IHURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1941 torncolas, Customs, Curses And Cla Think '45 Customs Are Tough? Look What Old-Timers Endured! If the Class of 1945 looks ;through its freshman bibles and gasps at the list of 20 general customs on the wearing of the green, it should take a gander at the rules imposed upon the frosh of twenty years ago. Back in "the good old days'" the yearlings had a string of 31 items to observe. Besides most ,of the don'ts on this year's list, they were forbidden to go bare-headed, had to remain in chapel until every one else left, were forbidden to wear the College colors during the first smester, had to keep their tOTC uniforms buttoned at. all !times, were denied the privilege of if"adorning their faces with hair growths," and forbidden to enter pool rooms or wear any insignia os, from high schools or prep schools. 11 And that's not all. Freshmen, and even - sophomores, were re quired to wear coats at all times, and the frosh weren't allowed on the senior benches. Neither could they talk back to upperclassmen or loiter on Allen Street between College and. Beaver Avenues. Class of '45, Welcome Ford, Mercury and Lincoln Zephyr Dealer . F. D.

There were two mild redeeming points. If the frosh defeated the sophs in the interclass football game, they were allowed to carry canes, but only for the remainder of the day. The frosh, and only the frosh, were allowed to paint their class numerals on the armory roof, but it had to be on the Sat urday night before Baccalaureate Sunday.
