September-and it's back to school time, with new surroundings, new faces, new names, new systems, and more books. September is a congenial time at Ferris, for everyone tends to extend a welcoming hand and a warming smile. Fall term, for the freshman, begins with Orientation Week, which con- sists of tests, tours, and lectures. lt is during this week the newcomer realizes-this is the place! One of the main functions held at this time is the President's Tea. Formal acquaintance is then made between the administration and the student, which becomes a friendly 'hi' on the campus.
