Freshmen welcomed as Dons continue initiation tradition Over 900 frightened, eager freshmen crowded into the auditorium Sep- tember 7 to be welcomed by the ad- ministration, faculty and student body officers. After the traditional orientation 'T 1 speeches, the new Dons were informed of the Howdy Week rules and activi- ties. Howdy Cards were to be worn conspicuously at all times, senior signatures were to be collected and senior demands were to be met by all the baby Dons. The rest of the week freshmen were found pushing pennies with their noses, being dumped in garbage cans and singing the school fight song at the request of the sometimes benevolent seniors. Friday night the Maule Family Un- limited provided the music for the annual Howdy Hop. Further enter- tainment was provided by Jane Merri- field, senior. As the lights in the gym- nasium were raised at ll p.m. signal- ing the end of the dance, the freshmen headed home knowing that they were now offically recognized as Coronado Dons and that the formal hazing was over but the informal hadn't begun.
