■■ ' 95 o C he cJleclgling Class cfiistortj (JJ NE-HUNDRED-SEVEN first-year Fledglings registered in the hall of learning of Wilmington College on September 30, 1948. Ours was a scared flock, most of us unfamiliar with the demands of college life. We flocked together, however, as birds of a kind will do. and elected Virgil A. Creech, President; Martin Rabunsky, Vice-Presi- dent; and Carolyn Williams, Secretary and Treasurer. We chose as our fatherly advisor, Mr. Adrian D. Hurst. Our first college social was held September 21, and all our fine-feathered friends proved themselves as dancers. We dipped our beaks into the ink of inspiration and came up with our first edition of the Seahawk, our school newspaper. Gene Piner. Lillian Carras, Frank Bradley. William Dobo, and Daye Wilkins represented our flock on the staff. Members of our class, Rebecca Near, Adelaide Wilson, Marilyn McCullen, Eleanor B. Doss, and Daye Wilkins, smoothed their plumage and proved to the Student Body that they belonged to the specie of bird that loves to act. Our class was really proud of their performance in Pennywise. Not long after this, the Student Government held a picnic for its members. Those from our class who were elected to serve on the Student Council along with Virgil A. Creech, our President, were Francis Foy, Secretary; Bernard Corbett and Gene Jewell, Class Representatives. Our class was well represented on the basketball team. Our fellow students who served on the team were Bruce Hinson, Harry Coleman, Carl Mason, Tommy Dann, Donald Edwards, Glenn Bass, and Ed Moore Our Christmas party was a huge success. A tree, glowing lights, and our Penguin from the North Pole— Good Old Santa Claus! And surely none of us will ever forget the two skits put on by the Dramatic Club and featuring our own classmates, Adelaide Wilson, Francis Foy, and Robert Scott. Then came exams, or should we say exams came on forever. You know the story of how some of our classmates thought they knew how to fly already, so they just dropped out of our nest a little sooner than the rest of us. Our class, collaborating with the Senior Class, sponsored a College Banquet, which was held at the Famous Club. Our own class-mate, Donald Blake, served as master of ceremonies. The highest moment came when names of those chosen as Superlatives were announced. Those chosen from our class included: Harriet Smith and Tommy 27
