Schreiner beat his tom-tom; Grove threw a fast curve; Hildreth held the bow; and the freshmen obeyed orders issued by upper classmen. Freshman rules governing school customs went into effect on September 15, and dinks, black sox and ties, and armbands followed immediately. Belligerent frosh were summoned before tribunal where paddles were wielded, and sentences pronounced. In due time the offenders appeared in classes wearing feminine gym suits, ham sandwiches , and bird cages. To present a more solid front to their more weathered peers the freshmen entered the political scramble early. President Madaffer, Vice President Albright, Secretary Bohn, Treasurer Strickler, and Congressman Utterback emerged as winners of the spoils. Two weeks of eurythmics, two of archery, two of mushball, and two of fencing put the plebes into fine shape for the annual Freshman Frolic held February 11.

FRESHMAN ORIENTATION Under the instruction of the administration, faculty, and upper classmen, approximately two hundred fifty freshmen were ori- ented into life on the California campus at the beginning of the 1938-39 term. Following the administration of various psychological, apti- tude, and I.Q. tests, the plebes were initiated into the complicated registration procedure. Advancing steadily from post to post each newcomer had his photograph taken; schedule, class cards, and general information sheets filled out; and matriculation fin- ally completed. Orientation classes were conducted to inform freshmen of persons, affairs, and facts pertinent to the development of Cali- fornia, including social functions, campus personalities, and traditions. After fifteen weeks of study a customs test was given, and those passing were eligible to take the California pledge drawn up by the Customs Committee and administered for the first time on Armistice Day. The boys doffed their dinks and received the California badge; the girls discarded their armbands and accepted the charm bracelets bearing the freshman year insignia.
