SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The Seniors have a tale to spin. There are so many memories to be shared . . . memories of how we came to R.I.C.E. and in no time at all became a part of Rhode Island's only teacher-training col- lege . . . of how we made friends whom we'll remember always . . . of how we studied so that we might be equipped to face the proverbial cold, cold world. There were difficult times, especial- ly exams, term papers, and training, but they are forgotten in favor of the happy times had because we stood together . . . not only the Seniors, but the underclasses whom we grew to love. So we present our story . . . not startling, glamorous, or new . . . but as we knew ourselves and as we lived it. Remember Orientation Day when we first met our future classmates . . . the faculty-conducted tours of the building which was to be our second home for the next four years . . . schedule cards, books, bells, and those two confusing lunch periods . . . faculty advisors, so willing to help. Remember the official opening day of college . . . upperclassmen renewing old acquaintances . . . looks of surprise at the Frosh who knew their way around the building already . . . the joy at seeing a few of our classmates whom we had met Orientation Day . . . the first as- sembly. Remember hazing week with its um- brellas, potato chips, and name tags. . . the party at which we received Junior brothers and sisters . . . the feeling of belonging as each organization extended a hearty welcome to R.I.C.E.,s youngest class . . . the responsibilities which came with college classes. t IL enty-two Remember our Freshman year . .
