FRESHMAN SPLINTERS It's quite a change from high school to college. High school was a requirement. Since there were few electives, there were no important decisions to make. Looking back, high school was like a pressing all the cookies with one mold. Suddenly we were kicked loose from the security of being like everyone else. We had to make our own deci- sions. We chose to come to West Virginia Uni- versity and study forestry. We soon found that our class was the largest number of forestry freshmen to ever enter the University. This was the first glimpse we got of the growth of our profession. There are more foresters employed now than ever before, and the field is still wide open. To keep up with the ex- panding demand for foresters, and the larger number of boys who desire to become foresters, West Virginia University is enlarging its Divi- sion of Forestry. Although this is our first year of forestry, we are an important part of this growth. I guess it seems quite natural to feel pretty big, but we were soon reminded that we were freshmen. Our class was given an invitation to an outing at Cooper's Rock State Park. It turned out to be a very interesting evening. We were just stand- ing around tying handkerchiefs over our eyes, when someone suggested that we go for a hike. It sounded like a good idea. There were an unusu- al amount of falling boughs, big logs, low passes, and pesky little sticks all hampering our prog- ress. A few fellows lost some minor articles of clothing. We all lived through it, however. I can think of no nicer way to take a hike. After some refreshments, We introduced ourselves to the up- perclassmen by sinking the ax. Since then We have been wrestling with the other things, which the upperclassmen teased us about. Chefmistry, Algebra, Biology, and Forestry, these are the classes most frequently discussed. In connection with our one dear Saturday class- Forestry 1-I would like to dwell for a couple of paragraphs on our truck drivers .... but I won't. Our fellow freshmen foresters have one sure thing in common. We are classmates in forestry. As a class we will try to make our instructors and our school proud of our achievements. With the fine example set by our upperclassmen as a guide, we will try to become the best class of foresters to graduate from West Virginia University. ., 5, - - .
