Q CLEAN-UP DAY - T MIGHT be a fire-drill, a gigantic surveying l i or a relief corps to help the starving A that swarm of interestingly-clad people gathering ' - -- on the quadrangle one sunny spring afternoon. The advent of Community Service has made Clean-up Day an orderly affair with captains, lieutenants and water-boys to run events through in record time. Shovels, rakes, and bushel- baskets are distributed generously and assignments to sections and type of work are offered with business-like precision. A feeling which very nearly approaches civic pride thrusts even laziest of Antiochians into the ranks and for those who fail to answer roll a search is instituted. No matter if the Messrs. Magruder and Hanchett appear to be arrayed for golfg today they swing the pick-axe. Sammy stands by disconsolately while all the bones he has hidden away pile up with the snaky line of leaves and rubbish which follows the rake brigade Cno punj across the campus. Fem- inine fingers uncover to the sun tender green blades that lie hesitating beneath the dead leaves. Flames leap from the piled- up gleanings and the smell of woodsrnoke drifts over the workers. Popular music blares out in a lively chant to keep the shovels in time. Color tinges the western sky as the quiet of late afternoon comes on. The confused shouting of the early afternoon has given way to only occasional bantering that echoes in the growing silence. Healthy outdoor tiredness hangs on the al- most civic Antiochians who check in their rakes and baskets and water-pails. Clean-up Day has left its mark once more- on all but the rear of South Hall. 107 .

HAZING -' N A sorr rather discouraging mist a group of pro- , tant sophomores to the east front steps of the main building. This was the official ushering in of hazing week for Division B-that more or less delightful event ex- perienced and shall we say anticipated by every 'timid fresh- man who hopefully enters the portals of learning throughout the country. It was as motley an array as was ever gathered in front of those steps-beggars, ballet dancers, peasants, gypsies, and the usual nondescript outfits procured at the last minute. All this in place of the customary pajama parade which the sophomores this year had tactfully voted to abolish, While still retaining some device to put the freshman in his placef' All this whoopee apparently had little effect on the village, for it calmly ate its supper and put its children to bed as the column of freshmen, guided, prodded, and otherwise assisted by the sophomores, wound its way down town. We have it firsthand that the boys, what with paddling and leap-frogging, fared far worse than the girlsg but ask any girl what it feels like to sing the Alma Mater for the nth time. 525: .
