7 = nt man The season of newly acquired friendships, of rapid orientation for freshmen, of clean, bright leaves in the resolutions of upperclassmen— Fall with its hazy atmosphere introduced on the Furman campus a program of hurry-scurry activity. While lazy, torrid classrooms were yet to cause trouble, you doubtless partook of Autumn's lighter fancies . . . Rat Day— longest belt line in history, an unsuccessful rot attempt at the greased pole . . . Homecoming—floats, alumni luncheon, after the ball is over . . . Mountain Day—only a half-holiday, nearly a flop . . , Football festivities—old grads, we wanto touchdown, the old gray mare, she ain't . . . Student leaders pick sponsors—freshmen escort them . . . W. C. Rat Court—Tipper wrestles with temptation . . . K. A. rush party— seme like 'em on; some like 'em off. . . . 23

FRESHMAN CAMP . . HOW GREEN THEY LOOK Perhaps the most informal part of the school year is also one of the most important, for it is amid the fun and frolic of Fall Camp that freshmen catch the real spirit of Furman. Faculty advisors, student leaders, and enthusiastic upperclassmen, all join in creating an atmosphere mingled with play and seriousness and prevailed over by an absolute tone of sincerity. Thus, on hikes, in stunts, on picnics and in group discussions the freshmen boys at Camp Wattacoo and the girls at Caesar's Heod get their first actual introduction to the purposes, the ideals, the traditions, the curriculum, the culture, and the people which made Furman the school of their choice. 24
