FRESHMEN Monday, the day of the new, is fittingly given to our freshmen, the class of 1941! Monday, Sep¬ tember 13, was no unlucky day for the freshmen, for they arrived, awed and uncertain, to breathe their first college air, to be given the first once¬ over, and to receive the initial thrill of meeting these, their own class members. From Ft. Wayne of the northern plains (they do have plains, don’t they, Max?) , from numer¬ ous cities and towns of the tri-state, and from all parts of Evansville on the Ohio came the 108 wearers of the green to matriculate at Evansville College, and to begin what was for most of them an exciting experience. There were athletes, dramatists, writers, musicians, and even a stray scholar or two included in that freshman group which has integrated itself into our campus life. Bosse, true to form, swung into action politically and filled all the offices of the class temporarily with John Hull, president; Charles Nicholson, vice-president; Iris Buck, secretary; and Cornelia Jordan, treasurer. The social life of the class, as well as that of the school year, began with an all-campus mixer held in the gym on September 16. Everyone yelled, ran, ate, and sang too much, but it was swell. Jeanne Shively and Barrett Cockrunr succumbed to ‘moonlight on the campus’ and developed the first love affair of the class. Crayton Mann with ascot tie and all the trimmings lived up to his Romeo title, and had Jean Baskett and June Fussner breathless. Reporting for work on the gridiron were frosh Bill Schenk, Mason Wiers, Russell Goebel, El¬ mer Johnson, Wetsel Waggoner, Lawson Curnel, Ray Hauck, Bob Floyd, Earl Deig, and Paul Partington. The announcement of yell-leader tryouts rated a picture of Schmitt, Shively, Baskett, Dausman, Kramer, and Lantble on the front page of the second Crescent.

8 A.M. THE CORDIAL WELCOME which President F. Marion Smith is giving John Hull, president of the freshman class this year, is typical of the welcome which Evansville Col¬ legians united to give the class of 1941 on this September Mon¬ day, the beginning of the week, of the school year, and of an ad¬ venture in education. Dean Torbet, Dean of Women DeLong, and Dean of Men Morlock show their interest in freshman im¬ pressions and problems in this chat with Frank Parker and Iris Buck, vice-president and secretary-treasurer of the newly organ¬ ized class.

Pollard young aspirants, but Chester Lynxwiler was the successful frosh chosen to assist Gleason and Wintner for the year. The first issue of the Crescent sent Crayton Mann, Charles Weber, Ray Hauck, Charles Caniff, and Max Thompson scurrying to the ‘rathskeller’ to be put to work on the paper. Sure enough, the second issue carried an article by Max on ‘how seven freshmen can be juniors!’ a mystery of nomenclature. Lat er in the fall the upperclassmen swung into action and demanded that the freshmen don rhinie-pots, use the side doors only, refrain from sitting on the senior bench, and wait until sen¬ iors had passed from the auditorium after chajjels. After Scottie and Hauck came out only second-best in the upperclass court trial, regula¬ tions meant more to the first-yearlings. The freshwomen’s club, Gamma Delta, organ¬ ized with Iris Buck president, Mildred Stinson vice-president, and Eunice Henke secretary. They undertook to keep their members satisfied socially until they could join societies during the second semester. The group was entertained by the three women’s societies during December and January. These freshman girls also kept themselves well occujhed with various other clubs. Taking part in W. A. A. activities were Hamilton, Kramer, Jones, Lamble, Miles, Rodgers, Shively, Schmitt, Yates, Theby, Nagle, Henke, McGlothlin, and Truman. Interest in fourth floor cooking and sewing activities enticed Jones, Stinson (of Four-H Club fame), Sprengle, Henke, McGloth¬ lin. Castle, and Anderson into membership in the Home Ec. Club. In November the footballers were awarded with an annual banquet by the Castalians, and frosh winning their class numerals were Bill Schenk, Mason Wiers, Russell Goebel, Elmer Johnson, Poor Scottie!
