in the history of the college — 14
more than iast year — went
through the process which had al
ready .«(ent 414 other students to
bed. However, there was one con
solation — they had completed that
period of week-long orientation.
Actually, orientation wasn't that
bod! For by the time upperclass
men arrived on Sunday. Septem
ber 13. the freshmen were wtII-
acquainted with each other and the
campus. There had been a talent
show which uncovered some “real
gone” talent. There was a theater
party at the Wilson 'Hieatre. and
many other activities to fill the
week. Anyway, by now everyone
is feeling quite at home!
And here's a bit of welcome from
upperclassmen ~ “Blessings on
thee, sweet souls! “May we find
it in us to treat thee well!"
On her first day at school the
little girl wept when her playmate
told her she would have to stay
in school until she was,^ sixte<*n.
