Fall Faculiy-Sludent Reception IN THE SPRING, FALL AND New Swimming Pool In the fall, we started off with the annual Faculty-Student Reception which formallY opened the new Student Union Building. Then, it was Football, v ith pep rallies, team send-offs, and the football games themselves. The Presentation Ball in early- December was the long-awaited moment when class favorites, campus beauties, and Mr. and Miss SFA were presented. After that the social season went into full swing with organization-sponsored dances leading the parade of varied college life. Fifteen shopping days ' til Christmas found us in a whirl of formal dinner-dances end- ing with the Austinite all-college dance the last night before holidays began.

REMEMBER . way back in H8 Vel Village: Ralph Beal, Housemother Dunking as penalty lor failure to wear Lumber- jack Costume. How well we remember the integral parts of our year at SFA that have combined to make it a good year — a pro- gressive year — a year that we ' ll never forget. The tradi- tional Freshman Day initiated modest freshmen — minus dignity and pride — into campus life on the Forty Acres. Homecoming, the much anticipated week-end, which hard work makes successful and memorable, is gone — in a flurry of Lumberjack Day, parades and floats, the football game, the receptions for the exes, and the magnificent Coronation Ball. Intramural sports, club meetings. Student Congress meetings, and the highly entertaining club as- semblies are all a part of our SFA . . .
