Ranging all the way from 110 to 200 pounds the freshmen present a variety of aspects for the ensuing year. Looking through the slowly vanishing scale of homesickness they are not the greenish bits of humanity that they appeared to be at first sight. Much opposition was created by the adoption of the regulation requiring compulsory attendance at the eleven b’clock service. There are many anti prohibitionists also. The students should rejoice over the fact that they get only a cut, and not the sixteenth century punishment: namely, the stocks. EDITORIAL One of the most active organiza tions on the campus is, strange to say, the least popular. Yet it pays the stu dent. The Farm Relief Force com pares favorable with the recent B. E. F. Read Avery’s Dairy Diary to un derstand that end of the organization. “Hello Freshman!” This familiar greeting from the sophomore to the new man is frequently heard around a school during the opening days. How does this freshman feel? He most likely feels, at first, that everyone is looking at him and that} he is a stranger in a strange land. This boy has probably left his home for the first time in his life. There are certain adjustments that have to be made. It is necessary to become accustomed to the dormitory life, that is, learning to live and mingle with many other boys of various types and characters. But this rather uncomfort able feeling does not last long in the Junior college. Special at tention is given to him. The arrogant sophomores really don t mean any'harm by their pestering remarks but are only out for a little fun. As a matter of fact, it is their earnest desire to es tablish a fnendly acquaintance with the new men. The average Junior college has from one hundred and fifty to two hundred students. In a student body of this size, it is easy for all the men to become adapted to the conditions of a new en vironment. The boy does not feel that he is lost and it takes only a short,time ito find his place whereas if he were in some large university, it would probably take him a whole year to get settled. The student in the Junior College can immediately go to work and feel perfectly at home. Another thing that greatly aids the freshman in the small school is the individual instruction and direct contact with the profes sors. Most of the classes are comparatively small and in this way the instructor can give special individual attention. Soon the professor and the student know each other personally. At the Junior College we find that a freshman feels that he has a real part in the school. The different organizations offer him excellent opportunities. On the athletic field the new man is given an equal chance with the others. As all organizations are natur ally small, the new boy very soon finds himself in the thick of the fight. So to the freshman of Rutherford this year, the faculty, old students, and the Rectangle Staff extend a most hearty welcome. We want you to feel that you are one of our number. You are cordially invited to take an active part in our various organiza tions, our church, and other activities. We hope that your stay at Rutherford will be most happy and we are wishing you a very successful year’s work. Let iis all be united as one to make this, the 1932-33 session at Rutherford, the best in its history. Also let us strive to make Rutherford one of the best little colleges in the south. The College Brewery (E. D. C. B.) The most distinguishable feature around the College is the relative small number of Co-eds weaving in and out among the male population. They now boast a petite stenographer. Miss Nichols, who followed Glen Nixon upon his departure. According to Coach Weaver, and not Webster, the sophomores are the '“lowest form of animal life” belong ing to the“American Mendicant Order” and majoring in the physical culture of the thumb. In fewer and simpler words the sophomores are bums, ac cording to the above authority. The presidents of the two societies are rooming together peacefully. This goes to prove that the co-operative spirit of the world is at last invading society work at Rutherford College. Vlany Students and Friends Were Present (Continued From Page 1) ferent students and members of the faculty to say a word for the different organizations of the school. The Ministerial Band was represented by its president, Mr. Earl Brewer; The Newtonian Literary Society by Mr. Allen Surratt; The Platonic Literary Society by Mr. John Gibbs; The Vic torian Literary Society by Miss Mar garet Goode; Student Government by the president, Mr. Clyde Matheson; Athletics, Prof. C. 0. Cathey; and The Rutherford Rectangle,” a stu dent publication by Mr. James Wren. Following these remarks, the audi ence was directed to the back of the auditorium where punch was served. Class Elect New Officers—^A. Surratt, President Sophomore Class On Saturday, September 24, the three classes organized and elected officers.

The en rollments of the classes of this and last year are compared in the figures below: 1931-32 1932-33 Sophomores 29 43 Freshmen 68 67 High School 29 15 These figures show a favorable in crease in the number of sixth year men and a decrease in the high school department, both of which tend toward a stronger junior college.

Popular Secretary Leaves School Mr. Glen F. Nixon who for the past three years has been secretary to the President, left recently to go to his home in Charlotte. Mr. Nixon was a very prominent figure on the campus, carried a full course, and did heavy office work. He was a member of the college, or chestra, a Jomeokee, and also served in many other capacities. “Nick” will be greatly missed at Rutherford and the writer is sure that he is ex pressing the sentiment of the entire student body and faculty in wishing him success in whatever he may un dertake.
