Union College - Garnet Yearbook (Schenectady, NY)

Page 17 text:

Not long after our arrival back on the campus, we begin to see the familiar faces of people connected with the college for a long time. The faculty changes from year to year, the coaching staff rarely stays the same for over tive years, even high administrative posi- tions see new faces at fairly frequent intervals. We need, then, some small group of people that we can remember as part of Union throughout our four years here and that we can fondly hope to see a part of Union when we may visit the campus again. These are the people we take little note of when we are here, but they are the same people whom we will remember long after we have forgotten countless other 'college acquaintances. Miss Thompson of the Library, Miss Travis and Mrs. Rapclje of the Ad Building, Ed Fitz and Fred Parks of the Gym,-we wonit forget these people because of their love for Union and their services to their school. we dee ' raced ,if Ed Fitz . . .

Hn Mn ZGfM6 The Union College Freshman Cam-p is one of the main features of the 'incoming Fresh- man's Orientation. From the Hrst get together in the pile of jumbled camp equipment at the Old Chapel meeting place the initiation into college life begins. 1 B... ,. The bugler's popularity rises and falls with each call. Entertainment runs rampant at the Freshman Camp. Pave Ten afzedfaman ecamp The Freshman Camp on Lake George is reached about noon and after getting some- what organized in your assigned tent you find an opportunity to look over the beautiful location. You find out that the camp is run on a non-profit 'basis Kas one can almost gather by the size of the mealsj and also that each year's leader is one of the upper class- men, who this past year was Al Lewis. The camp life here Hlls every minute, from the early morning dip twhich all like to say they takej to the bull sessions late into the night. Fresh air, exercise and plenty of sleep tif you have a private tentj-this sounds much like a training camp. It is in many respects just such a camp. Here recreation and a college introduction mingle, for during the day there are games and recreation rang- ing from soft 'ball and swimming to lacrosse and football, while at night everyone gathers before the huge fireplace to hear 'brief lec- tures by various representatives of depart- ments of instruction. Late night snacks and community sings certainly have the desired effect in that everyone is drawn closer into the personal ties that the college itself em- phasizes. When the last night rolls around and the skits are given by each tent there are many heavy hearts and a hope that some day they may pay the camp another visit. Swimming in Lake George appeals to the most unromantic of souls.
