Outlook
Bright
According to all indications,

filled to capacity this fall.
Girls’ accomodations are di
ready completely filled. Then
are approximately 12 spaces lef

ing to Glenn Hardesty, enougl
applications have been receivet
to fill these vacancies.
Figures show that there
will be 242 boarding freshmen
and 22 day students enrolling
in the fall, with 140 students
returning as sophmores.
The 264 freshmen were chosen
from 650 paid applications. This
is 30G- more applications than
were received last year, making
this the largest number ever re
ceived by the college.
Approximately 18 to 20
states will be represented in
the student body with 2 stud

Germany and one from Japan.
"This gives students a great
advantage”, said Mr. Hardesty,
"because of the wide range of
contacts they will have."
Because of the large amount
of selectivity involved in pick
ing next year’s students Mr.
Hardesty said that ‘it looks
looks like this will be the best
student body we’ve had in re
cent years".
