Yes, but who are all the others? Lepinning Seven o ' clock, and all is well. Confusion, stairways, long lines, more confusion, IBM cards, tired feet, more confusion as to class status—all these are significant in the process of registration. Add monotone voices, book lists, and hands which are cramped from writing, and you have the first week of school. If the student is fortunate enough to survive such measures of torture, he is tested for further endurance in the form of pre-enrollment. The latter provides an incentive to rise early in the morning and let the body proceed automatically to stand in more lines in order to enroll in the proper classes. Fortunately, school begins soon after, and it is hoped that with the change, confusion ends also. Perhaps one of the most relaxing changes is found in the Freshman Reception which is held within the first three weeks of school. This occasion offers the student an opportunity to personally meet the very gracious President and Mrs. Sproul and Chancellor and Mrs. Kerr. In addition to this, the new student encounters many members of his class and has the distinction of dancing with a prominent member of the senior class. Refreshments and constant chatter add the proper informality necessary for the success of any party. This dance is indeed quite popular as approximately 3,000 students attend each year. Hearty laughs and friendly handshakes. 31
