All-College Picnic The smell of deliciously charred hots- the fizz of just-opened bottles of coke - the multitude of empty Dixie cups - the voices of students raised in song - the satis- fied looks on faces that possess bottomless pits instead of stomachs. No doubt about it, the annual B. S. T. C. picnic is in progress! Sponsored by the S. F. A. and held the first week of school, the event attracts an astonishing crowd. In the ample space behind the College, everyone relaxes in an informal and friendly atmos- phere that helps to promote the student- faculty companionship of which our col- lege is so justly proud. With food aplenty and a September sun shining down on games and songs, it's a great clay for Brock- portl H ome-C oming Weekend A college of time-honored traditions, Brockport is proud of those activities which symbolize her friendly spirit - and her students are ever ready to welcome a new tradition to the fold. So it was that foot- ball's advent at B. S. T. C. ushered in our first Home-Coming VVeekend. After play- ing two games away, the Colden Eagles fought their first home battle at Memorial Field with a crowd of excited, cheering spectators to urge them on. That evening the visiting team enjoyed Brockport hospi- tality as guests at an informal dance where the heat of battle was forgot ten and friend- liness prevailed. It's only a beginning, but the foundations of future home- comings have been firmly laid. Christmas Traditions Street lights through whirling snow - December chill in the Brockport air - the special atmosphere of a special season - Christmas carols pealing from the tower down College Street and across the town. And inside the college the spirit of Christ- mas spreads cheer and warmth to every student. In the main foyer, the Frosh- decorated tree - in the college theater, the annual vespers service presenting in music the story of the Nativity - in the Campus school library, the holiday spirit reflected by students and faculty together at the Christmas tea - and all through the town the voices of college students caroling thc old songs of Christmas. 1t's a happy season at Brockport State and one of the most memorable times of the school year. Formal Reception Not always arrayed in blue jeans are Brockport girls! Nor do our fellows lack for neat dark suits and ties . Really decked out in their best, the boys and girls of B. S. T. C. make a showing at the Formal Beception and demonstrate to one and all just what ladies and gentlemen we do have around here. lt's a pretty im- portant feeling to walk the length of the reception line and receive the radiance of impressive smiles. lt's valuable experience, too, for just such social activities as this help to prepare us for the reception lines of life.
