Initiation feels a change Initiation week has become a time of fun through the years and this year was no exception. The freshmen seemed to be a little un- sure of what was in store for them be- fore initiation week, but as the time grew closer at hand, uncertainty turned to eagerness. At the Mount, initiation activi- ties started on Tuesday which was Sign Day. Wednesday found fresh- men dressed for Baby Day. Thurs- day was Geek Day which brought out a lot of creativity from the seniors. Friday was “be nice to big sister” day. Maur Hill’s initiation week started out with Sign Day on Mon- day. Tuesday was Air-raid Day, when one found the freshmen lying down more than standing. Wednes- day at Maur Hill was Toga Day. Se- niors received special treatment on Thursday, which was “Hail to Se- niors Day.” Friday was “Hail to Freshmen Day,” which is the day all Maur Hill freshmen became real Maurites. Greg Calvert, Atchison fresh- man, said “Initiation isn’t as bad as you think it is. It is fun, if you do what the seniors say. If you don’t do what they say, it’ll just make things worse and you’re gonna hate it.” Even though a lot of traditions were carried on this year, one tradi- tion that was lost was the Freshmen- Senior picnic at Jackson Park. In the past, the two classes gathered for an afternoon of mud-slinging, shaving cream fights and watermelon feed- ing. BARB O’KEEFE dances as she shows off her sign. Sign Day was quite successful this year. FRESHMEN wore many unusual cos- tumes throughout the week. Sean Pellersels shows off his big brother’s taste in accesso- ries. Photos by Heather O’Herin.

Scott Munsen expresses his seniority over the lowly freshman. Greg Pickman leads the group in the Raven Fight Song by tooting his horn. The “babies” of the school, Amy Cavanaugh, Brooke Biffinger, Anne Fischer, and Tonya Frakes sing a lullaby to the crowd. Baby day was one of the most popular days of freshmen initiation. Eating grass was among many things you could see freshmen doing during initiation week. John Forge was one of many who ac- cepted authority well. Initiation 3
