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

New Students Above: During the first days of school the gymnasium hums with the activities of registration. Everything from matriculation to the completed registration is carried on here, with time out for a trip to the business office. First days found 'many bewildered freshmen wondering over the many intricacies of registra- tion, for after a lengthy session with a newly- assigned adviser, each student was given a com- plicated two-foot card to fill out properly. Sur- prising indeed were the answers. Many cards revealed the date of the students, birth as 1941. After a day of unpacking and registering, newcomers welcomed the relaxation of the Y umixersv at Bellevue House. Here one could meet new students and old friends as he entered into the evening's fun. Everything from shuffle- board and 'KBingo', to dancing was under joint YM-YW sponsorship.
