Hart remembers how the college in the early 1950s used to be a very small, conservative, restrictive place with rigid rules and discipline about dress codes, curfews, and general student behavior. Topics also include his athletic achievements during the college years, his efforts to involve African American and female students in college revues, how he became the announcer for the Philadelphia Flyers, his observation on how to succeed in print and broadcast sports media, and violence in hockey games. People mentioned include George Ackerman, William Andreas, Adelbert Botts, Bernice Casper, Earl Dean, Vernetta Decker, Jessie Turk, Roy Van Ness, and Roscoe West.
