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.

Hockey games continued along, and on Febru- ary 18 we lost the sec- ond of the series to Princeton, 1-2, having lost the first one, 2-3. Iust a few days after, Princeton again dashed our hopes for a cham- pionship, this time in basketball to the score of 46-26. The swim- ming team, however, continued to take every meet in its stride. On February 22, Alumni Day, The Cloister announced its deci- sion to continue as a Senior Society, Book and Snake, electing its members from the Iunior Class of Yale University. lt was now time for the big social event of the winter sea- son, the Iunior Prom. Prepara- tions had been started long be- fore, and as a result of long planning the week-end was an unqualified success. Casa Loma, the Howard Twins, the Whiifenpoofs, and the Glee Club all contributed their Einsteins.
