The maze of rcg itralioo it threaded by helpful Initructofi. Registration Week... An educatod law I» be» . Record enrollment was the highlight of regis- tration week. The new college students were accepted into the Wildcat fold with a number of activities. Among the most active of old students were those who constantly tried to catch a freshman in a forbidden activity. Because of freshman week, the beautiful strains of the school song, Purple and White, were heard everywhere, as the re- luctant freshman bowed to the powerful sopho- mores. The end of the week saw the annual kan- garoo court demolish many freshmen, but luckily, the majority of lower classmen lived through the event. A barbecue and square dance showed the support of the new college members as they rallied to dance.

Mike honpfj Homecoming Queen Judy MeFeritnd. Homecoming Parade, floats, football game, dance, all of these activi- ties took place during the week of homecoming festivities. Homecoming proved to be just what the alumni wanted this year. The Weber Wildcat eleven beat the nationally rank- ed Compton Tartars of California to win the home-coming game. Hundreds of students and alumni witnessed this his- torical game. After the gridiron battle, a dance was held in the ballroom to honor the alumni and their partners. During the week a parade was held downtown. The various organizations on campus each produced a float which, they were each sure, would win the sweepstakes prize. They all would have, too, but only one winner could be named. Th« dampened perader» flc«; royalty cannot. John Hale, Jody McFarland and Miko Murdock. The alumni breakfast was a high- light of the week for the alumni. Old members of the Weber lair talked over the good old times and speculated on the present and future achievements of their alma mater. An assembly provided the students with a view of their older counterparts. The alumni group put on a good as- sembly. Representative Henry Aldous Dixon, a former president of the college, gave the main speech at the alumni spon- sored event. Even though the week was very stormy, Representative Dixon had this to say, I sincerely hope that the people of Weber College will make it more and more in the future.
