FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Last fall we, the Class of ' 46, enrolled as mem- bers of McKendree, just as our predecessors have done for the last one hundred and fifteen years. Like any other Freshman class, we were green about college life. We did not know what to ex- pect, or how we would fit into the college scene, but it was not long until we caught the spirit from our upperclass friends, and became a happy port of the college family. As we fell into step, McKendree traditions be- came our standards. Memories handed down through the years became our memories. Among them lies our initiation week durmg which many of us became personally acquainted with Lake Beau- tiful and the chapel belfry. Just as inspiring were our moonlight hikes. In our serious moods we selected our officers, and settled down to be worthwhile Freshmen. We were proud to take on active port in celebratmg the annual hHomecoming and in sponsoring an All- School play night. Our country has called a few of us to its de- fense, but we who remain hope, as our first year draws to a close, that McKendree has benefited by our having lived within her walls. To those who will soon take our places, we give our welcome as we pass on as upperclassmen to do greater service for the school we love, our Alma Mater. McK.
