WE WATCH for it . . . and every year we see it come true as before . . . our ivy-clad halls undergoing a revitalization. The bright green colors return to the campus and slowly make their Iascent upon walls which winter chills have long since bared. We watCh 1t well and we see that each leaf is turned upward . . . that each new shoot places itself on a higher level than the ones before. , The ivy is the symbol of new growth, the constant replacement of the old by the new. Each year the senior is replaced by the young freshman . . . Fst beginning the long trek towards the top. In him is the Wooster of the uture. And thus, as you turn the pages of this section, you will see the young Wooster . . . the Wooster as seen by the freshmen.

.' , s, itWell, how do you like it? Where-are you going to live? You say youire from Rochester, New York? How far is that?ii Its quite a busy day, this first day of Freshman Week. J ohn Roncone and Neil F rick talk it over as Dave Custis gets his first look at Douglass Lounge. One of the first items on the agenda for the incom- ing frosh is his meeting with his advisor, where he gets at least an idea of what to take, where to go and who to see. Ned Martin, Carlos Ledee, Peg, McClelland, Bruce Reeves, Dave Goldsmith, Lou Ann Unzicker, and Clifford Elliott are getting their schedules straightened out. NEW FACES, NEW SPIRIT, NEW PROBLEMS Enesumnn unss OF 290 nescenns on scars The big day finally came. Cars pulled in, trunks were hauled out, room trimmings bought, and introductions made. Then the parents departed, and all of a sudden, the freshmen were part of the Wooster student body. The college called all incoming freshmen and transfer students to school about five days before the arrival of the upperclassmen. Durlng this time, they were introduced to the college,given various tests, and allowed to get acquainted with each other and the new surroundings. On Saturday morning came reglstration and book buying. BV Saturdav afternoon, the book store was so crowded that it was practically impossible to make any purchases. But the job was done in time. On Sunday, Dr. Lowry gave his invocation address to the whole student body. Then, w1th an interval of disagreeable tests on Monday, the real business of the hill began on Tuesday. After the first few days the as- mgnments began to pile up, and the fresh were alarmed to learn that two hours of preparation were expected for everv classroom hour. This was quite a place! .
