'1- Freshman Overnighter A unique experience occurs in Oc- tober. For in this month, the Freshman Class is encouraged to attend the Freshman Overnighter. At the over- nighter, the Freshmen challenge their strength, courage, and stamina in trying to stay up the entire night. There were various games throughout the night. The video contest, chess tour- nament, and basketball tournament helped bring the Freshman Class 11. together by competition. Movies were shown in the cafeteria for those who wished to take a break and relax, but no sleeping was allowed. Serious poker games were played. The hours rolled by and without any announcement, six o'clock had arrived. Many conquered the night, but each freshman will never forget the coziness that was felt when finally hitting the sack after the long night.
