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. The Union was open afterwards with free music for dancing. Bottom right picture: some fresh- men in the Union dancing after the reception. 1 wX 4644 , On Freshman Day the freshmen dressed in appropriate costumes and carried candy and gum of rather dubious quality for the upperclassmen. They had to know the Wooster traditions and songs. Singing the Love Song on the rock are: B. Underwood, W. Lehr, S. Myler, R. Smith, and S. Miller. 23

Brennan, x'18. and Robert D. Logee, x'19, presented the portrait to the college. The portrait now hangs above the trophy case in the entrance to the gym. The trophies awarded for the best decorated dorms went to Behoteguy for the men and to Scot Cottage, sophomore women's dorm. A Denison Indian sprawled on the rocks in front of Behote- guy, while a pile of dry bones chalked up past Wooster victories. Scot girls said, Noah will you find a warmer welcome. Alums found it couldn't be wetter. either. but no damper was put on spirits, when typical Wooster weather turned tot sunshine at noon.
