FRESHMEN OFF GUARD After the first plunge into the new life at Framingham, it isn't difficult to swing into the routine of work and play. Thus we catch the freshies about campus, sometimes serious, sometimes gay-but always en- joying life to the fullest as only a freshman can. We see them re-decorating the Mart-a task which-they enjoyed doing as much as we appreciated having it done. They pop into the Mart between classes to buy stationery for those important morale- boosting letters, or a stuffed animal to add to the menagerie so dear to their hearts. A pause at the coke machine is enjoyed by all during those ten-minute intervals be- tween classes. We often find them three deep around it, snatching a moment of re- laxation before steaming upstairs to geog- raphy. All is not fun and frolic, however, for it is no uncommon sight to see the freshmen hard at work on their books. Who knows perhaps there is a chem exam in the offing? Weekends, the girls find many diver- sions-moments of song, as a group gathers about the piano in Peirce after dinner, bicycle trips, either errands to South Fram, or just riding on some of the lovely roads around the Center, or perhaps a bit of fun with Sir Austen Green -does it take all those girls to move that little car? A final note about the freshmen- photographic evidence proves that they take their books with them when they go home for the weekend!

SOPHO The end of the sophomore year marlcs the halfway point in college days. College is, by then, an integral part in the lives of the girls. They have now had a definite place in the school year with the May Day festival, their first really major undertalcing. From here they loolc forward to all experi- ences: scholastic, social, and religious, which are so important to life here on the hill-chapels and assemblies, midyears ancl finals, Junior Week-end and .lunior Prom, and finally lnvestiture and Senior Prom, experiences which together form the essence of Framingham.
