The Class of nineteen hundred and fifty-one came to Elmhurst College to begin their col- lege career with a bang. Thev showed the faculty and upperclassmen that thev meant business and they did not waste any time in proving it. When presented with the task of producing the annual Freshman mixer, they definitely showed themselves to the best ad- vantage. They discovered too, that college was not all seriousness, and soon they took upon them- selves to obtain, with the help of their older friends, as much as possible out of the social life which Elmhurst College has to offer. Officers yvere not elected until the second semester, which caused the class to be slowed down considerably in their group contribution to the school. The big job facing the Frosh was the pro- duction of the Freshman Hop. which was given shortly after the Spring vacation in March. Having spent one year getting acquainted with college life, the Class of ' 51 is ready, willing, and capable of assuming their future responsibilities at Elmhurst College. The Class of 51 A duel by MerriLyn Hartmann and Gene Kuehl climaxes the freshman mixer.
