OF OUR Lives plained about them while they were here, f ilings were a little strained at Inst. People didn't know one another, and it was something new to us. who had known mils the navy, to have unrestricted civilian men. lint we soon began to make friends with the veterans, many of whom had. aftei all. known l'isinus when we were but high school teenagers. By spiing. the fiaternitics were teoigani ed. and we had out lust Inteisorority Inlet Ira let nits Ball in thice seats. Yes. It sinus was getting ba k to normal. The men. mans of whom had known each other well at I t'sinus before, were beginning to take the lead in campus activities, which the girls, saddled those responsibilities for two scats, gratefully suircndercd. Mcssikomei’s basketball team captured the Middle Atlantic Southern Division crown, winning all but one conference game. I he supply store, almost deserted the lust semester, began once again to draw its bridge Ians—to resume its position as the centci ol I isinus life, and spring lever exerted her age-old gtip. Marjorie Coy and Lois Wilson tcigned as cjuccns at our Junior Prom, the scene of which was an old southern plantation. Summer vacation over, we began to wend out way back to school, many of us tanned from jobs at camps and shore resorts, hardly believing that this was our last yeat to undergo the confusion of making up out rosters. Still, we thought we were fairly used to it bs then and hardly expected any more changes to become acclimated to—after all. we were seniors!! What a shock to find ourselves, seniors who should by this time know everyone, only a minority among the ‘.HID students now attending I isinus. I his was 100 more than we had ever known, and new laces were mote pie-dominant than old ones. W’heic were they all rooming? I he Annex, foimerls a Jewish 11 time, was one answer housing 100 Irtish and veterans. t hings began to shape up slowly. Dining room tables sat tight instead ol si . and an amplifying system was installed. New Im places, built in the College Woods, presided ample facilities lor outdooi picnics and doggie ioasts. New clubs were formed and old ones teoigani ed. A music room and several leading rooms weie set aside in the library to accommodate the ovcillow ol the men day-students. Yes, I'tsinus was changing alright, and we Seniors were not to be outdone, with out senior week-end and bang-up ball at Sunny brook. Eleven of om class wcie elected to the Who's Mho Among Students of mciuan Colleges and Universities. Commencement announcements were otdered as the grand finale approached. Spiing again, and now, as these fout years flash belore out minds, we are about to Ik-giactuated. Some of us have been togethei for fout seats. Manx stalled out in other classes and returned to graduate in tile Class ol 17 head ol us lies we know trot what, but whcrcvci out lives may lead, whatever we ut.ix lie doing in the future. I'isimis will remain a myriad ol happy memories, great and small, important and insignificant, to return to u in unguarded moments and remind us ol the loin happiest years ol our lives.
