ClaAteb befUct Activity They are as fine a group of students as we have ever had ' instructors commented of the 397 freshmen who matriculated at college in September. Upperclassmen, nevertheless, officially dubbed them as green when after two very, very long days of orientation and registration, freshies were compelled to wear green caps which signalled them out blocks away. It wasn't long, though, until upperclass- men, freshmen, and faculty rallied in unison when the Student Council announced that it would match dollar for dollar to the amount of two hundred dollars, all money raised by stu- dents and faculty members tor the purpose of furnishing the new men's and women's lounges. Appropriate was the statement made by David Huffstutter, Student Council presi- dent: 'Since winter is cn its way, it might be a little cold sitting on the front steps. Subtle? Yes. But it was an impetus for action as well. Tables were set up in the corridor leading to the auditorium on second floor. Large graphs showing the collection of each of the four classes and faculty were attached to the wall. A large graph, in the form of two ther- mometers which hung the entire length of a pillar, from ceiling to floor, indicated the prog- ress made in comparison to what the Student Council would match. Slogan for the drive was: Watch the thermometers rise! During class intermissions, Butch Whitlock urged students over the public address system to sacrifice a coke and to contribute to the fund. Within two days. Miss Emma Hanthorn, chairman of the drive, announced that the goal had been reached when the thermometers in- dicated that two hundred and six dollars were raised. Freshmen took the lead in class activities when they held their Barnyard Dance in the gymnasium which had been converted into a hay loft with saddles and bales of hay. Square dances called by Morris Wilmot, with old time music accompaniment consisting of an accor- dion, harmonica, and fiddle proved to be fun. Exhausted jitterbugs took up modern swing for relaxation. What's the difference? a by- stander asked. Dancing to nickelodeon music, sophomores staged a successful dime dance in mid-March, while juniors had a record attendance at the all school dance in the dining room of Men's Hall the evening of second semester registration. Under the presidency of Marjorie Hollingsworth, juniors were hosts to seniors at the annual junior- senior banquet on May 2. The theme of the banquet was Pipe Dream. To carry out this theme favors consisted of soap bubble pipes. The banquet room was cleverly decorated with giant soap bubble pipes and large toy balloons representing bubbles. Marjorie Hol- lingsworth was toast mi stress. For the traditional senior sneak day, seniors chose Victoria Springs as their destination when they failed to appear for their classes on Friday, May 16.
