FRESHIE WEEK Looks of anxiety, trepidation, and expectation were mir- rored on the faces of the Freshie population, 1959, as they awaited the commencement of the unknown-Freshie Week. On Wednesday night, a get-acquainted reception was held at Earl Oxford Auditorium, under the capable co-comlenorship of Nona Malyon and Clark Mitchell. The 60th Anniversary theme was explained, and games, singing, cheerleader demon- stration, an interview with two typical Freshies by Bill Evans Calthough it is debatable who was more embarrass-edl as well as dancing rounded out the evening. The Seat Tests seem to have become la routine for Freshie Week and were held on Thursday and part of Friday this year. On Thursday afternoon, a Scavenger Hunt was held. This was the first opportunity for the Freshies to wear their oldafashion- ed costumes. In this field the new students went al-l out for the theme. Earl Oxiford once again played host to our activities on Thursday night. This time it was the 'Royalty Contest, and as usual -the judges were hard-pressed to pick just six from such a dis-play. Wrap them up, I'll take them all was an apt senti- ment. After considerable deliberation, Elma Massin and Brian Foster were chosen as Queen and King. Pat Breen, Cathy O'Brien, Jim Parres and George Trowell rounded out the Fresh-ie Royalty. Anne Lane and Dave Hitchins were in charge of arrangements. . The duties of t-he various boards of the Student Association were outlined -by the Board Managers during Student orienta- tion on Friday afternoon. The remainder of the afternoon- was devoted to that old-time standby of fun and games known as Outdoor Sports . Freshman students rollicked through numer- ous feats such as football and relays, and were finally led to the mud pit , where the advantages of good costumes and re- tiring personalities were clearly evident, although even these weapons were not infallible. Those lh'eshies not in wet cos- tumes and bad tempers were allowed -to complete the afternoon doing odd jobs and pleasant little tasks for the seniors. Friday evening took the 'form of a Pep -Rally under the direction of George Peary. After singing and performing for the seniors, the Freshies were only 'too anxious to trot around with hot dogs and drinks, or to carry the seniors over to the stadium where a dance was held under the lights on the lawn -a very enjoyable innovation. 'llhe day of the big parade dawned in that all too familiar B.C. Freshie Week manner, but the threat of rain was not carried out. Penny Smith and Gary Prior kept their Freshie committees, as well as the ibuyer, Pat Stanley, on the run. The the-me of the 60th Anniversary of Brandon College was carried through, even to the acquisition of old cars for 'the occasion. The many anxious hours of planning and preparation paid off in one of the best parades ever produced by the college. Wearily the Frosh gathered in the Chapel to be sworn in as official members of the B.C.lS.A. Apples were thrown by Dr. Perdue, and all the new studen-ts eagerly posed for the Brandon Sun photos, which proved to be somewhat of a dis- appointment as they were greeted by buckets of cold water from above. The Frosh Frolic brought a fitting end to an exhausting round of activities for bobh Freshies and Seniors. We hope the Freshie Week served' its purpose of introducing the new stu- dents to College life, and congratulate them on their fine spirit and active participation shown throughout the week.

ad One hundred and twenty .,... .-,. 5 . FROSH FROLIC The annual Frosh Frolic, held on Saturday, September 19, in the Composite High School Auditorium, climaxed a week of tumultuous activity for our Ftreshie crop. It offered them the first chance to discard their oldafashioned finery and return to the twentieth century. A reception line consisting of the Senior Stick, Bob Melving -the Lady Stick, Regina Armstrongg the Dean of Women, Mrs. Cowang the Residence Master, Jack Fotheringham, and the chaperones for the evening, Dr. and Mrs. Perdue, and Mr. and Mrs. D. R. MacKay, greeted the large and enthusiastic crowd. The gala event was begun with the tra- ditional Blue and Gold March , led by Dr. and Mrs. Perdue. This was followed by the solemn but impressive coronation of the Freshie Royalty, Elma Massin and Brian Fos- ter, by our acting President, Dr. Perdue. Danc- ing then continued to the varied and enjoyable music -provided by the Brandon Syncopators. The proud possessors the lucky tickets-Gary Martin and Jean Yeo-:had the honor of d-anc- ing with the Freshie monarchs. Lunch was served at 10 p.m. and was im- mediately followed by the long awaited, much anticipated, trial of several deserving Frosh. We were at once transported to the Roman Empire and the court of the notorious Nero, who confronted the barbarian Frosh with their offences and sentenced them to punishment fitting to their -rank and behaviour. The festive mood of the evening was en- hanced by the carousel-like decor of the Audi- torium. Thanks go to Myra Johnston and crew for their time and effort. An innovation of the evening was the mys- terious Osculator machine. I'm sure anyone taking the test was fully rewarded by the results. The evening was concluded in the traditional manner with Hail Our College and the vari- ous class yells, not to mention the destruction of streamers. I would like to thank my co-cornvenor, Merv Letts, who so capably acted as master -of cere- monies and who literally kept 'the show on the road. ' Merv joins me in thanking all our helpers who contributed so much to the success of the evening. A special mention must be given to the Sigma Mu, and to Anne Lane amd Dave Hitchins, who were responsible for the Cor- onation and Trial, respectively. We also ex- tend our -thanks to our chaperones and pat- rons, Mr. and M-rs. MacKay and Dr. and Mrs. Perdue fo-r their kind co-operation. Janet Mooney '61
