Parks, Ja., Clifford Star- rett, Alex Trowbridge, and Richard Tucker. They sponsored a freshmen pep rally before the Yale Freshmen football game, and are working hard on plans for the Freshmen class dance this spring. The usual number of clappers were taken by '51 and it seemed to the older classes that maybe this might be the class that will turn things back to what they used to be. Less freshmen ended up in the Nass and even fewer sat on the Sun Dial. While they did lose in the Cane Spree, the class had undefeated football and basketball teams, which just proves their contention that Princeton will hear a loud roar from 1951 during the next three years.
