Actually, it was not until a full week had passed that the new freshman could attend their first classes. As "new Crusaders" the Class of 1962 escaped the ravages of pad- dles, beanies, and other instruments of benevolent castigation usually en- dured by newcomers to other col- leges. On the contrary, Holy Cross went out of her way to make her M»'im» new citizens feel at home. FENVVICK 4-W.

Long, S.J., was also receiving his first taste of Holy Cross life as the new Dean of Studies. Yet, to the freshmen that first week, even the Dean seemed just another speaker in a seemingly endless line. Another of the greeters was J. Paul Royston who was to serve as the Honorary Presi- dent of the class until February when a new president was to be chosen. 149 ' One of Royston's first duties was to name an Editor for the Link and the CAMPION.

As freshmen, one of the big events of the year is the presidential election, the first taste of campus politics. Jim Mulvihill was elected President. As- sisting him as officers of the young class were Peter Deckers, Doug Hoyt, and Bill Coffey in the posts of Vice President, Secretary, and Treas- urer respectively. Under such leadership, a social -^^ "- function was held for the first time by a class apart from the annual school functions. Donald Cooper served as chairman of the picnic at Dean Park while Bill Plunkett hosted the subsequent dance at the Elk's Hall. An innovation found over 100 students obtaining dates from New- ton under a "date bureau" plan. For most freshmen the first year at college marks the first time that they have been separated from their par- ents for an extended period. The cus- tom of Parents' Weekend afforded most freshmen a wonderful visit with their parents, especially with the big victory over Syracuse. The football cheers were dimmed considerably at season's end as Boston College was the victor on eastern television. To make matters worse, the temperature never rose above five degrees. The freshmen, quite naturally, had a great pride in their own football team. Dartmouth went down to de- feat at the hands of the frosh but Boston squeezed by the Crusader Cubs 12-7. Four years later, that game was certainly forgotten. Foot- ball spirit was never more prevalent than at the Perm State Rally as the 150 FENVVICK 4-W.

The Rambler was the style for the discipline office that year. Many a study hour was interrupted by a flash- light; many a man with a pizza was forced to hide in the weeds; and many a freshman punched the clock in the wee hours of the morning. Normally freshmen find themselves reluctant to enter the field of extra- curricular activity. Nevertheless, as first semester came to a close, many now familiar trends were beginning to appear. The freshman debaters buried all opposition with the pomp- ous arguments of Al Schuh, John Gottlick, and Jim Freeman; Bill Gartland and Paul McGrath were already writing for the Crusader; and Greg Smyth, Howard Angione and Bob Gmuer were frequently seen behind a WCHC microphone. 152 ^ WHEELER 5.

Thus, such Cross and Scroll speakers as Vera Denty, Louis Unter- meyer, and Willy Ley gave their views to the campus. Freshman year witnessed the death of Pope Pius XII and the beginning of a new era with Pope John XXIII. All eyes were turned on Rome with the election of the new Pope and Bishop Wright spoke of the Roman spirit at the Christmas banquet. Rome re- mained the theme for the senior musi- cal "When In Rome." Freshman year is always significant, and this held true for the Class of 1962. Each minute and event seemed terribly important, and the time seemed to go slowly. However, as the freshmen completed their final exams, each thought how fast it went by. —ROBERT GMUER 153 O'KANE 3.
