Like all freshmen, they learned to read bulletin boards, to listen for bells, to wait with varying degrees of patience at the post office doors. Two events of that year, however, made evident the leadership and enthusiasm which would mark the coming years with success. One of these was Stunt Night when, for the first time in nine years, the freshmen won second place. The second event came in the spring, the colorful plantation party. The next year was high lighted by a steak fry at Crabtree Creek, and by that memorable day when rain- drenched sophomores wound daisies and ivy into the traditional class day chain. In the junior year, the responsibilities and joys of little sisters were heightened by the fun of seeking, though not finding, the crook . Now, climaxing their record, these 1939 freshmen are a busy class of campus leaders, who after three years in a second place, have won the Stunt Night cup with their presentation of A-CUTE ANGLE and are eagerly planning and anticipating their greatest college success — graduation.
