Moving in that first Sunday before the start of classes proved quite a chore for many. Parents and students could be seen all over the campus strug- gling with luggage, boxes and stuffed animals. Boys assigned to live in the new High Rise Residence Hall had to take some time to round up some furniture for their rooms. New Student Days provided an opportunity to become acquainted with strange surroundings and an unfamiliar atmosphere. Besides this bit of orientation, new students found themselves standing in lines, lines and more lines. Trips to the college bookstore for books and supplies were in order during the first days and there was always time to sneak a few minutes for some relaxation and just plain horseplay. Completing registration and paying feesfilled parts of the days before classes began. Another must for freshmen was the trip to Headley Hall for Identifi- cation photos. Monday new frosh took time out for an outdoor dance - at least the girls did. Freshmen shake to the sounds of The Dirty Old Men at a not so successful street i dance. 11
