ORIENTATION: INITIATION 1 don ' t believe we have to go to bed at 1 1:00 pm! What do they mean we were disrespectful! They can ' t make us go to bed at I 1 :00, but I am a little tired; oh well, let ' s make the best of it. Get up! Grab a pair of socks! Put on warm clothes! Get up! Bang! Bang! Okay gals, tie those socks to- gether. Now put them over your eyes! Hold hands! Let’s go! Duck! A tree! A puddle-jump! (I don ' t be- lieve this . . . it ' s pouring rain, I can’t see, my arms are stretched to their limit . . . No, I ' m not going to sing the Brady Bunch song! But I will sing the Regis song! I’m a Regis girl, so pity me ... ) Okay! You can go back to bed now . . . (Whaf? I’m wide awake now! I am an official part of Regis! — ) by Christine A. Bates ' 8S d

Upon arriving at Regis College all of my fears and anxieties quickly faded. The orientation committee went out of their way to make each and every freshwoman feel welcome and at home. They arranged a num- ber of activities to keep us busy and to acquaint us with the school. Prob- ably the most vividly remembered event will be the freshwomen initi- ation which was, in a sense, the first activity that united the class as a whole. Over all, orientation was a very helpful and enjoyable experience that left every participant with a positive outlook on college life. by Tricia CUshan ' 88 k

JUNIOR SENIOR The Junior-Senior Champagne Party has been a tradition at Regis for many years, and it holds a special significance for the two parties involved. It is the passing of the torch of wisdom and re- sponsibility from the seniors to the ju- niors. That evening in early May is when the senior class relinquishes its throne to the Junior class: the seniors are going out into the world to make their mark and leave the juniors the task of filling their sometimes enor- mous shoes. With all the respect due the seniors, the juniors fill their glasses with cham- pagne and good wishes. The seniors give each junior a gift to remember them by; the plant I received as a junior grows on my windowsill still. It often reminds me of the responsibilities that were entrusted to me: the duty to set a good example and to help and befriend those who aren’t as fortunate as the seniors in their times of trial and tri- umph. It is also a constant reminder of the friendships formed with some of those seniors and of that elegant even- ing in the foyer when by their actions they said: “We entrust you with this College and all that it symbolizes, which we hold dear to our hearts; cherish it and proudly pass it on, as we have to you.” by Kathleen Brooks
