CLASS OFFICERS Front Row: P. Moran, Tech Senate; R. Cahill, Chairman; A. Low, Tech Senate. Undaunted, the Class of ' 65 appeared on campus early in September. We were college men now, with a dignity that was shortlived as hazing began. This dignity changed to something new as the presentation of rules was made; some- thing the sophomore class was totally unprepared for, the un- matched spirit of ' 65. Unprecedented spirit that broke many traditions, such as the march on West St. by the entire class, resulting in a rout of the sophomore class, and the first singing of the second verse of the Alma Mater in the annals of Worcester Tech. We were given a chance to prove ourselves, and prove ourselves we did. The spirit of ' 65 was over us, and it struck fear into the heart of many a sophomore as we swept through the paddle rush and won the shortest rope pull in history. Experience tells though, and spirit could only help us fight as we lost a bitter contest in the football game by a small mar- gin. The Goat ' s Head battle is still on, but determination and an early lead give us a heavy advantage. Then came the rush, as they say, and our first encounter with Greek life. The smokers and the house rushes, the hand shaking and lip service, all to help us determine that which a great deal of our future here will depend on, our fraternity al- liance. Each has chosen that which suited him best, and will stand by his brotherhood for life, a bond that will draw him closer to fellow students and to Tech. Our early impressions of Tech are long past now, and we ' ve settled down to accomplish the purpose of our being here. Ever holding on to that never dying spirit of ' 65, we hope someday to make a reality of the realm of dreams now in- stilled upon us. Water Skiing the hard way at Worcester Tech 16

£5 Now with the completion of our freshman year, the class of ' 64 can breathe a momentary sign of relief. Now it is our turn to haze and to gain revenge for our scars from last year ' s episodes. After this new, shortened hazing program, we set out in our quest to retain the coveted Goat ' s Head Trophy. The competition got off to a rapid start with the Paddle Rush held at halftime of the Middlebury football game. Al- though tremendously outnumbered, we, the class of ' 64, put up a fierce battle but alas were defeated. The first event of Homecoming weekend, the Rope Pull, proved to be another defeat for our glorious class as we took an exceptionally muddy walk through Institute Pond. Finally, our luck was to change. After a hardfought scoreless tie in the soccer game, the football classic took place. After losing an early lead, the Sophomores roared back in the final period to score an exciting victory over an aroused Frosh team. Although trailing in the point totals now, the class of ' 64 is confident that it will succeed in cap- turing the trophy. Rushing as well as hazing takes on a whole new meaning for us, for now we are on the other side of the fence. We now have the opportunity to see how the rushing system really works. We also have started to specialize in our own major fields. Now, more than ever before, we feel the problems and dif- ficulties which will make our task of the next three years diffi- cult but satisfying. But even in the face of our difficulty, we shall strive to better ourselves educationally and also to meet any and all responsibilities which may fall upon our shoulders. Having proven our excellence educationally, athletically, and culturally in our initial year, the class of ' 64 looks forward to more and greater accomplishments in the future. CLASS OFFICERS Front Row: R. Drean, V. President, B. Gale, President. Back Row: D. Signori, Tech Senate; E. Curtis, Secretary; B. Ochieano, Treasurer; D. Adams, Tech Senate. There ' s gold on that thar football field 15
