First on campus in September were the freshmen, who arrived early for orientation and to enroll ahead of upperclassmen. Terry Mantz was one of the assistant residents helping newcomers get settled in Shockley Hall. Shown are Marion Moyer, Mantz, Jerry Hopkins, and Perry Pederson. Part of the orientation program was a mixer, into which most of the freshmen threw themselves with enthusiasm. The “bunny hop” got most of them going in circles around the fieldhouse floor. September Started Things September brings a new beginning for freshmen and a beginning again for upperclassmen. Enrollment, with attendant social events and freshman initiation, is, of course, a major series of events. This year, there was a million-dollar building program already under way to take note of. The football season brought the color and excitement of that sport. Students soon were settled into the semester’s routine of class- work. Barbara Mercer and Kathy Hubbart make sure their freshman beanies are adjusted to an acceptable angle. Sharon McCollum was one of many who found it well to make use of library study facilities. Workmen pour concrete for the expanse of floor, around which walls soon began to make the shape of the new library.

There’s Fun and Work From the time a student enters Northwestern, he becomes a part of its kaleidoscopic picture. He shares high moments of gaiety but learns, too, of the need for serious work. He makes new friendships, some of them permanent. He creates memories. many of which he'll always cherish. Hearty, contagious laughter erupts during a student assembly.

eC Oe . a 4 a —— al: , a ce mt The girls stole part of the football players’ thunder by organizing a “powder puff” version of the game between freshman and upperclass women. Sponsored by the Women’s Recreation Association, the contest resulted in a 6-0 triumph for the freshmen. The captain of the winning team, Carol Hutcheson, breaks through here in a bid to tag ball-carrier Lorene Gardner. Others identifiable are Marjorie Feely, Corky Jewell, Marilyn Freeman, and Kay StahIman. In the rock-’em, sock-’em type of play typical of collegiate football, Ranger fullback Dallas Barnett (42) proved to be a hard man to stop for the Northeastern State College Redmen, as the Northwestern team turned in an early season win, 19-6. |
