Fr? ^ Accepted B} Upperclasses Freshmen Invade Campus On Day of September Fifth On the fifth of Sept. the A. C. C. Campus was beseiged by many wide-eyed young freshmen —ISy to be exact. All day the students arrived — trunks, bags, parents, promises to write, good byes. Upperclassmen, who seem ed to these greenies the gods of knowledge, were scattered around gladly giving advice, pointing out the buildings, offering helpful suggestions and trying to connect the new names and the new face.s. The freshmen, as frosh have a> ways done and always will do, be came acquainted with their room mates and the people next door, went to their first college meal, Were .«»hown where their various classes w<^iJd meet ?|nd where t^^y would receive their mail. Inuring the next few days the frcfihmen were at an active pace to keep up with the vari ous duties and entertainments. Psychological tests, math place ments tests, physical and medical exams were given. Library tours >n groups of twenty were conduct ed. Government meetings were beld.

Frances F. and Myrtle Harper Memorial Histories of Publications Give Many interesting Facts About A. C. Papers The Radiant Was First Journalistic Effort For College The Radiant, the first journal istic accompli.shment of Atlantic Christian Collegc, was publisheti about 1905. As far back as we have a complete record of the Ka- dient, which is 1940, I^assie Davis and Mattie I’hillips were editors witT^^aj'es I'ari.sh as buStffefx manager. This small booklet was published quarterb’; in November, January, March, and May by the Student Publication Convmittec. The Radient contained editorials, short stories, poems, college hap penings, adds, and various arti cles on Athletics. The booklet, thereby, helped the students to exchange and create new ideas. We know from our own experi- eru:es that this new achievemeni aroused much interest and en- thu.stasm i.m«• antiquated and replaced by a modern, much needed, post office. Many of the old problems of mail disappearing will be removed. When the music Department re ceived its new quarters in the basement of the Howard Memorial Chapel, an empty room was left on the first floor of the girls’ dormitory. AfUT much discussion as to how to be.st utilize the much needed space, the decision came for housing a post office. Individual boxes have been ob tained, we understand they were formerly used in the Old Smith- field Post Office, and will be rent ed to the students.for a nominal charge of twenty-five cents per student. Students not desiring in dividual boxes may obtain their mail .from the general delivery window at hours which will be posted in the near future. Also the packages, which have for years lined the office and hall of the boy’s dormitory, will be dis tributed from the central mailing point. > From present indications the post office will be run by a post mistress, perhaps secured from (Continued on IJack Page) Sadie Hawkins Day All the leading colleges in our country are sponsoring a Sadie Hawkins Day.
