Mr. Progress himself ad- vanced from scrubbing pots and pans at Mt, St. Mary's to become the chief cook and bottlewasher in c'Sully's,' Cancer Lab. This of course, accounts for SMC having the hap- piest mice in town . . . they just idolized Fred, Fred also found time for progressive jazz and golf, and his mind expressed itself through his four year showing on the Dean's List, Dean's List 1, 2, 3, 43 Chem.

170 h Our Freshman Yveek was a huge SUCCESS wit all of us wearing beanies for the first time. We made national headlines when our softball team was victimized by a no-hit victory at the hands of the faculty. Father Moriarty greeted us as the 9th President in the College's 48 year history. Who will ever forget that talent show and all the noise? We are told that we are to be integrated. We all soon found out exactly what that meant. We thrilled to the exploits of our football gladiators. Homecoming weekend found St. James building the biggest and best display ever and the smashing victory over Vermont will always bring back memories of the '6March On Burlington and touchdown by the HCrow . Our beanies also became passe as the Sophs bowed to us in a tug-o-war. For many of us the early arrival of snow in this state was quite a shock fOct. 12J.

We were told that winning state titles was a habit at the Hilltop and we did just that in '52 Cagainl. The '6Lance was dominated by the literary Geniuses of our group. Our first vacation was soon upon us and how we looked forward to those home-cooked turkey dinners. The basketball court found several of our classmates rounding out the Purple Knights' hoop team. The Dean's List included many of our group among the select elite of the 85 percenters. St. John's, staffed entirely by Frosh, ran away with the Intramural Basketball Title. The Winter Carnival was soon upon us and we were all justly proud that one of our class- mates' reigned over the Campus with his Queen. Twin victories over U.V.M. gave Doc's boys a tie for the state basketball title. We Frosh all thrilled to the agressiveness and spirit of our contribution to the starting five.

Springtime saw our class elections return some officers and bring some new ones forth. Besides those members of our class who spent their after- noons in the varsity dugout, the fields surround- ing the campus were the scenes of many a torrid 'softball game. Well the inevitable finally happened. Final Exams!! We feared them, fought them, sweated them, studied for them, and most of us passed them, and then went home veterans of our first collegiate year. , Fall of '53 was an eye-opener for us.
