Whether students returned to Manchester after a summer vacation or entered its portals for the first time, it was a breath-taking moment that autumn day when they first stepped on the campus and made their way to a new home. In the dorm, living with a warm friendly group, students found comfort, good neighbors and activities ranging from bull-sessions to all- dorm parties. Of all the people with whom the collegians lived probably none were more close and in- timate than their roommates. Roommates shar- ed their clothes and books, likes and dislikes, trials and triumphs. Friendships formed in this manner often lasted a lifetime. four

For the frosh the memory of those first few days at Ma nchester must remain as a misty whirl of scheduled tests, lectures and planned social events, climaxed by the faculty reception. The especially pre- pared Freshmen Days program did ease the strain, however, and the excitement of entering upon the college experience, along with the wealth of new friends met, compensated for the anxiety. During the trials of registration even the upperclassmen got caught in the snarl of forms and paperwork. Lines sometimes longer than those at the Oaks, and questions comparable to some of the roughest tests, live as vivid memories of the beginning of each term and made the beginning of classes almost a relief. five
