1933

ANOTHER TRIP DOWN NOSTALGIA BOULEVARD. September 1929: 624 members of 1933 hit the campus . . . matriculation in the august presence of President Hopkins... buying and wearing those damned beanies . . . "sweet cider time" and those "soft September sunsets" ... touch football games on the campus ... Chief Hallissey, in golden splendor, planted on the C&G corner... the Norwich game with posturing cheerleaders, marching cadets, puerile Delta Alpha parade, and astronomical D scoring. .. the orientation course with Poole, Patton and Raushenbush: physics, evolution, and contraception . . . Spud Bray padding about campus striking fear into the hearts of malefactors . . . Bill Brock's Barber Shop . . . the 1933 freshman team: Capt. Schollenberger, Mackey, Rollins, Wilson, undefeated, beating Harvard 21-0 . . . the brilliant foliage show on Balch Hill . . . the World Series: Athletics beating the Cubs . . . the October stock market crash ... harriers Bush, Babson, and Sanborn loping merrily over hill and through dale . . . "crowding into Commons" for frankfurts and beans on Saturday nights with the freshman orchestra Hammett, Abercrombie, Hardy, Stege, at al.—blaring from the balcony... the Nugget and the Marx Brothers in "The Coconuts," with raucous cries of "milk" and "more air" from the groundlings . . . Winter, with"the crunch of feet on snow," the "dry cold," and the change to woolen freshman headgear . . . Carnival with its electric atmosphere, sound of music ("What is This Thing Called Love?") and influx of feminine pulchritude as heard and seen from the outside by '33...Dewey,Goldthwait, Mann, and Wakefield excel on boards and blades ... Stearns Morse reading from Robert Frost . . . February thaws and duckboards on campus . . . Hemingway's AFarewell to Arms hits bookstores followed by Perelman's Dawn Ginsberg's Revenge... Freshman Glee Club wows the outlanders at Etna and damsels at Colby... at long last, the spring with a marvelous late May... trips to Morey and Fairlee for basking on the braes ... geology field trips to Norwich to view the garnetiferous hornblende schist. . . final exams in the gym... going out from Bowler's "Smut" Class, '33 is safe at last in the sophomore class.
