Freshman Week Began College Memories Alumni Director James Mentesti and Counselor Linda Brewster greeted Freshman Donna Prior and mother at Parents' Reception. Paul Brown, Administrative Assistant to the President, seemed to im- part some definite advice to incoming Freshman, Stephen Wroblewski. Transition from high school to college was an exciting experience, but most freshmen proceeded cautiously as they became acquainted with their new surroundings. Freshmen days introduced the newcomers to college personnel and fellow students, it furnished the opportuni- ty of registering for courses and taking placement as well as counseling tests. To make the' transition as smooth as possible such social events as a picnic, big-time concert, co-ed recreation nights in the gym, orientation meetings with administra- tors and advisors and a reception for parents of Freshmen, were held. No ghastly initiation rituals, no bending, folding or mu- tilating, the first week as college was made as liveable and as much fun as possible. Fr. Titus Ludes, 0.F.M., Ph.D., President, greeted parents and new stu dents at reception. Star-Lite Terrace provided a comfortable setting for parents and Freshmen to become acquainted with faculty.
