We reform others unconsciously ' h Ik hti wnen we walk uprig Bryce Canyon has become the accepted meeting place for the pre-school Conference of Student Leaders. The inspiration of talks and doing given at Leadership Conferences by Student Advisers and Leaders, set a pattern for others to follow, for people seldom improve when they have no model. The first great gift which leaders bestow on others is a good example, and no one in an organization is so insignificant as to be sure his example dees not do harm. These are the things that are impressed upon those who attend Leadership Conference. There is a lighter side to the meeting, in provided entertainments, scenic walks to famous spots, and opportunity to form happy and lasting friendships.

brash ( )rici}tnUon (U]d AcUviiws Build Frcshnum Spirit A disturbing, fascinating new world opens up for frosh students entering college. Confused, friendly, eager to learn, they wander around campus, mislaying build- ings, books and bicycles. With the help of the pre- school exercises, talks by Administration and Faculty members, they become orientated by the time school starts. But the condensation of so much newness in such a relatively short time leaves some things for- gotten, and the frosh is apt to find himself in the wrong room or class or going in the wrong direction. There always seems to be, however, the friendly smile or helping hand nearby. Freshmen enter the life of the University early, electing their own representatives and pursuing electioneering practices with all the energy and spirit of seasoned campaigners. Dances, football, skiing events, and other recognition of their status, brings to the Freshmen something of the pride of place in a special group. Their initiation into the Y, their wear- ing of distinctive blue and white beanies, and eccentri- cities of dress, establish in the mind of the frosh, the sense of belonging. From then on he is a Y student, fill- ed with an indefinable pride in his school, and the ideals and purposes it stands for. So the Frosh comes to college, where he will grow in stature, in maturity and character to take his place in the affairs of men and the outside world. What! Go back again? V e ' ve just come from there. Reflecting happiness across to others at Frosh Assembly. Something unexpected turned up as Frosh trip their own heels, and, (below) Freshmen take the first steps toward a future.
