Frosh Vlfeek Activities New talent, shoe-shine kits, kitten whiskers, the trek to the ' T and no dates initiated the Frosh. Frosh Week, which began Oct. 1, was designed to build spirit within the Freshman class. Frosh wore traditional beanies, blue and white socks and catered to whims of the upper- classmen by shining shoes and singing school songs for them. Rules were laid down by the senior class. In addition to the initiation, however, the class made the annual trek up Y Mountain for a fall clean-up of the huge emblem, presented a Thursday assembly and lived it up at a mid-week mat dance. The Mountain Lure dance at week ' s end was pre- sented by the studentbody to welcome the Freshman class into the growing Brigham Young University family. n J ' HILARITY AND FUN were the order of the day on the Frosh Assembly as is evidenced by Sloan Hales and Bob Ward (left). Moving off the main trail proves too much for tired Froshie as two stragglers move to- wards Y (above).

Fall Registration and Hello Vlfeek Enrollment rose ten per cent over previous year as it hiked to nine thousand mark. Hi became the word to everyone as teachers and students ended Hello Week with assembly hour. Two days of registration, Sept. 26 and 27, saw more than 8,600 students file through the streamlined system, with another 400 completing their signup later. Final tabula- tions brought the total to a record-breaking 9,000, a 10 per cent increase over 1956. The streamlining of pro- cedure by Bliss Crandall, dean of admission, allowed students to complete the often-tedious task in record time. An hour and a half seemed to be average registra- tion time. Students then passed out of the registration lines into the traditional Hello Week friendliness. Themed Hi-ways To Happiness the week stressed sociability and urged all students to make new friends on campus by saying Hi to those they met in the course of a day. Highlight of the week was the spectacu- lar annual Welcome Back Assembly in which students sat in state groups, loudly and energetically proclaiming their geographical loyalties with cheers and state songs. Other activities during week included two Hello Week mat dances, a Friday evening assembly and a Hello Week dance Saturday night. Dance was held in three large halls. 00% ,
