FRESHMEN Left to risht: JOYCE HENDERSON, Vice-President; CHARLES HENDERSON, President; ELLEN MOR- GAN, Secretary-Treasurer. On September 21st many new faces began to appear on the campus . . . Some of these had that intellectual look which invaribly comes with graduating from high school . . . Some appeared lost in their new surroundings — -shy, timid, puzzled. A few with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge were eager to begin classes . . . The Freshmen Class had arrived. The boys were outnumbered two to one — but not one complaint was heard from them. The first few weeks were tough ones for these new arrivals. The Freshmen — the chlorophyll of the campus — were taught what college life is . . . the hard way. They had to enter buildings and climb stairs backwards, bow down to the Sophs and shine shoes for them, and learn the Freshmen Creed. Then to top all of that came the Rat Parade. Debs and playboys donned their good looking clothes — all of them at once — and paraded to town where they entertained the Sophs with songs, dances, speeches, races and everything else imaginable. It is a far cry from those timid, green boys and girls who entered West Georgia last year to the confident, intelligent, progessive young men and women who now have behind them a year of outstanding work and progress. The future of the Freshmen looks bright . . . With all the brains and talent pos- sessed by this group, how could they be anything but successful! 23
