Freshmen Feelings By REBECCA CARTER Remember the TV chance games where the contestant moved to a higher plateau each time he answered a correct series of questions? The Fresh man Class is similar to those who participated in the quiz zes, because those of us who have been able to answer the right questions (on tests) are moving on to a higher plateau in life. We have received re wards for our labor and the prize is promotiotn to the sta tus of sophomore. What a re lief to remove our former title of freshmen! Using tflie flashback method, we can see all the important events which have occurred in the last nine months. We nev er thought that in one short year at St. Andrews we would become philosophers, research woirkers, liistorians. Biblical scholars, and play critics. While reaching our second plateau, we learned the skills of bridge, twisiting, tennis, and walking ( the causeway got us in sihape quickly). We are proud of the members of the class wlio have pitched in to make this college a suc cess. We were represented on the athletic as well as the po litical sides of situdent life. TV contestants are at a dis advantage over freshmen, 'be cause they cannot make or choose the type of plateau that they will ascend to. We would like to see more improvements next year and we are willing to work through our officers to get them. The chapel as semblies could be more effect ive if the programs varied by having movies, plays and choirs We hope the administration will work to have our spring holi days over Easter, and allow us to wear bermudas on campus in the afternoons. There is also a need for faster and better mail service. These small but important improvements will make a ter rific difference in the morale of the students already here at St. Andrews and will also be beneficial to . the spirit of the incoming 'freshman class. Thoroiigh changes sudh as these there will result a closer co-operation between students and faculty to make next year go even smoother. (Continued from Page 1) Billy May, Olympics name groups, the Olympics and the Catalinas. The Olympics, who obtained national promi nence in the popular field with their million copy seller “West ern Movies,” have sold several million more copies of their I three big albums, “Hully Gul ly,” “Original Hits” and “Dance by the Light of the Moon,” not to mention numer ous single hit recordings such as “Big Boy Pete,” “Private Eye,” and “Peanut Butter.” The Catalinas, who hail from Charlotte, N. C., are well known throughout the area as “one of the hottest bands to come out of the Carolinas in quite a while,” and are defi nitely on their way up. They are primarily known for their “live” performances, although they do have some records, 3uch as “Flying Formation” and “Sweetheart,” on the Back- beat and 20th Fox labels. Congratulations dbngratulations go out to Dr. Charles G. Vardell on the performance and premier of his latest composition.

Among Dr. Vardell’s works are compositions ranging from piano and organ solos, to can tatas, anthems and various compositions for Orchestra.
