On September 4 of this school year, the students began swarming back to the campus of Ohio Northern. Suit cases and trunks lined the walks as the students unloaded their many possessions. After everyone had their clothes unpacked, they were anxious to see who had come back to school, to greet new stu- dents, and look around the campus. The Brown Library was full oi bewild- ered freshmen and new students. The advisors were hounded with such ques- tions as What does this mean? and What should I write here? To the young, inexperienced freshman those registration cards seem like a million. The next day the upperclassrnen went through the same process of registering. This was not quite such a complex prob- lem because they could do most of their own registering. The only annoying part was the long stand in the hot sun while waiting in a line which moved too slowly into Brown. Pre-school proinlems such as reg- istration were iaced by the new freshmen. Although some stu- dents did not quite seem decided as to what courses they would take, they did handle the job very capably. When everyone had their schedule planned, the migration was toward the bookstores. There they purchased their books and other school supplies so that they would be ready to get a good start in their classes on Thursday. Every- one was broke, but nevertheless happy and anxious to begin a new year of college life. 311GVliCfblQ lille- Northern like any other college has its registration line. Here the upperclassmen await their chance to fill out their schedule cards on Wednesday morning. Page Seven D

President Macintosh gives a big smile as he wipes a coke off for the students at the All-Campus Mixer held at Taft Gymnasium. Professor William Bale looks concerned over the project. During the Freshman Week of l95O, the new freshmen were treated to several fine and enjoyable parties. On Tuesday evening ot the big week all members of the class were ad- mitted free to the movie at the Ada Theater. Wednesday evening the Student Christian Association held an informal get-together party for the frosh . There was group singing, led by Dave Sano and then the pastors of the vari- ous churches were introduced to the members present. After their talks, refreshments were served. AND THE YEAR BEGAN WITH PARTIES... The Student Council held a picnic for the frosh at Memorial Park. This party was one that made the newly oriented freshmen forget the large amount of studying that they would supposedly be doing later in the quarter. At the party the new students feasted on hot dogs, potato chips, and soft drinks. After the feast dancing was held in the shelter house. The music was furnished by phonograph records. Everyone enjoyed the evening very much. Needless to say, there were a few new acquain- tances made by everyone who attended. Friday evening an all-campus dance was held in Taft Gym. Many of the students at- tended this dance. Cokes and potato chips were sold by the members of the faculty. Every- one enioyed the dance as was to be expected. The music was again furnished by records. Dian Smith looks puzzled as she has Max Beck explain part of the program to her at the S.A.C. Freshman Party. Carl Tucker is investigating other things.
