OUR FIRST DAYS Application forms and transcripts arc checked by Mr. Vernon Peelc, Assistant Director, and Mrs. Betty Marshall, Administrative Assistant, as one of several steps in the admission process. Miss Ruth Harrell is having her program of study outlined and her schedule arranged. Dr. Finney Markham, Supervisor of Counseling, and Miss Betty Simcoe, Counselor, chart the results of a battery of tests and advise Mr. Ramon Marino of the results. Students are also invited to bring their problems to the Counseling Office where they will receive sympathetic attention and are given careful guidance and suggestions for adjusting themselves to the perplexities of college life ORIENTATION CAMP A place second to none for making friends and learning how human professors can actually be. We are taken to the YMCA Camp on Chesapeake Bay for two days just before Registration and the beginning of classes. There we learn about the College and its attempt to give us an education; we hear about the courses and programs of study that are offered. Some Sopnomores tell us about the student activities and social clubs that we can join. Several teachers, lecture to us on the more serious problems of college life. The whole atmosphere is real informal and we learn that a college ‘‘prop’ can laugh and joke like anyone else. By the time camp is over, no one is a stranger; we soon find ourselves in classes filled with friends, and there before us is that “prof” with whom we have already become pleasantly acquainted. OUR CHIEF! Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr., Director of the Norfolk Division, takes time out from his responsibilities to smile happily at the camera.
