Olryfiaforbg of fffs Cfffam of 7950 By lohn Clancy The history of the Class of 1950 had its origin in the fall of 1946 when as potential freshmen we approached the University on the hill and registered in our respective colleges. For many of us this history began in Europe or Asia, while for others it started in high school. Our relationship as a class, however, is the only feature that can be recorded here. Our pasts remain to each one of us our own fond memories. On the first day the University on the hill was a little frightening and the faces abount us were strange. Enrollment day was unforgetable, being full of anxieties and perhaps a little apprehension. Our talk was in subdued tones and quick glances were tossed into open classrooms. All in all it was a long, tedious grind consisting of a constant confusion of directions, forms, and finally the long wait at the book store. The first year was the hardest. We were a member of the University, and yet we were not. We were in an entirely different atmosphere and soon found out we had a hard task before us. The life was too new to enjoy com- pletely and with fervent anticipation we went to classes faithfully and studied hard. As the semesters passed, we began to see a little more of the life that was known as college life. The clubs began to attract our interest, and we looked forward with anticipation to becoming a participant in our favorite sports pastime. In Iune of 1947 the Creative Writing Club was born, and in September of 1947 it published 20 DERNE under the direction of Mr. Thomas Savage, who was later to sell a novel, Lone: Hanson to Columbia for S50,000. It was in May of 1947 that Tom Savage and Bob Devin made Life Magazine. The International Relations Club under the direction of Mr. Donald Fiorillo had as a guest speaker Mr. Alexander Kerensky, former Russian Liberal Leader. They also presented Mr. Norman Thomas, Mr. Edwin B. Goodale Ir., and Professor Robert Braucher. Things were now looking up: college was becoming alive and interest- ing. We were all enjoying the many dances that were run by the various school organizations and the Dramatic Club presentation of The Animal Kingdom, or Life in New York. 1947 was a successful year. The Empire Room of the Hotel Vendome was a reality, while the music of Ierry Mitchell and the Fife and Drum Room remains only a memory. The Animal Kingdom was such a success that it was presented again for the benefit of an ll year old Malden amputee. Glenny Brown.

The year 1948 saw birth of a new club at Suffolk, the Radio Workshop. under the direction of Mr. Richard Strunsky, Iournalism instructor. The club aired a show every Saturday at one o'clock over station W.V.O.M. Among the guests interviewed were Mr. Arthur Fiedler, Pops conductor: Mr. lackie Cooper, stage star: the Honorable Paul A. Dever, Governor of Massachusetts: Miss Iucly Valentine, vocalist-wife of Suffolk alumnus Sherman Feller, and then Mr. Martin Wolfson and Miss Iuanita Hall appeared together as members of the cast of South Pacific. Remember South Pacific ? Did you see it in 1949? If you did you were very fortunate. It was in 1948 that fourteen members of the senior class were picked to appear in Who's Who in American Colleges. In February of that year the Varsity Club held a Blue and Gold Sportsters' Dance at the Hotel Bradford with Bob Dennis' Band. Beatrice Fuller was picked Miss Suffolk by a group of judges that included the popular Larry Green, lack Edwards, and Al. Capp. At this time the Glee Club made its appearance. There was a Look for a Book dance held in the library for the Reverend Ioseph A. Robinson, who was trying to raise reading matter for State Prison inmates. Remember how the admission price was one book ? The grind was now over and the summer session was here. This was an opportunity for those students who had entered late to catch up with their class. Did you last through the hot summer? September of 1948 held a few surprises. Suffolk had two foreign students from Arabia and Palestine. Miss lane Wyman received a certificate of merit from Suffolk for Iohnny Belinda, and the Iournal predicted her Oscar as it later predicted the political Oscar for Truman and Dever. The third annual Thanksgiving Dance was held in the Imperial Ball- room of the Hotel Statler. Freddy Guerra and his orchestra played while more than 500 students and their dates danced. Charlie's Aunt was the comedy hit of the season and starred Ioe Valcour and Ierry Noonan, class of '49. The year 1949 saw many improvements. With two years' of academic credits behind us, college seemed to hold promise. All the old doubts seemed to vanish, and we were fairly certain that the next two years would pass some- what easier. New instructors caused discussion and comment, and before long the routine that started in September was no longer new. V.A. check trouble was common, but it generally straightened itself out. Books were still running out before you had your allotted number, and it was still difficult to meet exam schedules. Betty Humphreys was chosen Miss Suffolk for 1949. Suffolk had a celebrity for that show in the personage of Iohnny Iohnston, popular MGM star who was appearing at the Cval Room of the Copley Plaza. Saponaro was eliminating all competition in the billiards tournament, and Edward Keough was voted as New England NSA secretary.
