Freshman Week Traditionally, the freshman class-this year's three-hundred sixty three strong-arrived on campus apprehensive of things to come. Some of their qualms were dispelled, however, upon meeting their junior counselors and advisers, and others as they discovered the results of the battery of tests that they were subjected to during the first three days before registration. The frosh became more enthusiastic as they prepared for registra- tion and began to get acquainted with each other and the campus, and soon they began to feel like full-fledged freshmen as they worked together to present an outstanding talent show on the night the upperclassmen returned. 9

The Bzg Bon ire One of the most anxiously awaited traditions of the school year is the freshman bonfire. The freshmen, trying hard to build a bigger and better bonfire than the sophomores had the year before, spent the Friday afternoon before the Hrst home football game gathering wood and other combustible material and carrying it to the park where Student Senate members instructed them in the art of building a bonfire. That evening, dressed in their best pajamas, the more-than- curious and slightly frightened frosh lined up in front of King Hall for their snake dance to the bandshell. Jeered by l the sophomores, the freshmen yelled enthusiastically at the pep rally and cheered with satisfaction at the announcement of hard working Beanie King and Queen George Biggs and Karen Steiner. The flames of the bonfire, which had been lighted by soph- omore class president Keith Jarvis, danced brightly as the frosh ran around the Ere, cheering and singing the college songs. To complete the evening, the snake line, led by Stu- dent Senate president Dale Smith, wound its way through town and ended the festivities by crashing the local theater.
