Umm umm r and School, do the T '- two mix? is hether on the beach or in the classroom, students spent their summers in two differ- ent worlds. While most were working at summer jobs, serving as summer missionaries or relaxing on family vacations, Samford was going through another term of summer school. Though on a smaller scale, classes ran much as usual during the summer term. Students lived in air-condition- ed Smith and Pittman. They took classes in chemistry, foreign languages or anything else they needed in order to make up credits or get a little ahead. Aside from the two summer school terms offered, Samford engaged in a variety of other events during the summer. Debate and Yearbook workshops were hosted on campus for high school students, in addition to so- rorities preparing for Rush on different weekends throughout the summer. One of the highlights of the summer was the three orientation weekends lead by Solo teams made up of Samford students. These weekends gave incoming fresh- men and transfer students the opportunity to register for fall classes and gain first hand information about Sam- ford. They attended fraternity parties, went to orienta- tion seminars and got their first taste of the cafe. The University did not just shut down over the sum- merg it was alive and active in summer programs and preparations for the fall semester. fllallle Vw: Hagen '42 nw'- I' till-Us ..... arol Van Cleave, Laurie Roark, and Cyn- thia McKenzie pose with Yosemite Sam during an end-of-the-summer trip to Six Flags Over Georgia. bewildered freshman, Shirley Chastain, waits in the registration line as Dr. Bryan giwes her a card.
