Let us tell you about the people. Sit on the library steps, take a long drag on your cigarette and watch. Shuffling slowly up slant-walk is a tall, broad-shouldered athlete with rusty hair and a warm smile that welcomes friends. Behind him comes a group of laughing girls clad in Oxford gray Bermudas and white knee sox. Nearby, a couple sits talking quietly about yesterday's test and tomorrow's baseball game. . . Let us tell you about the activities. At nearly every hour of the day some group is meeting to discuss a new novel, paint a backdrop, plan a record party for the actives, or swim twenty lengths to warm up. Meeting with members of the faculty, students bind themselves close to the school. In addition to providing a welcome relief from the books, these groups promote new friendships through a bond of common in- terest. . . Let us tell you about the athletics. In the season of crunchy leaves, swarms of students migrate to the stadium, and in early December, Withrow Court vibrates with cheers of basketball fans. When spring arrives, courtmen, thinclads, and hardball hurlers divide the spotlight. Not only organized sports are followed with interest, but on any warm day the crack of wood against leather or the call your serve' echos across the grass. . . Let us tell you about the social life. From early autumn till the Beta Bells ring out another graduation, tuxes and fluffy rainbow-form- als paint the unforgetable picture of dances. Big weekends for Dadls Day, May Day, lVIother's Day, Spring Carnival and the Tug of War hold excitement for the campus. That TGIF card opens the door to afternoons of close harmony with classmates. We have dates for the flick', or the Artist Series. . . Let us tell you about the Greek organizations. The outburst of rushing is followed by the thrill of pledging. Close on the heels of this, duties and close fellowship come hand in hand to track down the final glory of initiation. With an active pin over our hearts, we begin to fully benefit from our society, our life is enriched. We accept responsibility and leadership and grow in both character and personality. . . Let us tell you about the town of Oxford. As we first approach Oxford, the church steeples and cupolas greet us over the tree tops. For nine months of the year the community hums with students who claim it as home A small business center is adequate to the needs of all, providing food for the hungry and entertainment for all. The many old trees give beauty to the wide streets, well-kept lawns and picturesque homes. . .
