Orientation Week Familiarizes Students With Campus Life A long day and a long speech They came eager to join the college campus crowd; they saw life as it would be for the next four years; they conquered the indecision of the swift change from high-school. guardianship to college liberality. Loyola beckoned them and once they arrived, fresh- men became during orientation the proteges and the pride of the older and, in some ways, wiser upperclass- men. From the quadrangle to the library and from there to the sock hop they all went, perhaps shy, but always expectant. But Hell Week came and upperclassmen found their pride in the new class cast by the wayside, their orien- tation spirit dead. Then Hurricane Hilda arrived and made shambles of Jambalaya. So in the year of Our Lord 1964 frosh started on their path uninitiated. 22

It Is Hereby Recorded Loyola students were fortunate that they only read about the destruction that Hurricane Hjlda wrought Cadet Lt. Colonel Bob Perez assists Little Colonel Carol LeFevre A university yearbook is but a reflection of the past year, so it is hereby recorded that during this school year Gerald ' s was the place to go, the monkey the thing to do, and Barbara Striesand ' s People the song to listen to. From every nook and cranny came heated discussions on the presidential campaign with quips from A Texan Looks at Lyndon and Conscience of a Conservative thrown in for spice. With the death of Ian Fleming, James Bond fans shed a tear and many a bet went down the drain as the Cards overpowered the Yanks in the World Series. Parkas were the thing to wear on the male side of the ledger, with the topless bathing suit a Parisian must for the women . . . who dared. Hurricane Hilda hit the Louisiana coast leaving destruction and no Jambalaya behind, and Loyola ' s team brought home many a win and many a money from the General Electric College Bowl. Hell Week was a sorrowful disappointment; McGoey was king of the Pumpkin Bowl; Loyola started its soccer team; the school of pharmacy closed; mid-day broadcasts came over the PA system, and the Intensely Vigorous College Players presented Night of the Hedgehog or Life in a Treacle Well. Peanuts continued to dominate comic strip readers, the Man from U.N.C.L.E. enlivened the TV screen and spy thrillers came helter-skelter in movie theaters. The United States dominated the Tokyo Olympics, and the travel-worn returned home from the New York ' s World Fair with mementos of Michaelangelo ' s Pieta. This was the year that Khrushchev was ousted, that the Black Pope died after an 18 year reign and that China exploded a nuclear weapon. The year was leap year. The facts are recorded. Posterity shall remember 1964-65. 21
