Why, it seems we were just having our Freshman convocation . . . all one hundred and thirty-five of us, all green, and nearly all females. Now graduation sees us leaving, some perhaps a bit wiser, and an increase of about forty or fifty men. Our school has given us many memories. We can never forget it; its implanted teachings are in our minds and hands. Aside from that, we have been fortunate in being the class to enter with signs of expansion and have been on hand to watch it grow. As always we have our remembrances. There was the usual initiation torment, “Worm Week,” the boys (so few) with pants rolled to the knees; the girls (pride stripped) with curlers and Jolson mouths. The ’48 Ball closed the nine day session and brought normality back. With sixty veterans added to the class, Sophomore year things began to happen. A school song was written, clubs were revived, the farm was put to use, dances became frequent—ours being The Spring Frolic at Churchill House, complete with crowned queen. By the time our third year crept up on us more activity arrived. The Ski Club went into action, as did the R.I.S.D. Theater, and the Athletic Association. Our Lower Slobovia Brawl, Lil’ Abner style, was a successful innovation. All told, there was never a dull moment or week-end—either a carnival, play, dance, or movie was to be seen—t’was fun. And that last year with its class get-togethers, theses, the veil before the degree and the iron hand to keep all at work on those last spring days. The Senior Ball which gave every Senior a “guest-of-honor”’ feeling, it was hectic but no one would trade any part of it for all the world. Yes, we left wearing our new class rings on hands that tightly clutched a valued piece of white parchment. We felt smug and superior in our caps and gowns, and, once again, green and terrified as we looked forward.
