Flather than the usual formal evening, the wo- men planned a night of fun and get- acquainted activities. The Fall ln theme was carried out with various types of amusements which kept everyone busy. Some of the numer- ous booths were the flower shop, the par three golf and the moon walk. Also add- ing to the festivities were bubble blowing and tug-of-war contests between the stu- dents and the faculty members. The tedious preparation by the B.L.A., led by Mrs. Vivian Felix, proved to be worthwhile in fulfilling the purpose of the evening. The new idea of informal activities provided a great opportunity for students and faculty to intermingle outside the normal academic atmosphere. 15

Orientation, the freshman's opportu- nity to register for classes, took place the two weekends before school began. Dur- ing this time, they also enjoyed some fellowship with their new classmates and saw the campus. As the first weeks of college life started, the fresh men were welcomed to Bethel through initiation. This event followed the theme Mary had a little lamb. The new froshies dressed as lambs with cotton tails, large name signs and the traditional Bethel beanie. Sometimes they were requested to sing their theme song. This frequently happened at meals making nice back- ground music for the upperclassmen and the cooks. Judgment day came on the second and final day of initiation. The good sheep were sent through the shearing house and the bad sheep went to the slaughter house for punishment. The really bad sheep were hurled into the helm first and then sent to their doom.
