Our first week was spent in a riot of activities acquaint¬ ing ourselves with the College. The Freshie Dance helped students to get to know each other and by Freshie Day, September 23, the seniors had marked their victims. The day was honored by girls in pyjamas and boys in diap¬ ers. However, the tortures of this day were borne stoically by all, including Freshie Queen, Wendy George. Many freshies sold toilet paper in aid of the Building Fund, while others pushed peanuts with their noses down the Bay’s clean floors. Departing from the tradition of placing last in stunt night, First Year’s brilliant presenta¬ tion of In the Beginning” rated second place. Again displaying their talents later in the year, they excelled in Theatre Night with the produc¬ tion Sorry, Wrong Number”. The Student Council, elected soon after the term began, was ably led by president Ernie Lawrence. At the time of elections most of the nominees were unknown. However, the electors voted wisely and the Council turned out to be the best possible. As Christmas drew near First Year crowded libraries in a pre-examination panic. After the Christmas fallout a whirl of social activities 1 ;gan again.

Students were diligent, enthusias¬ tic and unusually talented. 19

freshie week There occurs around United College every September a week full of fun, friendship and fes¬ tivities. To fully initiate the freshman into United College, and more important to make him become a part of college life, several activities are planned - each to welcome the freshie to United. This year was no different and after the hustle and bustle of registration we found in rapid succes¬ sion, queens, dances, receptions, pep rallies and hazing. At the Freshman Reception held in the library, freshmen, seniors and professors witnessed the crowning of Miss Wendy George, our Freshie Queen. Seven o’clock one morning in Convocation Hall, the scene was of a few hundred freshmen dressed in the costume of the day, ready to perform for their friends”, the seniors. All day the hallowed halls echoed with the singing of the Monotones, auction- ning of box lunches and the shouting of college yells. The freshmen pledged their loyalty to the College, and their devotion” to the seniors. A most appropriate climax to Freshie Week was the parade. Surrounding a flower bedecked float, later to ‘be given first prize, were a few hundred United College freshies who were proclaiming to the on-lookers what they had learned in one short week: ”Raise the roof for old United Tell the world that she ' s the best.”
