reshman Year N EW FACES, new classrooms, even a new home, freshman year. Handbooks and letters foretold of big sisters and at last they appeared. Yellow and green took on new importance. Remember Convocation; in the dignity of the chapel, watching the processional we became a part of Mount Holyoke. New talk, new customs, C.I. libe, J.B., source themes, posture pictures, and serenades. We loved to sing, and there were all sorts of serenades, the best, to our big sisters before and after show. What a surprise to learn of the talent hidden in the class of ‘45! Then with only enthusiasm and trembling knees we tried out for choir. The proudest moment of the year, our debut in the back balcony. We were so eager on Mountain Day, trails weren't good enough; we blazed our own, loved it, and cried never again.” We thought we knew all until Hazing Day when the Galloping Goons were impressed. Then a new conception of the senior, the peak of academic and social achievement, on Founder’s Day... ice-cream distributor at 6 A.M. Things happen early here. Who ever expected the sophomore choir 5:30 A.M. the Sunday before Christmas vacation? New events all, Llamie dance. Waves’ Show, midyears, spring fever in South Hadley, the Sphinx at Ring Presentation and the packing of trunks to send home with the realization that soon there was to be a new freshman class.

The college hadn't changed a bit since we had visited the campus. In the fall South Hadley was a pretty sight. It looked the way a college should—red brick, green ivy, and green shade. The big gate stood open. Cars and people were everywhere. Was one of those girls your roommate. ' Our rooms were unexpectedly empty. Almost the first thing we did was to start planning and buying room decor- ations. Roommates went hunting for cushiony chairs, and prac- tically stood on their heads hanging pictures and curtains. The times we weren't rushing somewhere or getting settled we got to know our next door neighbors. We met so many new Academic at enues It's the Sat) for me! First Impressions
