When some two hundred students descend on the campus . . . to shatter the tranquility which has lasted since the close of school . . . T Offices come alive with students registering for courses . . . Paying bills . . Meeting their Advisor . . . I j Student leaders get helpful hints from visiting counselors on how to make the freshman feel at home . . . The new students get their first taste of what is to follow during the next nine months . J The bookstore does big business in books and other supplies . . . Freshman stage their big talent show before a very critical audience of Upperclassmen Always on hand are members of the Personnel Department to lend a hand to the still somewhat bewildered new students . . . Roommate meets roommate And in the weeks that follow, many other meetings take place . . . Faculty meet students And in the classroom students meet teacher New friendships are formed . . . Others may not be so casual . . . September turns to October, and soon things become routine, but there ' s always the spice of numerous events and activities to make life interesting and constantly busy . . , Founders Day . . The white breakfast at Thanksgiving time Daily chapel is another of these memories to carry away . . . And after chapel, onto the next class . . . I. And so it goes, winter to spring . Study sessions in the library . Little Theatre Productions . . . r k s ■ J 1 JHL Sx t tir— daft ' ■JmES mt ' m ■ For some June meant departing It was a year filled with many pleasant experiences, many interesting and likeable people — the Bennett family — people we ' ll never forget.

Composed of representatives from the junior class the staff has attempted to do its best in spite of the many hours of hard work spent in preparation, and the anticipations and the unexpected dif- ficulties that seemed to arise. It is the hope of all members that this record will prove to be a constant reminder of the 1961-1962 year spent at Bennett College. Jean Franklin - Editor Yearbook Stall - Elena Chapman, LaForrest Williams, Betty Jo Murphy and Sylvia Fish. Mae Young - Photography Bonita Davis - Business Manager ±M Just Scenes ' Editors Note Perhaps the four years an individual spends in college are the most cherished and impressive years of his life. Realizing this, the Yearbook Staff has tried to capture some of the outstanding events of the year and immortalize them in the yearbook. However, in a larger sense, it is difficult-even impossible-to preserve many of the memorable events of the years because they are intangible. The sisterly atmos- phere which permeated the campus during freshman week, the subtle atmosphere or anxiety which hovered over the campus during the final exams, and many of the phil- osophically unsound and logically weak confabs of the dormitory summits are mere examples of college life which successfully eluded the photographer ' s camera. Never- theless, we have managed to capture a small sample of the events destined to remain with us forever. As editor of the Bennett College Yearbook, I have experienced the psychological and sociological successes and failures which must inevitably be the lot of one who would assume and execute a delegated responsibility. It is my sincere hope that this first edition of the Bennett College Yearbook will serve as an index to the earnestness with which I have attempted to execute this responsibility. To our predecessors, contemporaries, and posterity, we dedicate this edition of the Bennett College Yearbook. It is our sincere hope that the efforts which are made manifest in this book will serve as a source of dedication, inspiration and aspiration to our readers. Jean M.
