ORIENTATION Freshman Orientation was held from Sunday, August 29 until Tuesday August 31 to welcome the freshman class to Rosary College. All freshmen were invited to spend the weekend in the dorms. The freshmen, their parents and all their gear were greeted by the Lifesavers. After they moved in, a reception and picnic dinner were held in the Social Hall and the Quad. After the fam- ilies left, freshmen and lifesavers enjoyed an evening of getting to know each other and other fun. This was concluded with a candle-light prayer service in the chapel. On Monday night, after their adminis- trative duties were taken care of during the day, many of the freshmen journeyed to Chicago to enjoy the Kool Jazz Festival. They returned from the musical fun to a Goopey Board which consisted of mak- ing their own ice cream sundaes and floats. By Tuesday afternoon the commuter fresh- men had returned to their homes and the residents were settled in their dorm rooms. They had made the first of many new friends and were ready for Wednesday morning classes to begin. Lifesavers begin moving the new arrivals in.
