Miss Mary Ann Mobley One of the biggest events of this school year occurred before it ever actually began. On the night of September 6, 1958 we sat, along with thirty million other Americans, before countless television sets, watching the Miss America Pageant from Atlantic City. We saw the tortuous process of elimination among the contestants, felt the increasing tension as the moment of decision drew near. Then as MC Bert Parks announced the name of the winner, a face familiar to all of us flashed on our flickering te levision screens. Mary Ann Mobley, tears in her soft brown eyes, accepted the vaunted title humbly, flashing the endearing smile that we at Ole Miss had long before grown to love. The coed from Ole Miss, the girl from Brandon, Mississippi, Mary Ann Mobley had charmed and sung her way to the pinnacle of achievement. This beautiful and talented southern girl was proclaimed the ideal of young American womanhood. For us at Ole Miss this title only heightened the admira- tion we already held for Mary Ann. We knew she would, carry out the duties of her position with the dignity and charm she has always shown in her many activities at Ole Miss. Mary Ann will return to Ole Miss next year. We are waiting for her.

Fresh Plebes and Ageing -roops We came back. Saturday, the influx gained momentum with the arrival of the freshmen on Sunday. Re- freshed, we plunged into the activities of Orientation. The freshmen were introduced to the campus--we took them on tours of the cafeteria, got them out at midnight for pep rallies, and appropriated their hair. In odd moments they took tests, and then more tests. Orientation was climaxed with the Welcome Rebel party Wednesday night on the Ox- ford square. We danced, drank free cokes, attended free movies, and were greeted by Oxford and school officials. Even our own Miss America telephoned from New York. also began Wednesday. We completed in- numerable forms, stood in line in the ra:n (it came back with us) for chest X-rays, fought for preferred teachers and hours, and paid dearly for the right to attend Ole Miss. By the end of the week, exhaustion had set in, and we never quite got rid of it again. Next the DDT for lice Freshmen are bribed with cokes not to SIN! Can you remember this far back, Cousin Aggie? 0
