CLASS HISTORY In years. many mountains may crumble, and hills may fall but i1u'i11o1'it-s linger on. And who here at Saint .Xugustines College does not liaym- nn-inories? lit-im-inbei' us? lYe were the gret-n, unorientatecl freshmen who came to the .'Xug. The Aug who stretched out her beautiful, wide, and wonderful wingsg and took us into her arms as a mother takes her first born. For Saint Augustines College was a mother to us, cloaked in her royal blue and white . . . the veiy symbol of the family. Yes, it was a milcl September. that September of 1960 The winds were blowing lightly, scattering the fallen leaves all over the campus. And we, as frightened freshmen, had gathered nervously to whisper phrases about a successful four years. Orientation lVeek saw us making friends, obsequiously taking back our Superiors meal trays. and scurrying to take various placement examinations. But as the excitement of this week ended, we were caught up in the rigorous program of study. The initial year of the Class of '64, also marked the coming of the honor society 4 lVho's Vlho in American Universities and Colleges, whose membership is based upon outstanding character, leadership, and scholarship. During this Hrst year at the college, we became familiar with such planned activities as the lyceum program. weekly assembly programs and chapel worship. Yale are sure that none of us will forget the wonder and inspiration we received during Religious Emphasis Week. Our sophomore year found some of us still rather frivolous, but yet eamest in our study. This was the year that was highlighted by 'lCrossing the Burning Sands into the various fraternities and sororities - oh what excitement that wasl Then came our junior year, and students still poured in from north and south, east and west, adding to this enthusiastic class of '64, This is the year that we witnessed the induction of certain diligent students into the various honor societies which include, Alpha Kappa Mug Beta Kappa Chig Phi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Rho Sigma. Now our four years here at Saint Augustine's College draw to a close, and we, as seniors, reminisce over the times when we laughed heartily and cheered long whenever our teams brought a victory home. lVe also remember with sadness, how some of us grieved or cried as we saw our class dwindle in number as some of our classmates fell by the wayside. Indeed, our venture is overg but as neophytes in our respective careers, we will shortly learn that it is just beginning. Although we are scattered as leaves on a windy day, we are yet from the same tree - a tree of cultivated maturity and intellect, planted on the campus of Saint Augustine's College.
