Peter Haire, Historian As one sits down to look back over his college career, he will find it hard to believe that it has gone so rapidly. There flashes through the mind a series of incidents that are really significant of his years on the Banks As we climbed the ladder nearer and nearer to graduation, there emerged from our ranks leaders to take over the reins of those who precede us. lt was George Hallock, Howie Cox and Ken MacWhinney who have been elected to the Presidency ot the Class. Then too there has been our social activity. This began with the Soph Hop, which was directed by Carlyle Millerg Tommy MacMeekin ran our lunior Prom, and our social activity culminated with the Senior Ball which was so capably handled by lack Anderson. Among those accomplishments, which will always be significant of our Class, and which can never be surpassed by any other class, is the four year consecutive record ot the lQ38 Crew in the lnterclass regatta. Many ot these men growing with crew from its infant stage among Rutgers sports to the position that it now holds. Four years have brought with it many notable and progressive changes to Rutgers. We have seen cr Student Union Building opened, giving a central meeting place to the student body. We have seen the original cut-throat rushing give way to a deferred rushing system, Hell-Week changed to Hlnitiation Week with many of the former practices abolished. We saw the adoption and success of the lnterfraternity Banquet as a permanent institution on the Campus. Our Senior Year saw the renewal after many years of absence the Varsity Show, to which Lou Panget and Les Beach deserve a world of credit for not only getting this back on the campus, but at the same time making it a success.

W'e have seen the last Varsity football team play in Neilson Field, and saw the work start towards the completion of the new football stadium, thus making it possible for us to return as Alumni to a modern, well-equipped football stadium. As we leave, there comes a new football coaching regime under Harvey Harmon, to whom the Class of 1938 gives a vote of confidence. These are but a few of the changes, which make us truly believe that Rutgers is going ahead. Looking back over the past four years to pick out those things that partic- ularly stand out, there was the confusion and excitement of rushing, the mysteries and joy of Hell Week and the Formal Initiation that followed, which was particularly symbolic of our Freshman Year. The 30 to O victory over Lafayette, when Tony Naparano astounded the people of Easton in crossing the Leopard goal line no less than five times one afternoon of our Sophomore year. There was the moonlight regatta with Manhattan, the great 1936-37 Hill machine, and the thrilling victories of the swimming team that were the highlights of our Iunior Year. No history of a Class would be complete unless words of praise were showered on those men who were particularly outstanding on the field of sport. lt was Art Perry who captained the Varsity football team, with Mush Plevinsky, Dick Renshaw, Art Rolfe, Don Saxton, Hilly Simkins, Chuck Bobrowski and Marty Smirnow, all seniors winning their football George Hallock received All-American lacrosse mention in his Sophomore year, and traveled through Canada with the All-American team, playing a series of exhibition games against Canadian teams. loe Barile, Carlyle Miller, Soup Campbell and Norm Cooper played surprising good ball under Frank Hill during the past season. lt was Tony Saverese, who for three years has ccxed the Varsity crew, and Bill Collinson, who has stroked it. The l938 Freshman Relay team consisting of Ken MacWhinney, Stan Rose, lim Reilley, and Ed Pillar, who died before his Sophomore year, won the Freshman Eastern Collegiate ZOO-yard Relay Championship. The same relay team with the exception of Ed Pillar has been undefeated in the E.S,C.A. 400-yard Relay for the past three years. lim Reilley and Ken MacWhinney were also on the Relay team that won the Metropolitan A.A.U. Relay Championship this past year. Al Timko holds the E.C.S.A. Breaststroke record together with the Rutgers pool record for the same event. However, it is particularly to those unsung wearers of the Scarlet, to whom space does not allow us to mention, but of whom we are particularly proud. Likewise in the field of non-athletic activity the Class has been particularly active. Professor Reager was responsible for scheduling the largest debating trip that has ever taken place by any collegiate debating team in the United States. Sixteen senior debaters swung through seven states, and Canada, meeting in all some twenty colleges. The Glee Club continued to give its fine concerts through New Iersey and the neighboring states, and Professor McKinney continued to bring to the Rutgers campus more fine artists. The Targum was edited by Bob Kull, with Don Saxton as Business Manager. lack Lawley was elected to the Editorship of the Scarlet Letter, and Al Espenship became Business Manager. lt is indeed difficult to realize that we have written our last page in Rutgers undergraduate history. We like to believe that we have given back to Rutgers a small part of that which she has given us. As alumni, we hope to continue in our small way to be Loyal Sons of Rutgers. io L E T T E R 1 9 3 8
