Hikes Tumbling out of bed becomes more than a figure of speech when the clubs decide to hike. That posse of determined clubsters knows many expedients for rousing the reluctant risers. Judiciously adminis- tered, these measures effect large attendance on our salutations to the bleak and gray dawn. In the morning, worship to God seems natural -so natural, in fact, that it is a customary ingredi- ent of each club hike. Memories of enthusiastically sung songs and sincere prayer given in this early morning atmosphere will remain to motivate us long after college days are over. Heads are bowedg the fire crackles and hisses while the hilarious voices that so recently shouted over rnuffed fly balls are quiet. Suddenly one of the group begins to pray. As his prayer rises in the crisp cold air a warmth not of the fire steals into our veins and the wonder- ful companionship becomes tangible and close. The mystery of it glows for days. But we must also speak of the breakfasts! Sizzling, curling bacon-scalding paper-cupped coffee, fresh golden-crusted doughnuts! There is poetry in those simple words! With such friends as these a slab of black bread would be a feast, indeed. 6:00 - 7:30 Fifty-Seven

From Here On- When plans for an interesting Echoes began to evolve it was deemed at least a worthy experiment to organize our extracurricular section in a radically different manner. Beginning with six o'clock in the morn- ing and continuing throughout an average school day we would pre- sent the activities in the order in which they occurred. The early morning hikes would come first, then the preschool period, the first two morning class sessions, the chapel hour, etc. We thought that not only might this be a new approach but a timesaver for the busy reader. He would only have to think of the time an activity took place and then turn to the section devoted to that paricular part of the day. If he were not so busy and were just leafing through, he would get, we thought, a truer, more kaleidoscopic view of campus life than in the conventional subdivisions. The day would unroll before his eyes in the same motley way it does when one is actually living it. We have directed our best efforts in this endeavor and still hope to maintain our artistic integrity. The staff hopes the reader will find his way around easily and will at the same time be careful to look in the evening pages for the basketball games, and in the chapel-hour pages for the clubs and committees which met regularly at that hour, to mention only a few items. Happy hunting! Fifty-Six

7:3O- 7:45 'N "-. l By 7:30 even the most procrastinating of the Knights of the Dawn has reluctantly shut off the alarm clock and has, Balboa- like, planted his feet upon the chilly linoleum. In the dorms students stand patiently in line-toothbrush in hand, and hand in eye--to perform cursory ablutions. In the cloakroom there is frantic taking off of coats and searching for notebooks. In the cafeteria kitchen Elsie Hehr makes the coffee and sees that there is food for hungry, hurried freshmen. It is a busy fifteen minutes. Fifty-Eight
