dime WMM? September Sth, l95l . . . We entered the doors of Rhode fsland College of Education that day as individuals. VV e emerged that afternoon an embryonic class-t-he class of 1955. Many experiences combined to weld dissimilar, im- pressionable young individuals into unified, professional members of a college group. Let us recall some of those experiences . . . First day strangeness . . . Books, advisors, complicated program cards, un- familiar subjects . . . All-College Assembly . . . Clubs seeking new members . . . Freshman-week fun and hazing-we wore beanies and carried candy for hungry 'upperclassmen while they looked us over . . . singing the Alma Mater in the Caf upon the insistence of hard-hearted Sophs . . . these all are mem- ories of our hrst week at college. After the first week, events moved rapidly along until it was mid year before we realized it. just during the hrst few months of our freshman year, we had changed. XfVe had strengthened our common pattern of college life. Remember . . . Emphasizing our class unity at freshman parties . . . meeting our junior brothers and sisters . . . gab fests in the third floor rec room . . . observing birthdays in the Caf with cakes, candles and singing . . . class meetings when we tried co-operation . . . Classes . . . struggling with math problems, history, Spanish, health notes from Smiley and Gould in the reserve library . . . sports -introduction to soccer for the men fa unique experience for some was catching passes through the snowy -gym-dressing in a rush, showering with haste, never quite making the next class on time . . . then exams and first reports with their unknown indexes . . . rehearsals for Stunt Night when the freshmen put on the X'Valrus tk Carpenter . . . Christmas vacation and then mid year exams, these first formal exams for many caused desperate cramming. Registration for the second semester, and the class of '55 began to feel as if it really belonged . . . Spring brought Song Contest when we sang the cheer song that we had written with pride- XfVe Are The Class of '55 . . . Con- ferences-Freshmen attended Little Eastern States Conference in Conn. and came back impressed. with VVillimantic's campus . . . the important conference with Miss Lee when we chose our courses . . . May Day festivities held indoors with the traditional freshman Maypole dance while the Maypole emulated the Leaning Tower of Pisa, dancing Russians, fairies, or mice . . . June . . . Seniors awed us with caps and gowns . . . our class picnic at Moonstone beach proved to be a memorable one . . . final tests were concluded and our freshman year was over. XfVhen we returned in the fall and joyfully renewed friendships, we found a few .people missing. In our new divisions we made new friends and came to know more of our classmates as we commenced our Sophomore year . . . Choosing electives for the hrst time feven though we had to take last choicej . . , geography frememiber those 26-page exams with their encouraging notes Don't give up now, you're almost half way through. j . . . art, T8:P notes, physical science, science fair exhibits, psychology, English literature and Classical Backgrounds fVVho was .Iupiter's grand aunt, anyway?j On the social side there was the Sophomore Hop or Penthouse Party . . . tribulations of that decorating committee are amusing in retrospect, but at the time the committee couldn't imagine how they could transform a gym into a penthouse satisfactorily in eight hours and then arrive back with dance clothes and a date on time. Sports captured attention too, as the YVAA sponsored swinnning and bike hostels, and the men of our class won the school basketball intra-mural crown. In our sophomore year, remember . . . Appearance of new president . . . Soph-Senior Party . . . Soph boys pledg- ing to the fraternity and suffering pledge walks and initiation procedure . . . Pnffc Fzfty szx
