Initiation The annual day of initiation was officially September 10. On this day each freshman admitted how seedy he was through dress -gunny sacks and rolled up long underwear-and vocal utterances. Seniors are Superior and the Freshmen are Inferior were true when the latter were forced to shine shoes and carry books. Many freshmen girls found that the sen- iors carried extra hair spray and dark red lipstick in order to en- force the dayis rules for groom- ing. In the afternoon assembly the You Can't Win Them All Dejection I8 freshmen who had not performed according to the initiation rules were made to pay. One punish- ment was being tied to a partner and both trying to bend over with- out breaking the eggs they held in their hands. In another case they got to play tug-of-war with the bleachers. The seniors showed their kind- ness by admitting the freshmen to the initiation dance free, if they presented their armbands, which read Seniors are Superior, Fresh- men are Inferior .
