Although the student council works frantically at the begin- ning of the year to invent things for bored students to do during that lull of registration week, there are still a few dull spots for those who are anxious to get into the whirl of things. But the events of that first week this year were worth remembering. The Snack Shack, ABOVE, had a grand opening on Tuesday night after the watermelon feed and official student body welcome. This year the Snack Shack goi off to a colossal start under the direction of Jim Carden, manager. He revamped the whole place, and bought much- needed awnings. The old eating-spot took on a new look, and drew business. Wednesday night the Zeta Alpha Greek club sponsored their traditional vesper service around the bonfire on Wiley Field. The large crowd packing the rickety stands heard Dr. Ross Price speak on college life. Thursday night everyone put on his best Sunday-go-to-meeting bib and tucker to be officially introduced at the Student-Faculty Reception. Dr. Purkiser, college president, and his wife, RIGHT, greeted the students at the beginning of the line. On Friday night all hilarity broke loose at the Get-Acquaint- ed party. Don Redmond and John Wise, BELOW, LEFT, rendered a couple of Spike Jones tear-jerkers with ap- propriate costume and expression. Seal, Cole, Perry, and Okimoto, in true barbershop style, gave their clever version of Goodbye My Coney Island Baby. FIRST WEEK FIRST WEEK

Also required was chivalrous courtesy to all other students and a knowledge of the Mascof ' s contents, demonstrated often by the singing of Pasadena C ' In the 3 a.m. darkness of Initiation Friday, the loyal Frosh gathered at the Goodwin House patio and serenaded all the upperclasmen girls awake, while the Soph boys took Frosh class prexy, Garth Hyde, for a bath in P.C.C. ' s fish pond and then left him to his own devices with a towel and a bus token. At 6 a.m. all Frosh met on the athletic field to carry out such ac- tivities as rolling raw eggs with the nose, putting up a girl ' s hair, and doing group calisthenics. The afternoon tug-of-war went to the sophomores as the freshmen got a bath in hose water, and that evening all hostilities came to an end a« the two classes jointly sponsored a bury-the-hatchet party at the First Congregational Church.
