New Worlds to Conquer It was just four years ago when the Class of 1936 entered the fair portals of the Lowell State Teachers College. We were frightened, unsophisticated children enter- ing a new school and meeting new friends. Freshman initiation took place almost immediately. Green, being the color of inexperience, was designated as the color for the Freshmen. For one solid week we abided by rules set down for us by the austere upperclassmen. With the help of the Seniors we held class elections. Mary Winchenbaugh was elected President; Gabri- elle Turcotte, Vice-President; Eleanor Gray, Secretary; and Mary Meehan, Treas- urer. The first class activity was our Theatre Party which was held at the Strand Theatre. We later went to Page ' s where we had an enjoyable dinner. The high light of our Freshman year was the Beach week-end. Miss Hariclia Sarris was a most understanding and dependable chaperon. The group arrived safely Friday after- noon, but to their chagrin they discovered that the food had not arrived. However, a foresighted Freshman had brought crackers and tea. Thanks to Anna Waters and her uke we spent many hours singing in the afterglow of the fireplace. Saturday morning some of our early risers went out to greet the morn. We must not forget to add that a few courageous sportsmen attempted to join King Neptune. It proved to be mighty cold and the girls emerged a most pleasing hue of crimson. We established quite a barber shop during the afternoon with Miss Sarris as the most efficient barber. There was much primping due to the fact that the girls were going to a dance at the Casino. Sunday, the girls gave a concert from the band stand for the benefit of the Sunday afternoon visitors. It was late before there was any stirring in the house Monday morning. Horse- shoes, roller-skates, and tenikoits were taken out and some of us went walking while others were brave enough to try the briny deep once again. Eight fair damsels walked to Hampton Center, fourteen miles away, in the hope that at the end of the long journey they would be rewarded by a letter from home. Tuesday was a very sad day for it was time to leave. A grand weenie roast culminated the activities of the week and as we closed the door of the cottage a few tears were shed but a smile shone through the tears when we thought of the next year. Within a Year In September 1933 we were ready for another year of work, fun and frolic. This time, however, we were Sophomores. From our lofty position we could look down with sympathy upon the poor Freshmen and be glad that we were now to be looked upon with respect. Our first social event was a week-end which was held at the Y. W. C. A. camp at Long-Sought-For Pond, Westford, Mass. Miss Sarris 30
