Jri tori y A historian is a prophet looking backwards.”—Schlegel FRESHMAN YEAR—1953-54 The idea of being a “greenie” was all very new to us.

This was the best money making affair winding up in the annual Junior-Senior Prom. We are happily aware that all our guests enjoyed the evening as much as the committee had in deciding the theme “Evening in Paris”, and making all the necessary arrangements to carry it out.
