JEAN FRANKLIN, President In September, l958, a new Freshman class enrolled at Coker. After being entertained by old Cockernuts for four days, these Freshmen settled down to learn the meanings of countless Coker terms-Civ., demerits, mass meetings, required functions. Getting acquainted with Coker involved many new experiences for these new students. They had fun dis- guising themselves at the hobo party, going swimming in their pajamas at initiation, practicing for the song contest, and Calas! D losing all their hockey games. They proved themselves to be imaginative individuals when they decorated Richardson Porch with giant contemporary Christmas cards. With the help of Mrs. C. A. Sisson, their class spon- sor, they made Christmas package tags for their first class project. Their other projects, letters which an- nounced coming holiday visits to their parents and date applications, were successful and surprising. Get- ting demerits, having all-night parties, being on open restriction-these, too, figured into their activities. As their lirst college year drew to a close, the most important phase of their education had become a part of each of them. Character, Culture, and Christian Service had become more than words on a Coker em- blem, these guiding principles of life at Coker had become real goals for the members of the new class. f 1 'sf BONNIE MURRAY, Secretary- Treasurer By May, 1959, these Freshmen had put away the scared rat feeling, they had become an integral part of Coker College.
