TO MAKE A HOME away from home, it takes a heap of mov- ing and the willing help of roommates, parents, and friends. Lines became longer, tempers grew shorter, and registration by mail still seemed easiest Registration opened a new book, a book fresh off the press whose stiflp back and chnging pages still hid the story inside. Infinite possibilities awaited our action if only we could learn to manage them soon enough. Past experience had taught most of us to avoid the tedious mechanics and confusion of registration by registering by mail. But if new, we were forced to submit to waiting in lines, filling out cards, and posing for ID photos. Finally, we were free to get acquainted. We were anxious to start. MASTER CARDS, ID photos, and class schedules are only a part of the mass confusion and bewilderment that greets new students during registration. SMILE because ID photos ore for four years . . . but it will never look this well. 18

Fall Autumn winds drowned out the chorus of summer crickets, but a warm sun reigned over much of the season. Unexpected rain showers pop-quizzed our umbrellas for a couple of weeks, and the first feath- ers of snow tickled our noses in mid-October. But most of the time the sun smiled on us as we scur- ried between classes during the week or twisted in our seats on Saturday afternoon to see who had the football. Oaks and maples burst into red and yellow flames; brown leaves crunched beneath our feet like a kid-brother ' s breakfast cereal. Smoke from bonfires drifted through the crisp air and beckoned us to late- season picnics. Winter waited in the offing, but In- dian Summer laughed and flirted with our spirits. FALL SHADOWS mark a frequently unnoticed side of Pearson Hall. FALL LEAVES crunched beneath our feet . . . winter waited in the ofFing. FLORAL GARDENS shed their flowers for the last time. They will be moved to make way for the new plant sciences building. 17
