One might think that changes in a school occur gradually, over a number of years; and yet, as this year’s history proves, a good deal has happened since last the year’s history was written. Of some occurrences there is tangible evidence; others leave only memories. But whatever the type of mark, the happenings of the past year should be written down together, so that all may see that 1958-59 was as they say of champagne, a good year. To begin by saying, Morgan Hall, the new dor¬ mitory, was opened to the students in September”, would be slightly inaccurate — in fact, it would be a base lie. The worthy young men who shared a desk in San¬ ford Riley with four others, and those heroes, famed in song and saga, who bunked at mid-court of Alumni Gym, were the victims of organized labor or some such villain, whose foolishness led to a delay in the grand opening. However, all this was taken with a smile, a jest, a chortle, by the undaunted young lads, and indeed soon their wrongs were righted. Rumor has it that there was lead-piping done at the railroad station on the Sunday of freshman arrival.

The poor Class of ’62 — beset on all sides by fouled-up living quar¬ ters, leering fraternity men, and the Thugs of ’61 — they still managed to survive, that is, until they got to class. The sieve size gets smaller every year. The august Department of Electrical Engineering was in a state of turmoil, even more so than usual, be¬ cause of the interior renovations being done. For a while it looked as though someone had forgotten the plans and was merely causing chaos in the venerable struc¬ ture, but now one can see that there really was some¬ thing going on, and the place looks fairly good. It will never be mistaken for the Caribe Hilton, but the hardy E.E.’s won’t mind. The Department of Military Science and Tactics moved its Division Main from the late lamented Jenn¬ ings House to Riley House, the former student center. Rumor has it that Riley House will be painted OD in the near future. At any rate, the new surroundings are much more pleasant, and all ROTC classes are held in Riley. As for Jennings House, it was torn down in two days by a group of small boys throwing stones. Plans call for tennis courts to be put in the lot where it once stood. Changes were made this year in the cadet unit, from one battalion to a regiment having two battalions. I ate too much. Did you — excuse me, dear — see that hat she had on?” Man — like Wow! 9
