“It’s been terrific”—Lee Scott
Well, here it is. The end of eight terms—three years at SC, and it’s been packed with interest. A lot can happen on our campus, and it certainly has. Activities, experiences, friends, that will continue to refresh one’s me ^ries.
My first taste of the University of
Southern California was probably the same as yours—the hours of registration, dropping classes, standing in line for books, being rushed around from one office to another. And then there was Man and Civ, freshman English, bussing dishes in Aeneas hall, the old men’s dorm. The Stanford game was the first chance to go north and wander through the streets of San Francisco with rooter’s cap on head. “ ’Neath Tommy Trojan” was produced this first year; the “Vulture” also made its appearance. And then —three-hour finals! Ouch!

LEE SCOTT . . Troy's boy.
July 1, 1943—changed clothe*~ now in navy blue. Sent back to SC, luckily. We moved into Henderson hall (even had rugs on tha ! floor). Those were days of adjustment to navy routine. And I thfm, a Men’s Glee club was finally organized, one of the biggest things to hit SC. A navy band was organized along about this time which turned out to be a lot -of fun. It even put on a concert one Saturday morning.
The summer term of ’44 came to an end with the stuctent body election. Yours truly stepped in with not a little fear and a good deal of trembling to the office on the second floor of Student Union, full of hopes and willingness, at least.
This last year at SC has been “terrific,” to use an oft-repeated but still good word. Remember (Continued on Page Two)
