Transcript	The End of an Era A n I n t r o d u c t i o n JUNE 12, 1950 Will Mark The End Of The Unique Period In American Education, The era of the greatest mass scholarship in history—the G. I. Bill of Rights. June 12, 1950, graduation day, will witness the high water mark of the veterans' domination of college life. Five hundred thousand veterans and their classmates this year will flood the labor market and the graduate schools. The Fresno State College class of 1950, if for no other reason, will be remembered for its sheer weight of numbers. It was the largest freshman, sophomore, junior and senior class in the history of the school. It was the first class to win the freshman-sophomore brawl twice. Even these victories were reported to have resulted from numerical superiority. On a fateful September day in 1946, when the class was first registered as freshmen, the campus looked like Penney's in the midst of a fire sale. Throughout the social hall, registrar's office and library, the monstrous task of getting the one thousand seven hundred new people on campus squared away in the right classes was carried on. Many a fellow cringed at the thought of standing in the vets books line which ran the length of the union. Everyone had already sweated out a line several blocks long at six in the morning to receive an antiquated device known as a line card. Yes, this is the end of an era. Looking back over this period a lot of laughs, a lot of good times, a lot of anxious waiting for grades can be recalled. Incidents such as the mad dash to COP by train, the first attempt to check a book out of the library, all night poker games at the vets dorm and hours spent drinking beer at the Hi-Life discussing the existence of a Supreme Deity and the merits of bourbon and scotch. Taking everything into consideration it has been a pretty good four years, but we hope the mid-century class is the last such class ever to enroll in college. We would much prefer that never again will a class register as freshmen wearing combat boots and flight jackets. From now on the classes will consist mainly of pink-cheeked youths, fresh from high school, who have never known the taste of C rations or who never would be able to tell the difference between an LST and a Mark IV. There will be no more tales of Pigalle, three point two PX beer or eighteen hour KP shifts. The new lads will be able to tell stories of class skating parties, senior ditch days and junior class proms. The newcomers will personify the new trend in education and the new, brighter era for Fresno State. For that story, turn the page.
