FROSH LIFE Rat traps, pigtails, pillowcases. College life had really begun, after a preliminary social whirl called Freshman Week, with the ratting of the Freshman girls, and the boys quaking in their shoes, awaiting thir own hazing. When it started, what mournful faces! Finally the anticipated Pa- jama Parade came. What sport to crawl around High Street with only an egg for company! No- body suffered from his experiences but many a Frosh began his year in a more humble manner than was expected. Faculty Reception . . . Pigtails, rat traps, etc. . . . Shoe hunt . . . Revenge at last ... A wet day for the Sophs.

FRESHMAN CLASS In breathless excitement and eager anticipa- tion we arrived on the hill. We were green, ot course, but we immediately responded to the attraction of the friendly college. Shortly, we watched the whirl of Freshman Week subside, sadly reconciling ourselves to the grind of classes. In prompt succession the rigors of rat- ting descended, atoned for in full measure by our decisive victory over the sophomores in the annual football game, tug-of-war, and tie-up— the first class ever to achieve all three victories. Some of our members were fast grooming themselves for places in our imaginary Hall of Fame: Bill Loll, varsity football; Jerry Voith, varsity basketball; Joan Johnston for ' Smilin Through. Exams nearly wrecked us. However, from the scrambled ruin we managed to sort out and elect Roger Berry, Student Council representa- tive: Norman Tarr, class president; Pete Shin- namon, vice president; Joan Conners, secretary; Bill Carver, treasurer; and Vivian Dinger, Reid Hall Council representative. Not so much do we dwell on the year 1945, for it is evident to us that we must attune our- selves to the emergency of the day. We feel we have within us the makings of an answer to whatever the hill may demand of us. We came with high hopes and in the same vein we envision a bright bid of promise for the future.

With rooms in Wil- liam Smith Hall, as headquarters, the sor- orities sponsor dances and parties, do social service work, encourage concen- trated study and seek to build up ideals and friendships that will last throughout a sorority girl s life.
