We came from all parts of the country to form the freshman class of Roclciord College. Each of us brought her dreams and plans for herself and her college. During the course oi the year, itwasourjobto correlate individual ideas into a worlcable plan for the good of the class. We began with orientation, the first step toward the solidification of our class. With this lcnowledge behind us, and a year ahead in which to realize our goals, we began to take part in college life. Our first court sing afforded us the opportunity to show our upperclassman the quality oi our collective voice, a voice that has been raised since in gleeiul shouts on October Day, raised with firm commands at the Freshman Show, and with true notes at our liirst caroling. Friendships were becoming strong and fast, and through these friendships we felt the real meaning of our class and the college as a whole. Our spirit grew as we worlced along, we added our bit to the college by new ideas and cooperation. We held class meetings and elected our leaders who were to see us successfully through our Freshman year. We were, by Christmas, part and parcel of the college and had already made our marlc. We got through midterm exams, and began a new semester with the determination to do still better. But the day we had all been waiting for, the dayin which we finally claimed full possession oi our rights was yet to come. The culmination came when we caroled through the halls, announcing FRESHMAN DAY. We celebrated our recognition as part of the college, worthy of notice and appreciation. We found that by adding our individual merits together we had become capable of carrying on our part oi life at Roclciord College. As a class, we loolt forward to the next years with hopes, plans, and iaith. FRESHMAN OFFICERS Back Row: Jax, Gilchrist, Sedg- wick, Squier, Bute. Front Row: Watkins, Cohoe, Grif- fith, Bollinger. IT
