,fi 3 IUIIN IIANNON ICIJXVARU MURRIN SAMUEL MILLICR Vice-President President Seenetary-'l'reasurei PRESHMAN CLASS The Freshmiin class oth I9-19 1953 h is came ot' age-it's me.nbers are now no longer iaterested bystanders but honest, eager and sometimes happy partic- ipants in this giant plan which once, for us, bore the awesome title of College Lite. Yve have conquered our tears and our misgix i'igs and the broad pano- rama ol knowledge, friendship and pleasure has spread itsell' before us like the unfolding oti a welcome mat on a friendly doorstep. No longer do we lieel our- selves new students or uninitiated outsiders: lor we know, hope and feel that our group torms an integral and even necessary part ol this, our University. Truly, it took one whole year tor us to liully realize our position-it took a whole year that once was as immediate as tgmmorrows dawn and is now as distant as last night's sunset. The days did seem l ing' and tedious at times: oliten we were sure that we were hungry-now and then we were disappointed and dis- gusted, but when the ledger is balanced we know that we enjoyed it. Freshman activities blossomed out over the campus in various ways and means. The Annual Freshman show, staged Dec. 5, was a smashing success and brought to the public attention the wealth ot talent that lay hidden in our midst. Debators from our groups were under tire all year and although they carried olli no cups or trophies they gained in experience which will someday serve them well. Athletically speaking, the Freshman class ot' '-19-50 was outstanding as we placed -l players on the Varsity hockey squad: 3 on the Basketball team and one on the Nlccurdy Cup Champion tiootball team. The Freshman Basketball unit won the lnterclass Championshipg it's hockey squad finished 5rd in the lnter- class race and it's football team was undefeated throughout the season. Yes, this has been a great year tor us -all oth us. Wve thank the upper- classmen for making us tieel at homey we thank the liaculty for their patience and instruction and we thank the University for it's heritage of experience, pleasure and knowledge which makes us sure that we are now truly X-Wien in every sense ofthe term e IUIIN IIANNUN. 95
