Smooth, still water like unwrinkled satin in the pool ... a brightly polished mirror for the oaks and palms ... for the clear warm sunlight and the cotton clouds ... for the tall grace of the silver minarets, so awe-inspiring on our first view of them . . . remember? Yes, that was the beginning . . . that day began a new life for us ... a life that seemed broader and deeper ... a life that made us feel greater than ever before . . . but that was before our first Rat Court . . . Remember what a difference that made? . . . meek lads beneath '40 rat caps doing penance to lordly Sophs . . . bolder ones painting a huge red 40'' on the front walk . . . thick paddles . . . belt lines . . . silly antics . . . timid little lasses surmounted by enormous red, gold, and black hair ribbons . . . proposing to professors . . . entertaining football heroes . . . wading in the fish pond . . . yelling at football games ... the pajama parade .. . that shocking jam session in assembly ... the Freshman Prom . . .
