This year of 1955-56 brought an increase in enrollment of campus students, as it has done in the preceding three or four years; students with the same ques- tions, getting the same answers. Registration in the fall of the 1955-56 school year saw 1175 students enrolled, an 18 per cent increase over the 1954-55 school year. Freshman enrollment was also on the increase, with 383 beginners on campus this school year as compared with the 295 enrolled the previous school year. The 1955-56 school year ushered in not only the increased student enrollment but also the expansion plans for the College — a big step forward for EC.

Informal classroom periods, labs, and extra school activities brought the males and females decked out in their bright- colored tall socks and Bermuda shorts. Bare knees were really a must at in- formal events. There were severe criti- cisms at times, and unless one ' s knees were pretty, joking proved a favorite pastime. But, it looks as if Bermudas are here to stay, pretty knees or not. They ' re the shape of things to come for the on-the- campus personality. The time is ripe; put on your Bermudas; this is it — the forward fashion find for College days. Hey! Your knees are showing! Dell Patterson ap- pears to be too busy conversing to care.
