Each summer the orientation committee and student services staff brainstorms to come up with a theme for orientation week which will also express the emo- tions of the entire year. The New Wave summed up the feeling of a new beginning and the idea that things are definitely changing on campus. Orientation week is the bridge connecting freshmen to the Bap- tist College family. College policies are learned, new friends are made, and students adjust to a new schedule. L,-J R MM , ,ad Z ,fee Core groups were formed at Playfair. Barbara Mead, asst. dean of students, was a part of this group. John Hosey, v. pres. for business affairs, joined students in Playfair's famous collapsing circle. 6 Orientation E THUSIASM Before the freshmen arrived, the orientation committee spent many hours planning, matching new students to big brothers and sisters, painting banners and signs and organizing work crews. Excite- ment during the weekend was high and culminated with the kick-off banquet the evening before school opened. Committee members helped freshmen move into the residence halls on Labor Day. Orientation got off to an exciting start with Play- fair. J.J. Cochran of New York ar- rived on campus to offer her spe- igilll iii! Lili r. cial blend of excitement and hu- mor to the event. For two hours, she captured the attention of the audience with games, ice breakers and a time of relaxation. Students left the gym knowing that they had made new friends. On Tuesday evening, Dr. and Mrs. Jairy Hunter and the senior officers greeted freshmen at the President's Reception. Students dressed to impress, and the even- ing was an elegant addition to the week's activities. Kandy Freeman and Elizabeth Holland attended a barbeque during orientation week.
