DEATH OF FRESHMAN INITIATION Friday, October 6, 1951, marked the death of Freshman Initiation. Previous to this year the initiation was an affair in which much energy was expended by both Sophomores and Freshmen. All Freshmen came to school with their clothes on inside out and backwards. The boys were required to wear pincurls in their hair, while the girls donned thirteen braids in their once curly locks. Late in the afternoon they would dress in costume and pa- rade in the auditorium. Many of them entered in contests and races. During the day they were hoaxed by their superiors. All had lipstick-smeared faces. This year the only action was the hoaxing of a few Freshmen. The main feature was a talent show in which only a few of them participated. It was ob- vious to all that the Freshman Initiation has truly met its death.
