Peirce Ellen I, Peterson Samuel Wilhelm Lottie Wingard After registering, meeting new faculty members, and renewing acquaint- anceships with former instructors, we all felt a desire to sec them behind their lecture stands. We knew that sooner or later we would become listless in class and anxious for vacations, and we knew it would be difficult for our instructors to keep us interested at these times: but we felt that deep in their hearts, our faculty knew that topping our ill-prepared assignments, late term papers, and stiffled yawns in class, was a true appreciation of their interest in us as indi- viduals, their willingness to devote time in solving our problems, their friendly smiles, and spirit of cooperation and comradeship.

The Freshmen! Initiation Week I . . . We upperclassmen never knew what we might find next — an Indian in war paint, a bride and groom, or a group of green freshmen who had forgotten what to wear for class. After the freshmen had been on the campus a semester, they had some rather definite ideas which they expressed in the following letter: Dear Upperclassmen : That was not really an unknown plague that descended upon you and the college as a whole on September 24, 1941. It was only we insignificant freshmen — insignificant in name, but not in deed or action, as you soon found to your great regret. One activity we nearly strained our brains in planning was the Freshman Carnival or Freshman Frolic. The event depended on the actions of the heavens; but as the committees and the week-end weather could not get together it was with regret that the idea was shelved for another year. The members of the freshman class are ingenious and have shown much talent. A small evidence of this is a fragment of a poem, entitled, Ode to the Freshmen, written by Ruth Slater, one of our members; Sometimes dull and very dry Are histories of the classes (Please, dear Reader, do not sight: Just let me don my glasses, ) And so you ' ll find, if you don ' t mind, The history of the Freshmen ; Of pranks and jests, and Entrance Tests — We all recall that session. In ' 41 we entered here As timid as a herd of deer. Still pea-green we bore the pranks Of those of higher class and ranks. Of dances, teas, and games and stuff. We Freshmen couldn ' t get enough! This expresses more than could be written here in many more words, so until 1942 we remain. Sincerely, THE FRESHMEN
