There’s no end of excitement furnished by football and basketball games, especially in those last few moments when the score is close. The party after the game adds a fitting climax to the evening. While dancing or nibbling refreshments, the students have a chance to rehash the game.

Campus Life Holiday and week-end dances furnish many a happy and memorable moment. The frothy evening dresses, stiff tux collars, crowded dance floors, limp corsages, and crazy favors are just a few of the impressions retained of these social events. 18 But too often it’s like this

The sparkling basketball players were (above) Professors Bow- man, Shoemaker, Lawrence, Threlkeld, Terr, Wood, Kesselman, of the “Trembiing Teachers”, and (below) the “Fearless Faculty” composed of Professors Parrish, Heldman, Arnold, Taylor, Blackwell, Back, Smith, Stevenson. When Dr. Philip Davidson came to U. of L. in 1951, he said that he would like to have developed among the members of the University “‘a university family” atmosphere. The realization of this wish must, to a large extent, be accredited to the willing partici- pation of the faculty in many student spon- sored activities. An annual campus event is the Faculty Basketball Game sponsored by the Women’s League. The 1952 clash saw the “Trembling Teachers” triumph over the “Fearless Facul- ty” 16-12. And no one can forget the howling laugh- ter and enthusiastic applause that greeted the “Faculty Four” the night of the Barbershop and Beauty Shop Quartet Contest. Chaperoning dances, attending parties, and rooting at sports events are just a few of the other contributions made by the Faculty to our campus family life. Faculty Favorites Dean and Mrs. Lawrence join the fun in a square dance at Leadership Camp. “Faculty Four,’ composed of (lejt to right), Dr. Schlesinger, Dr. Hemdahl, Dr. Howe, and Dr. Furnish, bring tears with their rendition of “Poor Little Joe”. 20
