,.-1 l T ARS bulging with suitcases and cratnmed with clothes, books, and odds and ends announced our return to Lafayette in September. XVe saw old faces and new and struggled to remember names unused through a summer vacation. Hlhich room was ours? YN'ho was our room- mate? XVe left our parents waiting outside, pufling under a load of shoes and books or balancing a lamp, typewriter, and waste- basket, while we found the answers. Moving was an all day project. The old cry, Klan on second, echoed through the halls of the womens residence units as Dad appeared carrying bags and boxes. YVe hurriedly crannned our belongings into drawers and closets and went to see how the campus had changed since last year. XVe found old buddies and caught up on the news. XVe revised our little black books, deleted those pinned, engaged, or married, and then looked around for more possibilities. iVe noticed new freshmen, timid and bewildered, walking slowly across campus trying to read maps half concealed in English I books. Xve felt very old and wise. forgetting that all we knew was the way to the Sweet Shop or I-larry's. The registration line was supposedly for freshmen, but a few Purdue lforevers waited with them outside Quonset Hut 8. Feeling very wealthy, with our first months allowance, we bought everything in sight. Then we elbowed our way into the book stores and pleaded for the oldest. most dilapidated used books. Often we found ourselves deciding which one we could do without until Dad could send us more money. The inevitable parties and TG1Fing treks gained motnentum that first week. XVe gut back into the college mood singing party songs and digging out dusty ukuleles and party hats. Bridge games came back in full force after the vacation lull with the familiar shout, fourth lor bridge, and just one more hand. The favorite tables at the local gathering places were dusted off and things seemed to pick up where they left off last june. Then classes. of all things, classes had to start, and another year began, ls LJN SEPTEMBER WE RETURNED TO THE CAMPUS AND IMMEDIATELY LOST OURSELVES IN A SWIRL OF ACTIVITIES Despite the hopeful rumor that pre-enrolling would save hours of waiting. we found ourselves being handed the same old line.
