EOPLE ARE T LKING ABOUT THE PURDUE YEAR. 2 UR year, 1952 .... YVe can call it ours because we lived it. This was our year to plan, develop, and profit by. Its spirit was unique: it can never be forgotten or recaptured. YVe have crowded into one year, one-fourth of our college careers, wonderfully important experiences that will mold our thinking and actions for the rest of our lives. All of us . . . everyone front freshman to senior . . . worked together to mold the final product. XVe came to Purdue to obtain an education, and soon found that an education encotnpassed more than books and classroom knowledge. YVe studied, handed in papers, and crammed for tests. but more important we learned how to think, assume responsibility and live with others. W'e forgot the varied cares of classes and joined our fellow students in the various campus activi- ties. XX'e painted posters at the Student Union, collected news for the Exponent, and struggled with copy for the Debris. Some of tts sang in the llniversity Choir, played in the band, or faced the footlights at Playshop. Achievement was recognized by membership in the numerous campus honoraries, as evidenced by our heavy key chains. Sports also played their part in making 1952 a complete year. In the fall, many hours were spent in painting giant signs for pep rallies. XVe faithfully attended the hotne games and watched our team slowly climb to the top. Hle traveled to IU to see the Boilermaker football team trounce our traditional rivals from down the Monon and retain possession of the Old Oaken Bucket for the fourth con- secutive year. The smell of roses, but not our pride, faded as the team finished second in the Big Ten Conference. Hoosier Hysteria engulfed us as basketball took the spotlight. YVe cheered our team, and not even defeat dampened our entlmsiasm. XVe worked hard on studies, activities, and sports, but they were not our only interests. The greatest amount of our time was spent at our residences where we did far more than just eat and sleep. Here we found the com- panionship of students just like ourselves, here we studied the human being, his triumphs, problems, likes, and dislikes. XVe learned unity, and the ability to work together in sports and projects such as Home- THE DEBRIS 0 1952 coming signs, Penny Carnival, and Varsity Varieties. XVe worked, but there was always time for fun. Dances and spontaneous parties and picnics occupied prominent places on our social calendar for the year. Snowball fights, open houses, gab sessions, birthday parties, and pin serenades had their places too. These were the things which combined to make 1952 a year to remember. Nothing could be eliminated . . . nothing, not even the yellow slips at mid-semester nor the blind date who didn't live up to expectations. Yes, it took every event, regardless of its apparent insignificance and remoteness, to form this year N... our year, l952.
