Faded summer loves, falling leaves, September . . . it all added up to a return to school. Upon our arrival, we found our ranks were somewhat de- pleted. But those who had returned were well tanned and carried themselves with a certain air of newly acquired superiority. Now, we were sopho- mores. The campus hadn't changed much. The sun still rose over Mount Mansfield, but we watched it set over the new athletic field which had been com- pleted during the brief respite supplied by the summer months. The new athletic field was baptized in blood shortly after our return when the Saint Michael's eleven cut through the ranks of the U.V.M. Catamounts, punching out a 27-6 score. Life quickly resumed its dynamo-like hum, broken only occasionally by the sound of the pumps which were keeping the foundations of Ryan Hall dry. Late in October, the interior decorators moved out and the uwealthy seti' established residence in the Hotel Of all the celebrities we were to know in all our four years here, perhaps the most eminent was the second ranking prelate in the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Tisserant. Moving amongst us with dignity and ermine splendor, Cardinal Tisserant heard the newly organized band introduced by the Reverend Edmund I. Hamel and then heard as its initial selection the French National Anthemn. This was the year of the big wind. Both the col- lege and the surrounding area felt the fury of the hurricane which should never have arrived here in the first place as trees thundered across the high- ways, barns were leveled and livestock fatalities ran into the thousands. The farmer was faced with a challenging situation and the Michaelmen came to his aid in the form of Operation Disaster. During the course of the SUIIIIIICI, we had not forgotten that Burlington was building a Boys' Club. There was still much money to be expended, the fund was dwindling. With the success of the previous Night of Knights still fresh in their minds, Michaelmen once again placed their cards on the table, promising an even bigger and better show. They gave it to them. Hollywood? We even had ailittle bit of that when Thomas A. Garrett, our Registrar, under- took the task of supervising the production of the student film, Life at St. Michael's. There were shots?, and shots?, and shots?. Christmas vacation with its post office jobs came and went. We moved into finals a little more cocky this time, we knew what the score was. And so as the semester ended, we lost a few and we faced our annual spiritual bracer with the dis- tinguished orator, Father Flanagan, as retreat Mas- ter. And so, with Metanoia ringing in our ears, we planned on having a 'ggoodw time at the winter carnival. Setting aside social festivities, the class buckled down to a little earnest work. The results were fruitful, as we watched our athletes take to the floor, and command the greatest basketball team the state had ever seen. Our touch was felt in Austin Hall, also, as our class stomped off with the prize for the one act play competition. As cold February days melted into windy March, blue lips could be seen forming the words when Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? All too soon it was upon us, and as we made plans for this, our second Junior Prom, we realized all too well that our college career was approaching the half way mark. Draft notices and finals closed out an- other hectric year. And so we became Juniors, no longer feeling superior, but rather a little fatherly. This was a year of many changes. The world was teetering precariously on the brink of another war. You couldn't forget itg everywhere you turned, prepara- tions were being made . . . even at St. Michael's. The summer months had seen the institution of the Air Force R.O.T.C. The veterans in our ranks served as able officers in this new venture. Through 97 W
