End of Fall Term The wealth of enthusiasm over a new way of life at Abbot burst into mixed feelings as Fall term progressed. Student Government exploded into two wary factions and a movement for serious evaluation started. The power shifted hands quickly and a new era began. All was not trauma, however. Witness: Due to circumstances beyond our control occurred: Wild Bird Pie Party, mock elections, and Long Lasting After-Effects of History Exams. The highlight of our career was changing the furniture in the faculty room— with the recompense of no T.V. or mail. The call of the outdoors was strong, and sleeping in the courtyard, a snow dance before field day and fire escape activities satisfied our Pantheistic desires. Jabberwocky accompanied Come Ye Thankful at Thanksgiving Vespers, and P. A. came through in the end with carols and serenading and a pre-Christmas snowball fight. We left for a much-needed Christmas vacation with the Halleluia Chorus ringing in our ears and a great deal of hope for a real NEW YEAR. 11
