"You wanna borrow my car for what?" Four years ago 175 comparative strangers were gathered together on the Hill with the common purpose of spending four years getting an education and, incidentally, to function as a "Class." At that time senior year seemed light-years away, and it was great fun to incredulously imagine "some- one in our class as Student Government president, or Home- coming Queen, or Gold Bug editor!" It seemed hardly less incredible to the upperclassmen. In our first week on campus we were tagged, at best, as "dif- ferent," and, more generally, simply "bad news." The smallest and most studious class in recent years, no more out-of-it group could be imagined. In sharp contrast to the ultra-social Class of '63, we had to be continually prodded by adminis- tration and upperclassmen to join organizations and attend social functions. But slowly and inconspicuously the underdog character of '64 began to forge a unity as the classmates worked together. Somewhere in the middle of the junior year the class's latent leadership appeared and the group awoke to the challenge to make a definite contribution to the campus. Beginning a few new traditions and adding a professional touch to old ones, -64 gave an Italian flavor to the junior-senior banquet, revolutionized the Follies, prepared to send five members out of the country on the campus's first overseas project, worked with the faculty on evaluating the college, and plotted to overhaul the Student Government Association and the yearbook. Suddenly the Class of '64 had a new image. The term "different" was still applied to it, but now it meant an origi- nal way of getting things done-it meant making positive SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS. First row: Helen Terry (Vice.president). Barry Lazarus (Treasurer), Second r?w: George Gebelein (President), changes. Carole RIchardson (Secretary), Sue Gordon (SGA representative) Earl Four years, one Follies, eight floats, and countless mixers Armiger (SGA representative). ' from that ignominious orientation week, it does seem more natural, if still incredible, for those of us who are left to be seniors at last. The 175 strangers are now 124 friends- a unity-a Class. 233
