A. w. s. PLAY BIG SISTER TO FRESHMEN September 14, 1926 Gold and white ttAsk Me ribbons are worn by the Big Sisters at each semi-annual Freshman registration. This is an ancient custom of the Spartan women which displays the spirit of friendliness and helpfulness to those who, for the first time, have entered the portals of our quad in quest of education. The high school graduate finds the first real thrill of collegiate atmosphere on this memorable day in making the necessary adjustments demanded in the new community. The Big Sisters of the Associated Women Students may well be credited for their aid rendered to the new little sisters who find themselves in an environment strange and bewildering. .I15,1

This record enrollment has set the pace for a splendid 1926-27 march of events. l141
