aaa ,Maier In the Fall of 1949, the first chapters of this account were written as the largest class ever to enter Saint Michaelis College converged upon Win- ooski Park to begin a four year adventure, and truly, an adventure it has been. Since then, many have fallen by the wayside, others have sought greener pastures, but there are still some of us left who have weathered the four years to relate our history, dedicated to all who have shared in the living of it. We came to Saint Michaelfs when the school had recovered from the first influx of veterans, and ex- pansion was the key-word. We were caught in the tide of change, as well as by the wave of spirit and enthusiasm so well exemplified by the older vets who surrounded us. We were the young blood re- placing the old. Freshman week served to integrate us into one big family. We listened eagerly to tellers of tall talesi' from all over the country as we accustomed ourselves to dormitory life in Old Hall and Saint Johns. We finally showed ourselves off to the rest of the school and the faculty at Freshman Talent Night, presenting a variety of star performances, ranging from the Jew's Harp to the ballet. Only the sail on the lake to Fort Ticonderoga can stand out more vibrantly in our memories. We boasted many potential athletes in our class, and it was not long before the Gridiron proved their worth. The Frosh football team ran away with a perfect slate, six wins, no defeats. On this team were some of the men who helped lead the victori- ous Purple Knights to their greatest season of all
