WE came from everywhere in South Carolina- from the Pee Dee tobacco farm, the Pied- mont textile village, the rice plantation on the banks of the Sampit. We left them all to come to Carolina and we had our reasons. You needed an education these days-you could find a hus- band there-you could have a great time. Some of us came because we weighed 225 and played tackle-some of us came because daddy didnit. We wandered into the faceless, milling throng -register here for Y Camp-We did. There were smiling, confident counselors waiting for us there with funny stories to tell- Coeds have been Walk- ing by Maxcy Monument for years now and that ball hasn't turned yetv-we laughed-new expres- sions from the counselor-cut a flick-eat a bean- the skinny-two-day-and advice-who not to get for freshman English-donit take History 11-a list of good crip courses-how to register-We were snowed. We met the girl campers-smiling, blonde, blue-eyed-laying the ground work for the Big Rush-get introduced-make small talk- the old joke about the basketweaving course- next Saturday -she was dated up-maybe later -and the cheerleaders-We g'Gave ,em Hell, Game- cocksv and bought rat hats for a dollar and a half-we had heard they were good for bitching rides on the week-end. Some one said the in- evitable prayer and they brought us back for orientation. We went to classrooms-old-gray-the smell of chalk dust-placards above the blackboard- An Honest Man Is The Noblest Work Of Godv-and on the board, Pep Rally Tonightv-the smiling counselor-faces addressed us again-Carolina has an honor system-a great tradition stands-Wesley Foundation offers- We Hail Thee Carolina?
