Perhaps the most difficult year of a student's college life is his first. At least that has been the experience of the class of 1943 thus far-through many dangers, toils, and snares it has already come. It started off with a riotous election which thoroughly astonished many hometown high school favorites come to college. Then, a group of people took over the plush-lined positions with a look of being equally as dazed as those who were not elected. Brainiest storm: giving Dr. Corlett his debut as a class sponsor. Freshman Week (open season with no game refuge) followed close behind, and Frosh and Sophomores alike learned that enough' s enough. From then on through the year the cooperative class spirit displayed by the Freshmen was monumental. The Frosh wrote more out-of-bounds publicity letters, confused the largest number of people as to when Sunday school started, and had more class meetings than any other class. In athletics, the basket-ball crown is set at a decidedly Freshman angle, and a good percentage of the all-school soft-ball team were Freshmen. The Freshmen are versatile. Athletics, quartet work, orchestra, dramatics, a cappella choir, gospel teams, debate, and even the theology department have all been influenced by the Freshmen at work. These achievements, and many less known, were reached, not by any person, or committee, but by the Freshman class. They give promise of making history.
