c Freshmen honored during first Week on Tech campus Freshman Week at Tech is focused on the new students on campus and is used to introduce them to university life. Upperclassmen, as well as faculty and ad- ministrators, make an all out effort to welcome freshmen in becoming an active part of the university. Students are on hand to help freshmen move into the dorms, show them around campus and answer questions that might arise. Freshmen were given a chance to get acquainted with their fellow class mem- bers at a dance featuring the Poor Souls. A reception held in Memorial Gymna- sium gave them a chance to meet their fu- ture instructors. A picnic on the quad honored the new Tech students. Freshmen this year at Tech adjusted quickly and were soon taking an active part in student life. wen K is - 1- fs':.s:ffzfaz-fi, aw-f, s.,,r.r -ga., .,.- .. me - - r mare .,-f .,.,: ,.. -W 'W' straw- A an . rt..

Area parks, lakes attract students Student life at Tech is by no means limited to campus and city. When books and classes, tests and papers begin to give students feelings of confinement and con- fusion, freedom and relaxation may be found in the hills and woods surrounding the Tech campus. Several state parks are within a short drive of the campus, not to mention the large number of scenic spots in the nearby undeveloped woodland areas. The big favorite of students in the spring and summer months is Center Hill Lake, especially Floating Mill Park. This area provides various recreational activities for students such as swimming, skiing, boat- ing, fishing, camping and picnicking. Primitive scenic spots such as Burgess Falls and Cummins Falls make their beauty manifest to the Tech student the year round. Beauty such as this is some- thing to be sharedg and sharing the beauty and enjoyment of nature is one reason that Tech students enjoy close relation- ships with friends.
