Kreskin, the amazing mentalist convmces particlpants that their hands are tightly locked Ssemblies ln orm An ntertaln The Amazing Kreskin, master of ESP, came to visit N.D. on October iirst and third. He dazzled his audience by reading their minds and by demonstrating the power of sugges- tion. Student participants found themselves chasing imaginary animals across the stage and reacting in strange ways to the sound of his voice. His visit was one that will long be remembered by the student body. The members of the Ierseymen Club spon- sored a pre-election assembly on October 29, 1969. The purpose of the program was to make the students aware of the pressing issues of the gubernatorial campaign and how they would be handled by each candidate. The guest speakers were William Dowd, Republi- can for Cahill and Dave Oxman, Democrat for Meyner. As a special guest, Mr. Iames Heddon of Rider College presided. He believed in and was working for the establishment of the eighteen year-old vote which was a major issue for his youthful N.D. audience. 28

On September third, the Hurry of opening day activities greeted all N.D. students. The mem- bers of the student body who were most con- fused by these events were the Freshmen. But by September 26th, the schedules had be- come routine enough for the annual Blue and White Day to take place. Two days before the big football game against Essex, homerooms were decorated to promote school spirit. In- cluded in the dayis festivities were a pep rally and the introduction of the Big Blue Machine by the Key Club. On September 29th, Notre Dame hosted the Freshman Parents Orientation. The department heads and subject teachers gathered to brief the parents of the Class of '73 about the N.D. curric- ulum. After an assembly program, the parents were given the opportunity to become ac- quainted with the freshman students. A social hour followed. Bruce Harmon aided by Luanne Fares, Ioanne Petito, and Eugene Meskill share in the decorating of home- rooms on Blue 8: White Day.
