The day we entered school, we began to wonder what our haz- ing would be. We never dreamed that our week of initiation would be funny to everyone but us. The boys wore short pants, women's hats, sneakers, nylon hose, suspenders, and girls' blouses. They had to carry their books in a scrub pail and tote a shoeshine kit to be used zt the beckoning of a Senior. As Freshmen we are Hazed . September 19-23, 1951 ,g,,' The girls had their skirts on upside d o w n 5 their hair part- ed in the mid- dleg wore no makeupg a n d presented t h e S e n i o r boys with apples each morning. H a z i n g Night marked the end of a hectic but ex- citing week. We ,were ordered to do many silly things, such as: finding a needle in a box of pine needles, t w o boys setting two girls hair, and a girl shaving a boy with a dull knife.
