Scott ' s Orientation: Above: Students Jennifer Driscoll and Kathy Oates made use of all available help moving in. Below: Scott and Tech freshmen met at the street dance which was held in the cafeteria due to the threat of rain. This year Agnes Scott prepared to meet its new freshman class, for the first time in years a larger class than the year before it. Orientation Council worked hard to plan events which introduced freshmen to campus boards and activities, to men from neighboring campuses, and to the Atlanta area: Campus board parties, mixers here and at Tech and Emory, and the Orientation packet telling students about Agnes Scott and Atlanta. Orientation also made a special effort to in- troduce transfer students to their classes with a party given in the Hub for sophomore transfers and a party in the Alumni garden for junior transfers. Another new twist to orientation activi- ties were the Interdorm sponsored Meet the Freshmen parties given in the freshmen dorms to encourage upperclassmen to get to know the new class. Registration also had a new, improved flavor. For those who had planned well enough the spring before there was advanced registration, a process by mail which permitted these fortunate few to forgo meeting the scheduling committee when they returned to school. For those who did have to see the committee, quite a harrowing ex- perience for the first time, scheduling was still better than the madhouse associated with the big universities. Scheduling as well as orientation is able to retain a personalized atmosphere at Agnes Scott. Arts Council President Melissa Schuster spoke at the Freshmen Introduction to the Arts .

Freshmen Fire-Up with Little Hot Stuff Traditionally, Black Ca t has been Agnes Scott ' s big- gest annual campus-wide weekend. Instituted over fifty years ago, Black Cat designates the end of freshman ori- entation. Through the years activities have been added which make Black Cat on even more special occasion for the campus community. This year ' s events spanned Thursday night through Sunday afternoon. Spirit ran high as classes began competition in the cafeteria and serenading in the Quad before Black Cat ' s official kicking-off — the bonfire and pep rally in the amphithe- atre Thursday night. At the bonfire each class sang its original song twice for the judges, and the competition winners were announced the next night at the Junior Class sponsored production. The Juniors won and the Se- niors were runner ' s-up. This year ' s production was a take- off on Camelot, I Wonder What the Scotties Are Doing Tonight? The production was followed by folk music and candied apples in the Quad. Because of Tech ' s home game with Tulane, no picnic at Stone Mountain was planned. Instead, a Lawn Party was held Sunday after- noon, with diners in the Quad enjoying live organ music. One of the highlights of Black Cat was the dance held Saturday night at the Marriot, with the Virginia Beach group Bill Deal and the Rhondells. The problem with Black Cat? — It was over too soon, and the only thing left to look forward to was exams.
