The freshmen were requested to wear old clothes; some of the girls wore old fashioned dresses and others wore short dresses they had long ago. The boys wore torn and patched overalls and knee pants. After dinner, snapshots were taken of the freshmen, and they walked around town, accompanied by some sophomores. When they got on Main Street, the freshmen had to go up on the bandstand and entertain the townspeople with a couple of songs.
