CUT FROSH DOWN NUMEROUS STIMULATING initiation activities originate at Luther Mall, which is very often the scene of chaos for the frosh. FROLICKING FRESHMEN, like Beverly Kohagen, participate in leap- frog and other fun and games on the eve of Amalgamation. Dancing with the mattresses wasn ' t really THAT bad. And neither was doing calisthenics in a double layer of winter clothing. It was just that the mattresses kept sliding into bumbly heaps on the floor and that exercising in the afore- said attire became a bit warm after half an hour. But so went freshman initiation, and the lowly Wartburg Squires of 1966 were put in their places. Rooted forever in every freshman ' s mind will be the tra- ditional orange and block beanies. With these creations squared on the head, frosh were easily identified and made vulnerable to the devilish inventions of the sophomores. In- deed, Hey, Frosh! quickly became the dreaded summons to service and degradation. But however terrible they may have seemed at the time, Squire Days were significant to new and old students alike. They were days of making speedy adjustments to the college environment, of beginning lasting friendships and maybe having a little fun. As the agony of the rules of the day, Amalgamation, buttoning, choruses of the Loyalty Song, and hair stiff with spray starch disappear with time, memories of my first wonderful days at Wartburg College will remain forever.
