Food and entertainment relieved tensions for freshmen Freshmen certainly had no time to be homesick or bored with the schedule planned for them their first week at An- derson College. To release the tension created by new surroundings and the orientation process, several social activities were made available to them. First, their appetites were satisfied with a picnic as one of their first meals on campus near the baseball field. Chicken was plentiful; and so was the fun and fellowship that comes with the excitement of meeting new friends. Then, four sophomores performed in a Talent Show for the freshmen, exhibit- ing their various accomplishments in piano as well as in voice. To wrap up the activities, on Satur- day came the Field Day events which ranged from competitive sack races to egg throws, which often ended in the necessity for a bath. 18 Opening Week Activities

Social function strengthens student-faculty relations The line seemed endless as over four hundred freshmen waited to attend the President ' s Reception which is the first formal social event of the year. Women were arrayed in long dresses, and men in coat and ties. The freshmen were greeted to Anderson College by Dr. Maddox and his wife, along with Dr. Talmadge and Dean Franklin with their respective wives. Student government officers David White, Tim Moore, and Sharon Till also joined the receiving line to welcome the new members of the student body who will play a vital role in the SGA. Over refreshments, the freshmen had the opportunity to converse with faculty members not only on an academic basis, but on a personal level as well. Student-faculty relations were strengthened in this manner and the fellowship was enjoyed by all who at- tended the event. Social activities began in a congenial spirit. lop: Mrs. Betty McClellan and Mrs. Jean Alewine slyly plot to spike the punch while Billy King greedily grabs the cookies.
