Eagerness, frustration, weariness, and confusion showed as mixed emotions on the faces of many students as the begin- ning of a new semester rolled aro und. Freshmen arrived early to begin an orien- tation of classes and campus activities. All seemed well as they faced a new horizon in their young lives. As the envied and respected upperclass- men began to arrive, conversation turned to the academic phase of college life. Throughout the dormitories one could hear the discussions as students talked of the different professors and their assets with visions of easy class schedules and no Saturday classes. These visions seemed to vanish during registration as they stood in the middle of a packed field house with confused faces wondering what happened to their easy schedules and free Saturdays. Dejected students emerged from the rush and madness of registration shaking their heads in amazement at their professors ' uncanny ability to schedule classes at the most unreasonable hours. Their only thoughts were of the grind of the coming semester and a passing, Maybe next time. Lines. Confusion, Freshman Dance . . . Registration The arrival ol approximately 3(X) Converse girls for the Freshman dance was warmly welcomed by the Hats. 22
