Every year after the summer is over you begin to wonder just exactly what has happened to the months that seemed so long when the school year closed. But, there was a job and a short trip on a vacation somewhere and you went swimming on several Sundays and Sat- Ltrdays. And now, you come to the Freshman Welcome Picnic and sort of summarize the entire summer in one day of entertainment. Perhaps you spent the entire summer finishing the cramming for the finals that you did not do in June. Or maybe you were eager enough to purchase your textbooks early and get ready to ask the profs questions that they never dreamed existed. Of course, that is what most students did, especially the older and more experienced ones. The young and less wise people merely existed for three months and did whatever came along. But wait, don't go away. No matter what you did during the summer, you can still have a great deal of fun at the picnic. FOR THOSE WITH AN INTELLECTUAL BENT, CARDS PROVIDE A PLEASANT AFTERNOON DIVERSION nf S.,

This must be a rather strenuous game or else that fellow is doing a wonderful job supporting that nct. Q J A 9 Y Yi ., r 3 Frosh Pionio Hi Ho the Green Glen Park. It's al- most back to school and that means itls time for one last free Sunday without the threat of classes staring around the dark corner of Monday. It's up, up, up with that volleyball-a bounding global skin like an eclipsed sun in the air- ?1,nd be careful not to trip over that net. For the still more vigorous minded there is a co-educational football game or a bouncing square-dance floor. There is a jazz combo playing in the drab bar- racks building on the edge of the park and groups of people, many of them beanied, walking around enjoying the drizzling mist that carried on through most of the day. All this requires food and there are enough hot dogs, sausages, and soft drinks to satiate the most whetted appetite. Later on in the after- noon there is a baseball game and bowl- ing. The evening brings a dance band to the pavilion, and well, one can hardly do all the things that are to be done. Mmmmm . . . but that hot dog looks tasty, Joe.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW STAG AFFAIRS-BOYS ARE SEEN HERE TALKING WITH BOYS The first week of intellectual pursuit was climaxed with the Freshman Welcome Dance, sponsored by the Student Council. Over twenty-five hundred freshmen and upperclassmen danced to music furnished by the Collegians. A pep rally during intermission furnished the collegiate atmosphere and gave the band and cheerleaders a chance to perform. With the close of a week of initiation, the freshmen discarded the red beanies and officially became members of the U. of D. family. The new co-eds were welcomed at a tea and fashion show given by the Women's League, September 23. Be- fore sitting down to tea, sorority members modeled ensembles suggested for campus affairs. Chairman Julie McCarthy introduced the Reverend Fr. Ce- lestin J. Steiner, the Reverend Fr. Joseph Foley, Student Counselor, Miss Helen Kean, Dean of Women, and League president, Margaret Farley. Each freshman co-ed attending the tea was as- signed a Big Sister, whose function was to help the new student with scholastic and social prob- lems. The new coeds left the tea more informed concerning correct attire at University functions, a few friends richer, and confident that their Big Sisters would be able to cope with any situation.
