My hemline is eight inches above the kneelti Still suffering from separation anxiety and homesickness severum, the class of 1978 was roused from peaceful CD slum- ber at 0400 - the zombie hour. What a shock to double time down the hallways and sight senior storm troopers posi- tioned at regular, evenly-spaced inter- vals shouting commands. tHelp me, defense mechanisms! y Then out into the still morning air and seeing 110 other zombies in formation and realizing that youtre the last one out! And then, learn- ing to salute with an arm thatls still as- leep, marching and realizing you forgot your left-right-left, and singing 0Dont Want to be a Navy Nursett to the firm voice of an anonymous NCO who didnlt know his left-right-left. Walking into the auditorium, and smelling coffee, we realize something is brewing! Big sisters clapping and smiling change the indifferent outdoor spirit of discipline into one of warmth, friendship and welcome.
