Registration traditional initiation ceremony. In the blackness of the clearing we were alone, but as the fire broke forth it re¬ vealed the others around the circle, symbolizing the Col¬ lege Community. Though the torches in our. hands soon went out, the light that was kindled in our hearts burned on through the night and the years which followed. The spirit of Christian serv¬ ice, so much a part of the college, had burned its way deep into our lives. Registration and screening the next day was just a bit more confusing than we were led to believe by the students who had gone before. We knew we’d never forget our names after filling in all those forms. The screening program which followed found new stu¬ dents waiting to show their physical prowess as well as hearing, vision and blood tests. With these things out of the way we were ready to have our pockets cleaned at the cashier’s window and bookstore. Completely exhausted and even more broke we were ready for the first day of classes. This ear the Embers has departed from the usual practice of having the seniors in a special section. We have chosen rather to place them throughout the book. This is an attempt to help you keep in mind that the activities, classes and events of the college all have one basic goal in mind. To develop better leaders for tomorrow as well as a better life today. Here are the results of these efforts — the Senior Class of 1957.

. . .September Camp was fun Classes had already begun for the sophomores and some others on September 11 at College Camp, Lake Geneva. This was the course in outdoor education called Septem¬ ber Camp. Whether it should be called a class is probably somewhat debat¬ able but no student objects to the two points credit for the course. This is about as informal as formal education can get! Curriculum includes sessions on nature lore and nature identifica¬ tion with “Doc” Thompson of the Cook County Forest Preserve and sessions on camp crafts, camp man¬ agement, caravan camping, camp equipment and program. Gunnar Peterson directed the camp assisted by David Laughlin and Jean Bed- ger. A three day caravan trip was made visiting camps in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.
