What are they? Well, look again. Sure; they’re freshmen, just getting their first taste of college life. They don ' t all look very happy, do they? Of course, they don ' t look quite right —wearing clothes backwards, ties with T-shirts, an odd style of makeup, stringy heir, and gunny sacks. No. we can ' t blame them for their sad ex¬ pressions, for besides the above mentioned items, there were such activities as midnight and early morning hikes by the freshmen boys, scavenger hunts—for things such as Gingko leaves, geese, and turkeys, and other things that are just as well not mentioned. Initiation week was an ordeal, but it wasn ' t too bad, and it was concluded with dances and happy times in the dorms.

THE MA v- 4 VWi 1 It ' s registration lime! The freshmen have ar¬ rived, the upperclassmen have returned and CWCE is ready to roll for another year. Ready to roll, that is. if the more than I 100 students can make it through the registration lines. Opening assemblies, conferences with ad¬ visers, lines in the library, lines in the business office, lines in the post office—these were all part of the fun and excitement of beginning a new year at college. From the first assembly on Monday morning until the beginning of classes on Thursday, the days were filled with activity, getting acquainted and re-acquainted, moving into dorms, and getting rid of that hard- earned money on fees, books, and everything else you didn ' t think you ' d need. Yes, it ' s fun, but we ' re glad it doesn ' t come very often. fitted X.

OBAN THOMPSON S.O.A- PfMl l««t Stf f ‘President This year hat brought many innovation in SGA to Central. Our constitution has been re¬ vised and amended to advantage. The creation of the Student-Faculty Coordination and Plan¬ ning Board should bridge the gap that has existed between students and administration on student affairs. The loophole which had made our living group representatives to the Council illegal has been eliminated and the addition of the North Hall representative has given equal representation to all. I hope our program of student rates and constitutional reform can be completed next year. This has been a controversial year but one. we hope, that has strengthened student government at Central. Dean Thompson. President, Student Government Association Student WS PxedcdcKt The Associated Women Students appreciate the time spent and work done by the Hyakem editor and staff in forming this book of mem¬ ories for 1952-53. The pictures and notes will recall to all students this active and profit¬ able year at Sweecy. Appreciation is also due all the students and faculty members who helped make our organi¬ zation ' s activities successful. We hope that these activities have added to your enjoyment of the school year, as they have added to mine and those of the AWS council. Rosaleen O ' Callaghan President, Associated Women Students 20
