Senior 61444 BERNARD 1. DBLMAN Prerident HE September of 1947 found a new group of faces on UNI-i's campus-neophytes to that confusing world known as college. The many veterans in our class intermingled with the young 'uns just out of high school gave us a varied out- look on the ways of college life. Football rallies pepped us up for the game on Saturday, and we cheered with great vigor as we watched the unde- feated team pave the way for the Toledo game. Russ Page was elected the first president with Bill Rexford as vice-president, Evie Blish as sec- retary and George Perlman handling our non- existent finances. In the spring the class dance was disguised as the Harlem Hop where we all danced to Phil Edmunds beat and deemed it the social success of thc year. We were no longer green as the grass around us but felt quite a part of the campus activities, as we left for the summer and bid goodbyes until the next Sep- tember. It was a good feeling to be back to start our sophomore year and to be able to look down on those lowly creatures-the freshmen! We elected the same officers except that joe Stone who was now holding down the vice-president's chair. Prexy Adams was inaugurated at an impressive four-day symposium whose many speakers brought us an awareness of the world around us. The Notch was still the favorite meeting place for that quick cup of coffee or just goofing off and the smoker in the libe became known as the night club of UNH. Although the football team lost three games out of eight we were still cheering loudly for them and for 1951's members: Bill I-Iaubrich, Ed Fraser, Tom Gorman, and Sky Berry. Basket- ball season rolled around and joe Stone, Bob Crompton, junnie Carbonneau, Bill Haubrich, and Charlie Copp were chasing that ball around the floor and into the basket. All the social events of the year were attended by Durham's greatest mayor -lovable, laughable Threadbare McNair, imper- sonated by Frank Robie. We really got into the spirit of the campaign for we were no longer bewildered by the crazy antics and most of us had formed our own opinions and affiliations. Clubs had come into our existence, and many of us were learning that such meant more than just having our names on the membership rolls, but included meetings, committees and running around looking like wheels to the uninitiated freshmen. Again there was Mil Art, Carnival and junior Prom but nothing compared to our Hobo Hop where we listened to Billy Note as we avoided the junk pile in the middle of the floor. The road to Dover and such places as Kimball's and Bucky's were known by us-yes, we were truly full-fledged members of the campus. We came back in the September of 1949 with the extra special feeling of being true upperclass- men, full of all sorts of useful knowledge, how
