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.

Rc(jislraiiot}: in chosci] liclds () Icdininii Mysterious packets filled with cards, class cards, class schedules, pencils, forms to be filled in, forms to be handed in, signa- tures to be obtained, traffic clearances, housing clearances, activity cards, lost and found, turnstiles to go in, turnstiles to go out, fees to be paid; these, together with renewals of happy friendships, are all part and parcel of the business of regis- tration. After trudging wearily around the track, students seek the helpful assistance of faculty and staff and wind their way through the converging lines to emerge, like moths from a cocoon, from the Field- house, triumphant and registered, ready, if not eager, to pursue their studies in the profession they hove chosen. Consultation with advisors is im- portant when schedules have to be changed. And, (far right) friends show helpful interest, too. Nothing worth while was ever achieved that was not the result of patient working and waiting. The first line-up, outside the Fieldhouse, and (right) skilled assistance in form- filling.
