Those of us who had returned, together with those of us who had remained, still managed, however, to further our education despite the maze of conflicts, changed schedules, general con- fusion and Winooski liberties,'. The daily sport was watching the buildings being moved down from the fort. From the gist of many overheard conversations, the uninitiate were led to believe that three-quarters of the students were construc- tion engineers or at least majoring in the field. As we proceeded with the business of broaden- ing our cultural horizons, we chose our leaders. Greg Wesoly, Pete LaBate, Frank McMahon and Bill Morrissey served the class in their respective offices of president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. Peter Brown and Mickey Crowley were elected class representatives to the student council and Mario Marini headed west with the N.F.C.C.S. delegates.

However, a summer spent on the broad plateau that overlooks the Winooski Valley is not to be forgotten. The wispy breezes, the afternoons at North Beach, the evening intra- mural softball games all lead to the feeling that the bark of summer school is much worse than the bite. The fall term found the class once again hard at the books. By this time, with the student body numbering around eight hundred, our erudite crew realized that despite the metamorphosis the basic element that made St. Michael's had not been altered. Fr. Linnehan was still attempting to implant the knowledge that whatever is, is , Dr. Quinlan and Prof. Holcomb continued to play a cat-and-mouse game with belabored science ma-
