Registration over, the rest of Welcome Week was full of activities, especially de- signed for the freshmen. The annual fall mixer was held under the canopy in front of the Administration Building. Tim Berquist was master of ceremonies for the evening's activities. A humorous reading and musical numbers provided entertainment along with various contests such as the best song leader and the annual get acquainted by signatures. Refreshments were served fol- lowing the contests. The bonfire service added the spiritual touch to the week's events as Dean Williams spoke a message of inspiration to the students, in the darkness. Freshman initiation followed with co- chairman Pat Buntenbach and Bob LeMon in charge of the three days of freshma-n hazing. Weird looking creatures, easily recognized as frosh, walked the halls of E.C. doing various stunts to entertain the whims of their upper- classmen. The Alma Mater rang out periodically through the day. Sold as slaves on Saturday morning, the freshmen faithfully served their masters until they were summoned to their final doom that evening in the form of a Kangaroo Court. Kay Bowen and Fred Carlson, chosen by their class, were crowned queen and king to reign over the affairs that marked the end of another freshman initiation. Oh boy! Only one more day of this! 30 ORIENTATION Evangel College opened her doors September 5, and over 500 students entered into her maze of halls. The first activity was registration on September 6 and 7. Both underclassmen and upperclassmen patiently waited in the bulging lines to register for their courses. The faculty was on hand to advise and counsel as the stu- dents filled in the blanks of the seemingly endless yellow cards. After completing this procedure, they progressed to the calculating line which marked the final step in registration. Toward the end of the day, that class is closedl became a familiar phrase to many disappoi-nted stu- dents, forcing them to revise their schedules. Freshmen experience their first frustrating day of registration. Anyone for an egg shampoo? J
