YOU AND THE CROWD - MacMurray combines both into o unique and harmonious community which possesses a spirit of unity that separates it from the world outside the campus limits. You, the student, are the cornerstone from which the crowd develops with all its psychological and sociological characteristics. As your moods change, so the actions and thoughts of the crowd fluctuate. Analize the crowd and you may find it to be your gang that meets for coffee and a cigarette in the Hub after your 9 a.m. class, or it is your class scheming to surprise the campus with a serenade. The crowd may be your suitemates discussing a pertinent problem, your sister class cheering with you at an Army-Navy game, or the student body gathered outside the dining hall for an all-school picnic; but you are always a part of it. Sometimes you may feel that there is nothing you would rather do than escape that crowd when it becomes a mass of unfriendly persons trying to be first for books or to register or to stampede the dining hall at mealtime. In the rush, the crowd becomes an irrationally reacting mob. When you s eparate yourself from the crowd temporarily, you appreciate it even more, knowing that it encourages stu- dents to maintain their individuality through moments of aloneness. These moments give an opportunity to calm the inner tensions which can often grow out of the closeness of a group. You feel this peace in an isolated practice room in Music Hall, back in the library stacks or late at night when you walk through the halls of a sleeping dorm. When you leave the crowd, either over vacation or with graduation, you carry with you lasting memories of this crowd. Some are good, some unpleasant but all of them are an in- tegral part of you. It is with this in mind that the ILLIWOCO staff presents this story of MacMurray to YOU AND THE CROWD. WITH FRIENDS FOR COFFEE AND CHATTER 5

Every year has its special activities, but also the re-enacting of treasured traditions, and 1958-1959 was certainly one of those years. Let ' s follov ' the crowd through its varied activities in the rushing wave of social events, meetings, and studying that is MacMurray. For the inexperienced, but eager class of 1962, Orientation Week was eventful and highly important. Guided by their understanding and encouraging S.O.S. counselors, they floundered through the maze of orientation tests, registration, and first classes to emerge at the Color Ceremony. Students quickly begin to see their hard-earned summer savings diminish as they purchase books for the semester. AND REMEMBER THE FIRST WEEKS IN SEPTEMBER 7
