IUNIOR YEAR 43 The Berzelius and the Book and Snake societies announced their elections from the Sen- ior ranks of the University. Thanksgiving and the ensuing week-end brought Princeton and Fritz Crisler's newly pur- chased Tiger to New Haven to feed on Bulldog meat. Gun- delfinger had another attack. All the houses gave parties and the Dean's ollice had an attack. Colony jumbr, Princeton had an attack that was so good that Yale labored to a 27-2 defeat. The alumni had an attack concerning our coaching ethics. Then Rush Week loomed up and events took on the character of a .4 gg.,g Q Vtggt. second World War. iril L iiiil 'lri i Those fraternities who PlacidlY defied . the unuttered and too well denied com- g 5?

It was necessary at all Peek-a-boo. times to keep an ear to the ground and an eye on the dirt. Our Ac brothers departed for their two weeks' extra vacation which was playfully called a reading period, while we plodded to classes, did extra work in any Ac class in which we happened to be enmeshed, and genially cursed the whole inequality of af- fairs in general. Christmas vacation arrived on A ' schedule and scattered the inhabit- ants of Yale all over the United States and Hawaii. Florida and Bermuda, lands of sun-tanned ro- mance, claimed many of the stu- dents' attentions. The temperature on the Atlantic Seaboard went ab- solutely berserker and dropped flfhlvlff at fa-fc'-

44 CLASS OF NINETEEN TI-IIRTY-FIVE S. AND E. down to about twenty below. The Yales re- turned, either tanned or frost-bitten, their men- tal knapsacks full of wine, Women, and welkin, to face the mysterious, stiff, non-mid-year exams which reared up in about a week. That is to say, most of them returned. Iohn D. Creighton left our bachelor ranks altogether to join the bene- dictines and help poor General Iohnson hatch out his Blue Eagle. Two of our erstwhile classmates, who hoped to rejoin our Class, were by this time way down under in Australia sailing in the great grain race, A.B. Mills and A.B.,, Hotchkiss. C.B.D. Brown came within a hair of completing the greatest political scoop in modern history by rocketing himself to the Iunior Prom Committee, but his nefarious stumping was discovered in time to elect Messrs. Keeney, Dunbar, Loud, Bauer, Livingston, Quarrier, Callan, and Munson to the committee in question. These gentlemen managed to wail successfully about the poor ticket sale until the Prom was an overwhelming success. The weather man had doused us well with snow for the memorable blizzard of ,34. All traffic was tied up, classes were discontinued, as some of the professors could not ski. Igloos of surprising size and statues of amazing nudeness were erected, and snowshoes became more than orna- ments. The heavy quilt of snow was just managing to have a good melt for itself when the Prom arrived, but there was no dampness of enthusiasm. We do not feel that it is necessary to state that there were Sheff house parties afterwards. We here take the liberty of massing all our athletes to- gether in one big roll call, and take the additional liberty to state that they are all fine fel- lows to meet except in the Pffmiffivn I0 drive'- Deacon loner.
