For instance; remember the initiations, and how funny the boys looked with their pants rolled up to their knees, and the girls with clown-sized mouths and their hair in curlers; then the party to climax HELL week? Between the Student Council and the Social committee, we were kept pretty happy with the ’48 Ball in our honor, and then the nice little informal get-togethers that were arranged for us by the Faculty and student representatives. We had the usual class election of officers and they were: Nancy Montague, President, Alice Fromuth, Vice President, Milton Hannah, Treasurer, and Leila Chiles and Cynthia Newton as Secretaries. The biggest event of the year was the Sno Spree, and our class was well represented by having three of its members in the court of the Snow Queen. They were Leila Chiles, Sheila Black and Carol Whorf. Now we are Sophomores, high and mighty, and we have added sixty veterans to our class. We started out a little slowly at the beginning of the year but gathered momentum with a very successful dance at Churchill House, and a wonderful picnic at the Farm for the members of the dance committee.

Pye mrs pl ae oe wie, Ped oo JAMES. CASES A Voice Crying Out from the Wilderness of Freshmen “How THE DEVIL am I going to get this business organized?” she pondered. “Tom Leamon ought to be shot, class president or not!” Says Tom. ... “Dash it off in your spare time.” “Hah! that’s a good one; a freshman simply doesn’t have any spare time. But of course I’m not peeved with Tom. He’s a good man, swell sense of humor, and he did a fine job of being class officer in league with Pat Norgan, Jackie Crouse and Jim Casey. We were all proud when Tom’s water-color portrait of a G.I. was mentioned in the Alumni Bulletin, and reproduced in the Providence Journal.” She lit a fresh cigarette and sat down in front of her typewriter. “T can’t... well, take the ancient Ford that Jim Casey coaxes back and forth from the Y.M.C.A. to school. He’s always threatening to make Argenta get out and walk if he doesn’t stop making cracks about it. Casey does more than pamper the Ford, though. If I could do the lettering that he does, Mr. Benson would have more than one good student! “Bob Milliard is a character who goes leaping around like a Nijinsky in his powder- blue jacket. We don’t mind the jacket, Bob, but please give up the red and white polka- dot pajama top! Bob did a wonderful job in Outward Bound as did two other freshmen drama fiends, Lenore Helbig and Carl Eady, who by the way, was overseas for four years. “Fred Allen, the next Sinatra, and Paul Storin would make a good vaudeville team, Paul accompanying Fred. I wonder if it was Paul’s playing that made Irene Yerontakis stand on her head one evening in the cafeteria? Betsy Cushman and Laurie Jones were pretending they didn’t know Irene, but I'll bet they were both just plain jealous of such talent. “Tn the line of outstanding events, Jackie Crouse was paid the singular compliment of being made “Sweetheart of the Brown Chapter of Sigma Chi’. Then there was the day Pat Norgan had to kiss Ken Tedford right in the cafeteria. Dear Worm Week... ! And poor Malanson always practicing lullabies to sing to his new arrival!” “How will I ever get this all down!” She ground out the cigarette, started typing furiously, tore out the sheet, started another one, tore it up, started again...
