Students arrive to meet challenges of college life Upon arriving at Anderson College for their first year, the new students have mixed emotions. Their enthusiasm is di- mmed somewhat by the ominous mass of new experiences that face them. There is an obvious feeling of action, concern, and determination. There is much excitement about mov- ing into this new environment. Each has his preconception of college life, and they each have their own dreams to fulfill. The air is charged with apprehension; how- ever, attempts have been made to put the new class at ease. At the close of orientation activities, it is apparent that the new class is beginning to feel comfortable, and perhaps at home in their new surroundings.

Because they are familiar with the process, they go about it with an air of non-chalance. This leaves the opportunity to renew old friendships as well as some time for quiet thoughts about all that will be involved in the coming year. With this comes the re- newal of old problems which must be dealt with as soon as possible. Soon enough, however, the students find themselves back in the old routine and all problems are temporarily forgot- ten or solved. Upper: Lene Lynn goes through the motions of unpacking and moving in once again. Lower: The arrival of students brought on the traditional freshmen initiation. Sophomore Arrival 13
