RULES Match, Frosh? ancl similar commands can be heard as the freshmen run around the campus per- torming humiliating gestures towards the upperclass- men during this period of collegiate orientation. At this time, last year's high school heroes are awakened to the tact that they are mere mortals and are sub- jected to the all powerful commands of the dictating Orientation Committee. However, all is not negative for the new students, They are introduced to school traditions and policies, taught school songs and cheers, and made to feel that they are an integral part of the school. They also engage in many profitable activities which the Orientation Committee plans with much diligence and labor. Some ot these activities include picnics and dances with neighboring girls' schools, student- faculty meetings, study periods, and daily Mass. By the end ot orientation the overall results are ready to be reaped. The freshmen meet many upper- classmen, have the traditions and the spirit of the school instilled in them, and, most importantly, ad- iust to a collegiate environment. Working as a group, the newcomers provide the student body with bon- tires, half-time skits and other entertainment. Through this group participation they meet many of their classmates. 5 :wg , 1 li , 5 ' ' .. -ws ,J , A, 1 - ,. J n W I tai l at 2 H 5 f 5 it Q N if ! Q. X AQ Q5 Walt spikes one.
