freshman Class THE sv arm of freshmen who appeared on the campus last Octc her caused the upperclassmen to gaze in open- eyed surprise, e cr ha l there been such a large influx. There were tall ones and small ones, oungsters an l some not so x ' oung. Some were sh - and some were not — alike were all in one thing alone; the - were sons of George- town — li e Hundred strong. And each now became enriched with a hun- dred and fifty-sexen ears of outstanding tradition, heralded in the tall spires of Healy and the colonial approaches of Old North. Yet suddenly back to 194b, when told his room could be found high on the fourth floor of that Flemish structure, whose tower, da - and night, boomed out the hour with uncannx precision. With a roommate, each man climbed the long winding staircases; and a battery of crossfire began — What ' s c)ur name? , Where are you from! ' .Are sou a xeteran What branch .And so on until they reached the roof top of Healy. .A quick glimpse at door numbers, the disco er - of an assigned room, a Hop on the beds, and a panting climax — Well, we re here! Drama such as this was being enacted that first night in every campus dormitory. It was a comedy of errors; but of it, many a serious and lasting friendship was born.

jfrosti i azing ' WT a matter of tradition each in- F coming freshmen class of George- y Bl town is put through a rigid test prescribed as a routine of restrictions through- out a definite week. A committee for the actixities is organized by the Sophomore Class. Distinguishing attire was prescribed for all freshmen taking part. It consisted of wearing large name plates worn in bill-board fashion, the rolling up of the right pants leg, the sub- stitution of a rope for a belt, and last but not least, the wearing of a blue and gray freshmen cap. The first night of hazing consisted of ' ari- ous stunts and contests performed before Copley Hall h the freshmen under the super- vision of the sophomores. An incident which added to the friendly raillery of the class was the photographing of chosen individuals for the HoYA as the Typical freshmen of the class. ' ■ They posed in front of Copley in a very conventional costume and were promptly doused bv buckets of water con -eniently released from above. Some of the main and most important aspects of the celebrated week consisted in the pur- pose of freshmen getting acquainted with the campus, with classmates and with upper- classmen. The entire week was climaxed by a tea dance gi -en for the freshmen by the senior class. 75
