Adrian Bogart Jr. '51, fondly remembered taking the train back to the Malone campus
from New York City after Christmas 1947, and not being able to see the train station at

left and then look to your right, for by graduation time, two of you won't be here!"

from Malone to Potsdam in 30 degree below zero weather just to see a Clarkson-St. Lawrence
hockey game.
