No, it's kinda cream colored. St. Maxwell became our hero after Heyman's 2-4 dihydro- teratoman hybridization of Physiology and Pathology. Spring of our Sophomore year featured the duel of the zippers versus the buttons, and someone ran the darkhorse for drawstrings. That was when we became famous for our long, harassing class meetings.

Tomberlin's i Q V :I ne'er-to-be-forgotten dissertation on the history of the con- - 4.4 A Fha-. dom was circulated widely among faculty and students. The new james A. Cray wing was completed, including a student lounge, which became the haven for ping-pong, bridge, checkers, and chess players. The feud over library-closing hours was the cause for many more long class meetings.

The Class of 1960 has been one of many firsts. -the first to go year- round during the junior yearg the first to have the privilege of taking National Board Examsg and the first to have the advantage of Biggerstaff Enterprises including notes, japa- nese microscopes, bargain sphygmomanemeters, etc. Clearyis baby, arriving during exams the lst quarter of our freshman year, precipitated an avalanche of offspring that shows no sighs of relenting as yetg there must be some mystic power 'Qu-v, :U-wg .
