The hrst duty of a Junior Sister is to see that her charges attend the parties that are given each night of Freshman Week. At seven oaclock the youngest ones were carried Off to Bennett $360,, Hall for a dose of college spirit. There, among the Juniors, the City Girls and whatever upper classmen had come early on the scene, the new students were made to feel a part of the college. There was cut- dancing to tunes of a nickelodeon barely audible above the shouts of greetingethe loud tghellosh 0f long-lost f riends.
