A most honored Otterbein tradition was continued in the form of the bonfire. As a preliminary to the first home game of the football season, an immense bon- fire and loyal students contributed to the building of team spirit. Industrious freshmen spent an entire af- ternoon gathering wood of all kinds for the fire. The huge pile was topped with the traditional privy. The evenings activities were begun as friendly sophomores greeted the pajama-clad freshmen at the bandshell. Beanie King and Queen, jerry Collins and bludy Boyd, were chosen as being those who had contributed most to the efforts of the day. Following the introduction of the football team, and a few rousing cheers, the crowd made its way to the bonfire. The evening was cli- maxetl as the group crashed the local movie.

An integral part of the orientation program has al- ways been exams. It is amazing what a vast amount of knowledge one can be called upon to recall in such a situation. Otterbein freshmen found this to be true as they pondered thoughtfully over language, science, and mathematics in the customary exams. Under the watchful eyes of Student Council monitors, the intent workers thought the series of tests would never end. But such serious matters were forgotten as the fresh- man talent show became the important item on the agenda. After being accepted upon audition, indi- viduals and groups waited their turn. At this time they made their debut before the entire student body. Instrumental and vocal solos, as well as pantomimes, completed the program. Typical of the spirited new class was the ingenious group which presented a mock drill exhibition. The receptive audience was eager to see just what the newcomers had to offer. It gave the freshmen a chance to show their talents as well as drawing together the upperclassmen. Tcaitr, tartar. and more testi greeted the neophyte collegians. , ,..,..,-.- .fi it - ' A + . 0, ,.
