28 CLASS OF NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE S. AND E. Along in November some few of us realized that Roosevelt had been elected. Less than that cared. Little realizing that our future years in college would be complicated by New Deal economics, we Touche. journeyed blithely down to Princton to see one of the best games of the season, which ended in a 7-7 tie. Needless to say, our enterprising Class experienced many strange experiences in its stop-overs in New York both before and after the game. In fact, many of them were too strange to bear repetition. November IQ was one of the most enjoy- able week-ends we had yet spent in New Haven. Wet inside and out, we watched in a driving rain our team slide to a IQ-0 vic- tory over our traditional rivals. DeAngelis and Callan had upheld our standard on the playing field-McCreath, Donahoe, and Gordon with the water buckets. We were also mildly surprised to learn from reliable information that Wolcott had done us honor on the soccer Held. Those who could took the following week off for Thanksgiving and returned to find sedate old Van-Sheff in an uproar. Dartmouth linx 1932. Calling week was upon us. We were told

SOPHOMORE YEAR ROSEY, affecting the gray slouch hat and informal brown suit, greeted us with his greasy green tickets. The Sheff and Tri- angle Clubs began a bitter struggle to lure us into their portals, and it was common gossip that one enterprising chef actually fried a real steak that first day. Firmly resolved to start right this time, we gave up gin and other diversions. However, one bright student dis- covered that gin would cure the sore throats caused by the rainy climate. Back with gin came the rest of our inhibitions. Still gullible, economics made our hearts beat faster. Professor Uhler thrilled us twice a week, and with our undiminished enthusiasm we plunged into everything. A few chose the athletic way to fame, but most chose the parlor variety. The football season loomed large on the horizon. Maybe last year we had been a little out in the cold, but this year Ac dances were open to us, so we'd have dates and everything. Anyway, we soon found it almost impossible to see a kick-off. Army came, and Army left, leaving us twenty points behind. We had a lot of fun between the halves, though. Andy Callan brought joy and glory to Shefftown when he scored the one touchdown to give us a 6-o victory over Dartmouth.

At last, on Friday night, the more credulous Seen in the Bowl. ones opened their sealed envelopes and found to their dismay that secret service operator No. 48 must be living on Wall Street. On Saturday night it was all over and we felt better, except possibly those members of one club which served an exceedingly poor grade of oys- ter at its pledge dinner. Reading periods came along, the fellows in Ac went home for Christmas, we took our cuts and followed them. A new world was open to us when we returned in Ianuary with tales of social achievements and other exploits, we were no longer just Sophomores, but were also members of the social side of Sheff. Transferring our meal bills to the U Club and our mail from Yale Station, we eagerly took up pool, bil- liards, beer parties, and other harmless activities offered to us.
