Rat Week Upon the head of each freshman, be they male or female, a cap of unmistakable identification is placed. And before him lies the week to be remembered above all others. Just to make him feel at home on the Oglethorpe campus the Rat goes through Rat Week by experiencing from the funniest to the wildest degradations. He must hop, skip, and jump at the slightest beckoning of an honorable upperclassman. De- spite tired bones and weary muscles, he manages to come through, but definitely not alone, for the lasting friendships made are countless. As one Rat who made it through the trials said — The chairs of highest glory — held by upperclassmen; The sentences of utter gory — given by upperclassmen; Combine to make a friendship offered by upperclassmen.
