‘Z'ivr (?h u (Ur r i LANE LIBRARY RIPON, COLLEGE Ripon, Wisconsin rr No son, Vm not a Communist.” Chapter I HETHER you arc a senior or a freshman, school always seems new and strange when you start the fall term. It could be the long vacation, or the novelty of going away to school, but I suspect that it is the great number of new faces—either a complete change of teachers and friends, or new faces appearing in once old familiar scenes. The first week is a nightmare of adjust- ment and readjustment for faculty and students alike. Registra- tion lines, enrollment cards, and conflicting classes test the mettle of everyone concerned, but you muddle through somehow and end up a student of Ripon College with a nice bill to prove it. When classes begin, old students find themselves assigned to classrooms they never before knew existed, freshmen band together in search- ing parties to find the secret meeting places of their classes, and faculty members fight it out (in a dignified way) to determine who belongs in which room. But in a very short while the turmoil is over, and it is hard to remember the time when you were not going to class every day.
