I was just here four sides ago. Freshman Orientation Day, the first event of the school year, took place on September 5. The purpose of this day was to acquaint the new students at Regional with the various facets of school life before the upperclassmen arrived. After a twenty minute period in the homerooms, the Freshmen gathered in Halsey Hall to listen to brief speeches about activities that Regional offers. Richard Arends, Editor of REGION ALOGUE, discussed Academic and Service Clubs; Marianne Miller, President of the G.A.A., talked about girls ' sports; Elaine Bouchard, Vice-President of the Student Coun- cil, spoke of the purpose and theory of student government; Gary Falkin, Co-Editor of the Dayton News, talked about publications; Walter Diercks, spoke about boys ' sports; Mr. Palmer, head coach, discussed freshman football. Mr. La Vanture welcomed the freshmen warmly and spoke of the school ' s academic program. Roger Timpson, President of the Student Council, closed the assembly with a few words of advice to the Freshmen. After the assembly the Freshmen followed their regular schedule and spent twenty minutes in each class. Thus Freshman Orientation Day ended, marking the begin- ning of an eventful school year for the old and new students alike. And don ' t call me Big John! THE CLASS OF ' 66 IS BORN 26
