FRESHMEN College life was plenty different from that of high school. A few of us shed tears of homesickness at first, but we soon hardened to the rugged life of Washington College freshmen. This new freshman class, however, bore several notable distinctions: it was the largest to enroll here in many years; it was the first post-war class— we had brought a handful of veterans with us; it possessed no small bit of talent in many fields. Of great importance was the fact that the bashful (?) belles outnumbered the rats 2 to 1! We, who in four years would be graduated as the Forty-Niners, assured ourselves that we were definitely going to be worthy assets to the Wash- ington College family. Of course we had to learn to prepare to take our places in the world of tomorrow. We were happy to find a capable faculty who lived up to the college ' s motto— that is their being friendly. The unpleasantries seemed comparatively few. Yes, we survived the semester exams, but between the hours of grueling schooling we found fun— lots of it. 28

We came into our second year at Washington College with great hopes, hopes inspired by our first peacetime collegiate year. Our male members have been seriously depleted by Uncle Sam ' s call, but others have entered our class who have served our country well. We found things quite crowded, for old W. C. is about to burst open with new and prospective students. Some of us may yet have to live in pup-tents, but things won ' t get quite that bad. We missed our ratting to a greater extent than the class before us did, but that seems to be on its way out anyhow. We got our promise of a White Christmas , and we partook in some violent battles with this white stuff . Our coming years at Washington College seem very promising, with the return of complete peace and all that ordinarily goes with it. 27
