First Days Appraising new freshmen and talking over the experiences of the summer with old friends were among the favorite pastimes of upperclass- men during their spare moments of registration week. Warm weather and bright sunshine brought groups of students to congregate on the green lawn in front of Ringland Hall. Those who were wise registered in the early morning, leaving time later in the day for visiting with the faculty and old friends, or for mak- ing new acquaintances. Those who waited until the late afternoon to register found the heat and burden of filling out forms a bit tedious. Friendships are Renewed at Registration Time 16

To Miss Carpenter The influence of a wise woman threads the pages of this book as it threads the lives of a dozen generations of Hastings College students. To Miss Janet Carpenter the Junior Class dedicates the Bronco of 1942. During 50 of its 60 years of life Hastings College has known the presence of a small woman whose lips seem always to curve upward in a friendly smile and whose classes are more than mere instruction in English. Disdainful of static personality, she has kept ever abreast or ahead of current thinking, she has earned and held the re- spect of those about her. Miss Carpenter's kindly concern for all whom she knows, her serenity of spirit, her half- laughing mockery of complacency, her rare sense of humor, her ideals, and her striving for perfec- tion-yet her tolerance toward those failing to achieve that high goal-these characteristics weave the pattern each Hastings College student is proud to follow.
