J u u Frosh F ace H azing The first weekend when all of the students had returned to the campus, the YMCA- YWCA all college sing was held on the steps of the library. This afforded a good opportunity for the returning students to see their old friends and to look over the new crop of freshmen. Shown on the right is a picture of the all college sing with Larry Weiss leading the singing. Freshmen went through a lot of hazing during their first few weeks on the campus. The first Friday after the sophomores re- turned was declared Freshman Day. That night, rather early the next morning, was the freshman run out. This put them all in great condition for the S.C.C. reception the follow- ing evening. Later came sophomore court for the select few and finally the bag rush. In the middle picture on the right are some sophomores putting some freshmen through the works. Left to right are Tom Owen, Sal Mule, John Evans tthe cap isn't his, he's a sophi, Robert Stults, and Howard King. Another event on the freshman calendar was the President's reception.
